DrPhil, I was going to say that Golden Girls is the kind of "retro" we're talking about that would actually work well. Oh, and please tell me what song you guys did that had people jamming to Butterfly Kisses (BLEEEAAAHHH) instead.

Well, we forgot that this was a song a lot of Black people loved but had not made it to the mainstream (white people). We attended a PWI. The few Black people in the audience were jamming. Most of the white people were confused. I recall one white guy saying "I don't know what I'm watching...what is this."

My chapter's performance was followed by an NPC chapter doing a very cute performance of "Butterfly Kisses". The crowd went crazy. They recognized it and loved it.

Know your audience. My chapter's performance would've been a perfect display of sisterhood if done for a group of aspiring Deltas who were more likely to know the song and get the references.
Exactly this. And now I want to know what song you guys did!

BTW: Youtubed "Butterfly Kisses." Never heard of it! But yes, know your audience.

The first time I was ever in a strip club (courtesy of a few fraternity friends my freshman year of college), one of the first strippers danced to a BK remix. The song is toeing the creepy line to begin with, but in my mind, it's WAY OVER.
