Musical Musings… What An A$$…

Posted on December 8, 2011 by sgottahurt

In the 80’s, it seemed like every song was about love.

In the 90’s, it was all about dancing.

In the Aughties, it was all about sex.

Now — it’s just about body parts:

What I find extra funny, aside from it reminding me of this scene from the excellent Idiocracy…

…is that it samples MC Hammer’s U Can’t Touch This, which in turn sampled (or more accurately, liberally borrowed) the hook from Rick James’ Super Freak.

So this translates to one of two things:

1) “A copy of a copy isn’t quite as sharp as the original.”

Take this scene from Multiplicity, in which Two has made a clone of himself, which in turn was already a clone of Doug (Michael Keaton). Enjoy:

2) This song is the audio equivalent of this:

Ass, ass, ass, indeed.

JusWondering… What Other Dances Could Be Named After Characters?

Posted on May 18, 2011 by sgottahurt

I’ve already written about once dance move named after someone before (The Dougie, named after Doug E. Fresh, RIP M-Bone), so why not do it again?

This time it’s about another dance named after a character (c’mon, Doug E. Fresh isn’t his real name). This time it’s Movin’ Like Berney, after the eponymous Weekend at Bernie’s:

I had not much more to write about this, until I realized there are other dances named after characters. There’s the Roger Rabbit, the Running Man, the Cabbage Patch (Kids), and Batman (who could forget the Prince’s Batdance no matter how hard you try?)…

But who else should have their own dance?

Forrest Gump?
