Need something energetic and fun on a lazy sunday? Consider this amusing flash toy.

Click the upper left corner to make whatever you want dance.

Scary. That's exactly how I dance after a few beers. Well, to be honest, the beers have nothing to do with it.

And five minutes after I hit submit, I find out there's an English version.

And just after posting that, I find out that their translation for our limbs is a little rough.

Definitely put a smile on my face!

Also doubles as an easy to follow dance tutor.

No, there's nothing even remotely okay about this.

_{Full disclosure: this is how I dance.}

This frightens me.

Easily the most limber knees I've ever seen on a Flash dancing toy. A++!

Luckily I don't dance, or this would be how.

I am trying to be less of a wallflower these days.

It helps that I care less about what other people think.

Hmmm. I'm not sure what I think about this. I'm naturally inclined to go all "get off my damn lawn," but something is suppressing that urge. Apparently, I need to go see a doctor.

Oh, and the translation of the limbs is exactly the opposite of english, where instead of forelegs and hind legs, we have arms and ass arms.
posted by wierdo at 4:48 PM on August 15, 2010

Wait -- you don't have ass arms?

I guess I'm going to make this a tradition.

I came damn close to posting this when it first appeared on the web weeks ago, but the site got hammered by Digg & Reddit dorks and was taken down. HAPPY to see it's back, available in semi-English and fully customizable. Although, in some ways, I prefer the song with untranslatable foreign lyrics.

I thought that face shape looked familiar.

Fun to see Mathowie dancing. Thanks lore! Ha!

Here is my cat Elvis. He is wearing a tie.

In before the inevitable pet deluge.

Lore, you are a genius and a scholar.

Amusing, assuming an infinitesimally small threshold for amusement.

I for one am amazed that Lady Gaga is not involved.

Can't sleep...flash toy will eat me.

Woooow what a catchy toooon! I like the Swedish one best though.

So is "Blomma" Swedish slang for hippy, or just for dancing like a flower?
posted by bendybendy at 4:21 AM on August 16, 2010

It's amazing how shitty a good song can become with a change of language. Swedish truly is the language of music.
