An Oldie But A Goodie

I think this video went viral before we even used the word like that, but when I came across it again this morning, it brought one thought to mind: I think I've found my people. Of course, they're all older now and probably properly medicated, but I can dream.

The Torrance Community Dance Group performs to Fatboy Slim's "Praise You":

This is huge for me. I dance Just Like That, which is why I dance alone. I shall now pack my bags and seek out those people.

It's a good thing we don't all have to be as fabulous as Madonna or none of us would ever dance. Did their less-than-fabulousness keep these people from dancing? No!

Spike Jonze is hilarous in this. (I liked his "buddy Holly" video for Weezer, too.) I think the best part is the people standing around like WTF?

I love your people.

My favorite video ever. And Redondo Beach is right next to Torrance.

Looks a bit like the wedding I attended this weekend. Some of those onlookers seemed afraid, too.

That rocks! I don't know how I missed this the first time it made the rounds. It looks like it was filmed in an airport lounge, which enhances it awesomeness!

Takes way more confidence than I possess to do that. How fabulous. Misty May (volleyball) did something similar on the great wall on NBC yesterday - and the looks she was getting are hysterical.

Fabulous.

Weren't they then on the Grammys or something?
