Walk It Out -- Fosse style old school. I dare you not to want to dance.
Westside Walk It Out!
thanks to Robin for posting this earlier. Now it's in my head forever. :-)
And just because I seem to be on a dance kick these days, a little verse for the cool down.
Dance, if you've torn the bandage off.
Dance in the middle of the fighting.
Dance in your blood.
Dance, when you're perfectly free.
As you can probably detect by my recent choices for 80's Music Fridays, I was am partial to what was known as "The Minneapolis Sound" (Prince, The Time, Alexander O'Neal, Jesse Johnson) and I take a liking to disco, dance, R&B and soulful ballads and blues no matter what city they're from.
Sure, I loved the TomTom Club, Divo, Madonna, the Police , the Go-Go's, the Eurythmics and the rest, but throw down a funky beat and this girl from Funkytown just couldn't resist.
Enjoy three of my favorites from back in the day. Tell me you don't just wanna belt this first one out really loud? If you do, I guarantee it will make you feel good all over.
And if you can just sit there and not want to move your hips across a dance floor with Miss Nenah Cherry or Lipps Inc, I don't know what's wrong with you. You just must not have the funk in ya sister or brother!
And speaking of sampling, Will Smith did more than sample, he basically just copied this song, and I hated his version too. Patrice Rushen's "Forgot Me Nots" is the only version in my book. I couldn't find a video of her performing it, but this is the original song and a cute video of some kid who clearly knows a good dance tune when he hears it.
Party over here! It's 80's Music Friday (according to Abe).
I LOVED the Gap Band...back in the day. Go ahead, play it loud. Dance around...one time...with your bad selves!
I love this little video on living in the moment and being free from worry and mental limits and fears. It's called "Winter of The Dance".
Wish I could figure out how to get it into Vox from where it lives on Current TV (where it's currently the 1219th top rated video). Here's the link from Wish Jar Journal, a wonderful (MT-enabled) blog I found it on.
