Drunk 20 year old me when this song came on at a frat party or a club or any place: it me.

(I still dance like this. Look into your hearts; if you know me, you know this to be true.)

I'm going on paternity leave soon and the surest sign of how little I care about work right now is that I clicked that link without checking to see what volume my speakers were at.

The volume was loud. Very loud.

I've been told that when I dance (which I do VERY OFTEN, AND IN PUBLIC) I dance like a drunken monkey.

Now I know that I actually look like an animated bear using computer algorithms to create its moves.

I'm okay with this.

I was not familiar with procedural dancing. It looks a bit like Morris dancing, doesn't it?

Interesting!

Also, now I want to go out dancing with MCMikeNamara.

I think I like this one better. Jazzy scratchy 90s boogie vibe bears

I even have one of these that I have worn out dancing more than once. This post is entirely in my wheelhouse.

I've tried and tried, but I just can't find anything at all wrong with that. Ergo, I must conclude that it RAWKS.

That's my second favorite video to that song.

under_petticoat_rule, is your first favorite video the Star Trek one? Because that's my first favorite.

This one is definitely second, though. I identify with this bear on many levels.

I can't listen to this song without thinking of the Neil Cicierega remix

All the single bears
All the single bears
All the single bears
Put your hands UP!
Out in the woods, don't give a shit
I’m just doin' bear stuffs
Decided to dance now I'm feeling the trance
Cause another brother bear noticed me

drlith, you have caused me to link this... All The Single Furries

Please don't hate me.

I apologize for the abuse of the edit window, but reader, I would not believed, nor would have you, that there were three videos on YouTube of bears dancing to Single Ladies.

As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a link to furries dancing approaches 1.

I can't help it. Giant dancing animals make me happy.

there's a star trek video to this song? how do I not know about this?
posted by nat at 1:53 PM on July 1, 2016


For some reason, my gaming opium seems to be dance games this year, and procedural choreography would fill my biggest complaint that among the two games I have, there's only one B-52s song (and it's not Rock Lobster).

I guess Colin lost his bear.

There's a new one! One bear gets down solo to "Nas is Like"; the other bear holds the boom box.

theatro, yes, you got it.

So nat, seen it yet?
posted by under_petticoat_rule at 10:26 PM on July 4, 2016


yes.
took me a bit, because for whatever reason (can't imagine why) it's blocked on mobile.

Maybe that was for the best.

Today, in mostly unrelated news, I learned that supposedly the vid community started at least in part with slide shows at star trek conventions.. and thus predates the internet.
posted by nat at 2:03 PM on July 6, 2016


True story, nat! I was there for at least one of those conventions-with-slideshows.
