A Song Even I Can Dance To

Tweet

I am a lousy dancer, someone with two left feet, or possibly two right feet, but feet guaranteed to tread on the feet of others occupying the dance floor. I can even mess up the Hokey Kokey. At one pub, it was a regular thing for me and a lady there to do a spoof smoochy dance at the end of the Sunday nights. She was married to another regular customer and, he like everyone, knew we were just being silly. One lady who wasn’t in on the joke actually saw us one night and went to the landlord complaining that the customers were making fun of a man who was clearly mentally disabled – she meant me. The landlord knew I was a graduate, but she refused to be convinced. She never came back. One dance I could / can do is that to Billy Joel’s Uptown Girl, which is literally two steps left – two steps right, repeat until the song ends. It may be the simplest dance ever – thank you Billy Joel. Here it is performed in the Youtube with the Uptown Girl played by Joel’s then supermodel wife, Christine Brinkley. The easist dance steps ever kick in at about the 2 minute 40 seconds point Arthur Chappell
