Some videos with dancing in them.

sorcyressSo, ages ago on the internet, I found this video, and tossed it into my YouTube favourites1.
It's a whole bunch of people dancing to Shakira's "Hips Don't Lie". I like people dancing, and I like this one especially since it's got a nice batch of people, both boy and girl, having fun and, well, dancing!
Later, I found out about the wonderful, *wonderful* "Where the Hell is Matt" video:
Which, again, had lots and lots of different people DANCING. This time, from all over the globe. It makes me smile just about every time, and occasionally makes me all sappy and tear-up. This is because I cry a lot, but also because it's really quite beautiful.
One night while watching television, I was half assedly watching a commercial when my brain went "wait --what?" I promptly rewound (I love living in the future) and affirmed that, yes, this was the most awesome commercial since the Discovery Channel ran its "I Love the World" commercials. It's for Bacardi --Hey booze drinkers, is Bacardi actually awesome, or just really good at advertising?
Wasn't that completely rad? I make no claims whatsoever to the accuracy of any of the dancing, but it's got a nice song, and does a good job of getting the point across, even if it fails dance history forever. ((Notetoself: Point this at Susan sometime))
Lastly, there is this thing called the Brotherhood 2.0. It is a pair of brothers that decided to make a video blog for each other, and send vids back and forth. It is pretty awesome in general, and has attracted a huge following --what they call the Nerdfighters-- who are devoted to decreasing world suck. My friend Ria is one of them, and she's sucked many of the collegefolk into joining as well, at least in a vague sort of way.
Anywho...this is self explanatory:
HAPPY DANCE!
That's all. Have a good day!
~Sor
MOOP!
Arg, footnotefail.
1: My YouTube favourites consist of "everything I might want to watch again sometime". Unless I bookmark a video instead, at which point, eventually I wise up. It's a pretty eclectic mix of videos, since a fair amount of it is music I want to listen to until I get around to buying it, and cartoon bits, and things people have linked me and all manner of nonsense.
EDIT in 2021 to update the links because something went weird with them

Trust only those who will often not cite popular choices as their favorites. I think the exception to this is Scotches... Really... When you have, like, 5 or 6 different brands to pick from... You can make an argument for it all.
Oh -- and I trust most people who will say they like Guinness, but it's a beer. As I understand it a real Irish beer is practically chewed and served warm.
For the record I don't like any beers I've found, so far.
My favorite rums are no-name labels but they're dark and sweet.
My other-liquor experiences are too sparse to be considered useful here.
I'll stop ramble-vomiting on your blog now. :)

Also, also, if you find that you like coconut rum Malibu is good.

on 2009-09-01 06:54 pm (UTC)I have some other cool dancing videos, but they didn't seem to fit the theme as well.

on 2021-10-31 09:10 pm (UTC)I think something happened to the video links? They don't seem to be the same videos you're talking about in the text, at least.
Edit: Also, mentioning a Bacardi ad reminds me of this Tally Hall song :3
