Yeah yeah yeah do the Harlem shuffle

[Senusret I]

Songs like this....that I enjoy SO MUCH...make me think I was born in the wrong decade!



]You move it to the left
And you go for yourself
You move it to the right
Yeah if it takes all night
Now take it kinda slow
With a whole lot of soul
Don't move it too fast
Just make it last

You scratch just like a monkey
Yeah you do real cool
You slide it to the limbo
Yeah how low can you go?
Now come on baby
Don't fall down on me now
Just move it right here
To the Harlem shuffle
Yeah yeah yeah to the Harlem shuffle
Yeah yeah yeah to the Harlem shuffle

Hitch hitch hike baby
Across the floor
I can't stand it no more
Now come on baby
Now get into your slide
Just ride ride ride
Little pony, ride!

Yeah yeah yeah do the Harlem shuffle
Yeah yeah yeah do the Harlem shuffle
Do the Monkey shine
Yeah yeah yeah shake a tail feather baby
Yeah yeah yeah shake a tail feather baby
Yeah yeah yeah do the Harlem shuffle
Yeah yeah yeah do the Harlem shuffle
Yeah like your mother told you how
Yeah yeah yeah do the Harlem shuffle
Yeah yeah yeah do the Harlem shuffle

Somehow that reminded me of that Cha Cha Slide thing, which is now going through my head. I don't know if it got any play outside of Chicago.

Clap your hands everybody
Slide to the left

One hop this time
Right foot let's stomp
Left foot let's stomp
Cha Cha now ya'll
To the left
Take it back now ya'll
Two hops this time
Two on the left
Two on the right
Cha Cha now ya'll
Slide to the right
Slide to the left
Take it back now ya'll
One hop this time
Right foot let's stomp
Left foot let's stomp
Charlie Brown
Cha Cha now ya'll
Five hops this time
Touch your knees
how low can you go
can go down low
All the way to floor
Can you bring it the top
like you never never stop
One hop this time
Right foot let's stomp
Left foot let's stomp
Reverse Reverse
Reverse Reverse
Cha Cha now y'all

Hmmm...for some reason this thread makes me want to shake my tailfeather.

I'm sooooooo happy the Cha Cha Slide died out.

Ya can't go wrong with Born to Hand Jive:

Before I was born, late one night,
my papa said everything's alright
The doctor paid, mama laid down,
with a semitone bouncing all around
Cause the beebop stork was about to arrive
Mama gave birth to the hand-jive

I could barely walk when I looked in town,
when I was three, I pushed the fly
While jumping would I move my legs,
and I saw the dance while I gathered
A's Bowed and clapped, I was only five
And I danced 'em all, he's born to hand-jive
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah - everybody
Born to hand-jive, baby,
born to hand-jive, baby - yeah

How low can you go, how low can you go,
how low can you go, how low can you go

Higher, higher, higher and higher
Now can you hand-jive, baby, oh can you hand-jive, baby
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah,
born to hand-jive, oh yeah!

harlem shuffle is on right now

[Lil' Hannah]

RiffRaff:
It's astounding;
Time is fleeting;
Madness takes its toll.
But listen closely...

Magenta:
Not for very much longer.

RiffRaff:
I've got to keep control.
I remember doing the time-warp
Drinking those moments when
The Blackness would hit me

RiffRaff:
And the void would be calling...

Transylvanians:
Let's do the time-warp again.
Let's do the time-warp again.

Narrator:
It's just a jump to the left.

All:
And then a step to the right.

Narrator:
With your hands on your hips.

All:
You bring your knees in tight.
But it's the pelvic thrust
That really drives you insane.
Let's do the time-warp again.
Let's do the time-warp again.

Magenta:
It's so dreamy, oh fantasy free me.
So you can't see me, no, not at all.
In another dimension, with voyeuristic intention,
Well secluded, I see all.

RiffRaff:
With a bit of a mind flip

Magenta:
You're into the time slip.

RiffRaff:
And nothing can ever be the same.

Magenta:
You're spaced out on sensation.

RiffRaff:
Like you're under sedation.

All:
Let's do the time-warp again.
Let's do the time-warp again.

Columbia:
Well I was walking down the street just a-having a think
When a snake of a guy gave me an evil wink.
He shook-a me up, he took me by surprise.
He had a pickup truck, and the devil's eyes.
He stared at me and I felt a change.
Time meant nothing, never would again.

All:
Let's do the time-warp again.
Let's do the time-warp again.

Narrator:
It's just a jump to the left.

All:
And then a step to the right.

Narrator:
With your hands on your hips.

All:
You bring your knees in tight.
But it's the pelvic thrust
That really drives you insane.
Let's do the time-warp again.
Let's do the time-warp again.

That must be a Milwaukee thing, because I don't even know what that IS.

Oh god, it's been played at a TON of weddings and they used to play it at church and youth group stuff too...I think it's more of a rednecky area thing, because I heard it a lot at cow college.

[Peaches-n-Cream]

We have the Electric slide, the Macarena, and the chicken dance at weddings. I have no idea what this Cha Cha slide is.

Lil' Hannah, Thanks for the Time Warp. I need to throw some toast now.
