I have finally viewed the latest mindless phenomenon. It’s the bloody Birdie song again, the Macarena, all those line-dancing horrors of the past but with a better beat and a funnier dance.
Every father in the world is now obliged to get this dance perfect in time for his daughter’s wedding. It is the archetypal Dad Dance.
I won’t be partaking. I don’t have the parts.
That made my night!
‘ I don’t have the parts.’. Neither have I, just for once I’m relieved about it…
BTW, glad you found that graphic; it needs you to do justice to it…
‘Medreich’ is scary, isn’t it?
Yup, my two have been playing that on YouTube almost on a continuous loop for the past month. Be careful, as it starts to grow on you in the end no matter how reluctant you start out.
The Eton parody is a lot of fun, though.
I saw the Eton parody before the real one. That’s what made me look it up. Both are hilarious, especially the part in the original where this guy who looks like Benny Hill can chat up a random redhead on a train just by waving his hand in the air and assuming the expression of a dolt.
Then again, if I could earn that much money just by having the whole world scoff and laugh at me, damn, I’d do it.
It does grow on you. It gets into your head like the Postman Pat song.
I had seen the Eton Parody without knowing the original, or even knowing what is going on. I still don’t, but find YouTube hoaching with the things. Gandalf is in there as, inevitably I suppose, is Hitler.
Those old Nazi propaganda films would have received far better ratings if, instead of goose-stepping and doing the ‘bash-a-seagull’ salute, they had done it all Gangnam style.
They’d have won the war. Imagine trying to concentrate on shooting when the enemy is advancing Gangnam style with that electromusic in the background. You couldn’t shoot for laughing.
Even Klingon style.
Amazing isn’t it. He puts a video on YouTube, goes to number one, earns twice Spain’s GDP and was seen last week waving the chequered flag at the Korean Grand Prix. Not a bad weeks work if you ask me.
Pity we’re not so entrepreneurial here…. well, says the guy that’s about to drive 60 miles to start work (on a property renovation) and won’t stop until 9pm Monday. Wots that working time directive thingie I keep hearing about?
Sometimes you just think of something and it catches on. I haven’t yet.
Have you tried Herpes?
Something more insidious would be more fun. I’m reviewing a book called ‘Aria: Left Luggage’ which has a remarkably fun infection in it. Research into Alzheimer’s might even make it possible.
