*has music stuck in head*
Howait, that's a waltz, isn't it? Cool!
...So what is it, anyways?
*Processes*
..."Peter Lorre Overture"1? You're...kidding me, right?
*goes and listens to it properly*
Hm. Waltz, meander, waltz, waltz...rock.

Okay, so it's a waltz right up until it turns into a rock song. Maybe you could swing to the end of it or something. (I'm sure you could do *something*, but it turns into four beats instead of the three that makes waltzing easier. Also, speeds up a tad.)

***

"Heartattack '64"2 is *also* a waltz, and a slightly less meandery one. Plus, it slows down really nicely at the end there, which would look good with some sort of pretty cross-step turn or somethin'.

I'm pretty sure "Cathy Catherine"3 is swing, and I am absolutely positive that you could swing *wicked* well to "Ich Erinnere Mich An Die Weimarer Republik"4.

"Trains"5 is dis*tinct*ly a waltz. I'd like "The Devil's Ball"6 to be a tango, but I don't actually know enough about tango to be sure I'm anywhere even approching the right base there.

Uhm. Yeah. In short, World/Inferno Friendship Society is roughly the best band ever, and I may have to try bringing the CD's to Oella sometime to do some experimenting with someone (Larry) who knows more about dancing than I do.

More music babbling, probably having to do with NEFFA, to come later.

Hmm. Waltz until it changes, then two-step or sautuse, maybe? Those are pretty close to a waltz (but in 2)...

That sounds like fun. Particularly if I know that the music is changing and I'm not just losing track of it.

If you were dancing with people who did know it, it would be kinda wicked pissah, definitely.
