May 14 is National Chicken Dance Day!!!

"There ain't nobody here but us chickens....."


I'll bet you didn't know this.....May 14th is National Chicken Dance Day!
That's right! It's the day officially, well maybe unofficially, put aside to do that ever popular at weddings dance... The Chicken Dance.

You say you've never done or seen the chicken dance??? Wow! Well, it's obvious that your dance education is sorely lacking. Never fear, I am here (ooo that rhymes) to help you! Well, okay, not just me. I have found a fabulous video made ages ago by , surprise, surprise....Lawrence Welks!
Yep, Lawrence and the gang show you how to do this marvelous dance so that you'll be ready for that next wedding or any other classy occasion!
Happy Dancing....cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck!

Saturday Night Dance Party!!!....Wild Wild West

Here's the song.....


Now the Dance!
The instructors show up around 30seconds into the video....I like this vid because they go through a lot of the song.

Wow Wednesday!!

Chinese Deaf Dance Group - The Thousand Hands of Buddha

As long as you are kind and there is love in your heart
A thousand hands will naturally come to your aid
As long as you are kind and there is love in your heart
You will reach out with a thousand hands to help others

I put this vid up because you can actually see people on the side directing movements

I Sing the Body Electric!......Musical Monday

I love this song! It suddenly popped into my head this evening.
I enjoy a good musical and FAME was pretty good.
I forget when it came out...in the 80's I think (I don't feel like looking it up, sorry).
Enjoy this song and sing along :-)


Here's your bonus vid...Out Here on My Own..with a very young Irene Cara.

I Dig Rock and Roll Music!!!

A blast from the past!
Sammy Davis, Jr and "Mama" Cass Elliot....didn't you just love those
variety shows??!!


OMGosh!!! Carol Burnett and Vicki Lawrence from 1967
Those clothes, those dancers! Fabulous!!

Smooth Criminal

Okay...this is really cool!
I have always liked Michael Jackson's Smooth Criminal vid.
The dancing is just fabulous!!!
But check out the second vid where some brilliant person put old clips of Fred Astaire, Cyd Charise and others dancing to Smooth Criminal.
It's Brilliant!!!

Shiny Happy People!

My Goodness! The last 2 blogs are not upbeat at all! This must stop!
Here is one of my favorite "happy" songs! Sing with me....



Shiny happy people laughing
Meet me in the crowd
People people
Throw your love around
Love me love me
Take it into town
Happy happy
Put it in the ground
Where the flowers grow
Gold and silver shine

Shiny happy people holding hands
Shiny happy people laughing

Everyone around love them, love them
Put it in your hands
Take it take it
There's no time to cry
Happy happy
Put it in your heart
Where tomorrow shines
Gold and silver shine

Shiny happy people holding hands
Shiny happy people laughing
