The (original) Bret dance

[tikistitch]

In case y'all haven't seen it, the awesomely bad 80s video that inspired Bret's dance tonight.

Now off to contemplate the emptiness of post-Conchords life....

Ahhhhh... Footloose ! Some kids used to think it was cool... But I was never fooled by it. I preferred Flashdance ;-) (and yes, I've worn leggins with legwarmers and a long, off the shoulder sweatshirt when i was way too young for that sort of shit).

Heh. I remember The Sweater. Suddenly, overnight, you could see everyone's boobs through their armholes. And then, in a flash(dance) the trend was over. I never had The Sweater (I hung with a group of angry protofeminists who derided it as the "Jennifer Beals F-Me Sweater" and would have expelled me from their midst for any signs of ripped armholes), but I cheerfully purchased the Footloose soundtrack in all its awesome vinyl glory. And I saw this video like 800 gazillion times.

I'll try to find a YouTube of Bret dancing--it was glorious. I only wish they'd at one point switched to an obvious stunt double in a wig.

Oh no! Kevin Bacon's mind-control chip keeps malfunctioning and administering violent electric shocks to his brain, making his body flail and spasm violently!!

... Oh, he's dancing? ... Oh, okay.

*snicker*

I can't get over the cheesiness of the stunt-dancer: "Oh, we'll just put him in a Kevin Bacon wig and NO ONE will notice!"

It was the '80s. 'Nuff said.

I blame Bret...
