I was reminded of Walk It Out” –a song that will forever remind me of the good parts of my first year of teaching–last week when my fourth period planning buddies and I were gathered in Bryan’s room and some random YouTube was had.
It started when Bryan alerted us to the newest dance craze, the “Stanky Legg.” (I am not lying.) Not only does this dance have the worst name of all time, it appears to also be the worst dance of all time, in that it really does not seem to be much of a dance at all. (I challenge you to watch all 4:18 of this video…I’ve not done it.) Doesn’t one have to wonder how this idea was thought up? (“Oohh…great idea brah! The Stanky Legg! With two “g”s! You kinda twist your leg(g?) around like this…”)
Which then brought us to the much more entertaining dance craze of 2006, which my students begged to teach me many a time.
Which brought us to what might be my favorite viral video of all time, which I first posted a couple years ago. This video never fails to make me LOL, as they say.
Which brought us to the original version–the song Bob Fosse actually meant to choreograph. Less entertaining, but does remind me of my childhood watching Lawrence Welk reruns on PBS.
Which reminded me of the fact that Beyonce recently confirmed that her “Single Ladies” dance was inspired by Bob Fosse.

Isn’t pop culture amazing?
P.S. I feel like Tasersedge with this post of a billion somewhat-related videos in a row.
P.P.S. I wish I could dance. I’ve even been practicing the Stanky Legg.
Hopefully that Herold dance gene will kick in soon.
