Classic Images.....MBARNUM.....Van Williams. Must read his TALL STORY story....that Josh Logan always had one scene in his movies like that!

So sorry to hear about Cal's wife, DR MBARNUM....

And how! Page Two - the Hustle!

Anyone remember the Batussi? It was popular for a week or so.

Here is how to do it.

First take your index finger and middle finger and make a peace sign. Then turn your hands with the fingers still in place so the front of your hand is facing your face.

Now draw the positioned fingers on the right hand across your eyes, with the eyes inbetween the positioned fingers. This should be done with the left hand and at the same time as the right hand is doing it

Now shake your ass a bit. Seriously. Do some weird things with your arms while you are shaking your ass. Only shake your ass for 5 seconds or the effect will be lost.

Rub your hands downwards across your body till you reach mid hips.

Then grab both sided of your cape and twirl around for 5 seconds.

Good morning to DRs Michael Shayne and Elmore.

DR MS - only Adam West could do the Battusi to good effect.

Food morning, all! And a special one to our DRs Tomovoz and JRand56. DR Tomovoz, did you see my inquiry about Anthony Warlow's DIE FLEDERMAUS (it always reminds me of a Snoopy "dark & stormy night routine")?

I have a friend in hospital. If he is released, I may need to take him home. Otherwise, it's Toyland and p'raps the NYPL today.

TOD: Did anyone actually dance the (forbidden) Lambada outside of terrible films ? I always preferred the film and Broadway dances: jig hop, continental, tapioca, varsity drag, beguine, etc.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #36 on:** January 04, 2007, 05:25:01 AM »

Have a good day, DR ELMORE. Vibes for your friend.

Off to work.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #37 on:** January 04, 2007, 05:44:01 AM »

No DR Elmore. I've not seen Mr Warlow in "Batboy"

I wonder if he dances the batusi?

Good morning, Larry.

Will you reach post #7000 today?

Ginny · « **Reply #40 on:** January 04, 2007, 06:51:00 AM »

Thursday morning greetings! Another work day, which will include training on some new AV equipment in the auditorium where I do most of my presentations.

Charles Pogue · « **Reply #41 on:** January 04, 2007, 07:02:28 AM »

I was a mean Twister when I was twelve. Wond several contests. Alas, the Twist peaked and so did I. I was never much of a dancer after that.

Re: last night's episode of MEDIUM.

Another really good show.

I must say though when i read the description it sounded a lot like the other dream episode (that one featured alison and her middle daughter both having dreams (bridget) and this one was with alison and ariel (older daughter).

I do like when they include the kids because i find it very interesting. Although it also makes me wonder how much this really affects them.

Anyhow last night's show was a good one, especially because it was not obvious to me what direction the show was heading in.

Although I did think that they didn't have enough scenes with her boss. He sort of came out of nowhere since he is usually in a lot more scenes.

Good morning!

Bright and not especially cold today. We're supposed to have rain tonight, but right now, things look and feel great outside!

Matt H. · « **Reply #44 on:** January 04, 2007, 07:16:25 AM »

I was just read the Screen Actors Guild nominees for films and TV, and I was surprised and delighted to read that Julie Andrews has been given their Lifetime Achievement Award.

Terrific and much deserved!

Whatever this storm system is, it includes "pressure" that affects my sinuses.

I've a mild sinus headache although I'm breathing freely.

In the SAG awards. DREAMGIRLS, LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE, and BABEL each scored three nominations apiece, the highest numbers for any movies this year.

DR JRand: I've no idea what the results of my "lottery" tix are. Will check during the work day.

Despite my ruminative enthusiasm of yesterday, I have LOW expectaitons.

Matt H. · « **Reply #49 on:** January 04, 2007, 07:19:58 AM »

In addition to the other dances named, I remember learning the Pony which I often combined with the Swim in the years after the Twist. All of those dances bring back memories.

Yes, I remember the Hustle, too, something like ten years later.

Matt H. · « **Reply #50 on:** January 04, 2007, 07:21:57 AM »

I don't know how much viewing I'll get done this afternoon. After lunch, I must make my way to Target to pick up some items, and who knows how long that will take?

Edisaurus · « **Reply #51 on:** January 04, 2007, 07:35:09 AM »

Anyone up for The Chicken Dance?

Edisaurus · « **Reply #52 on:** January 04, 2007, 07:36:49 AM »

I was in france when the Lambada (The Forbidden Dance) was at its peak. Every wedding, every party, this song was played relentlessly. And it's not even a good song! And how can the dance be forbidden if everyone and his dog was dancing to it?

Edisaurus · « **Reply #53 on:** January 04, 2007, 07:44:50 AM »

In the mid 70's I remember going to a concert by the Average White Band. I was one of the few white folks there. I remember looking over the balcony at this huge crowd of folks on the floor, wearing straw hats and doing this dance en masse that I learned later was some form of The Hustle. It was the first time I'd ever seen it and I was amazed that everyone seemed to know this dance. I started to think that it just wasn't part of my genetic makeup.

I was working as a music and drama specialist at inner city parks that summer, so I asked the kids about it. (The girls there loved to do my hair, which was waist-length.) After braiding my hair into cornrows, they taught me The Hustle. When I came home, my Dad (alarmed by my new hair-do...which was a hair-don't to him) asked me what I'd been up to. I told him I had learned The Hustle that day.

In his mind, he heard that I had "learned how to hustle" and decided I should quit my job because of all these "bad influences"! (He didn't know about the dance craze...)

I think I'll head down now to clean the bedroom areas before cleaning myself up for lunch out and errands later.

elmore, the tapioca? I remember the carioca. Anyone remember Miss Dee Dee Sharp and The Pony, Little Eva and the Locomotion? How come no one does the Black Bottom or the Turkey Trot anymore?

MBarnum · « **Reply #56 on:** January 04, 2007, 07:59:37 AM »

The TWIST is my favorite dance to watch...and to do...although it hurts after awhile.

MBarnum · « **Reply #57 on:** January 04, 2007, 08:00:42 AM »

Dee Dee Sharp's THE PONY is one of my favorite songs, but I don't know if I have ever seen anyone do the dance.

TPunk · « **Reply #58 on:** January 04, 2007, 08:01:19 AM »

Edisaurus, your story made me laugh. A lot of the kids here are into "Chicken Noodle Soup." I think it's a song with a dance associated with it but I'm not sure. What I am sure of is that it involves a lot of hip movement. More than I ever saw at my middle school dances.

TPunk · « **Reply #59 on:** January 04, 2007, 08:02:53 AM »

I enjoyed last night's episode of Medium. Good story, good mother daughter drama.

Does anyone know when The Closer is coming back on? They had a 2 hour special episode and then nada.
