I was expecting something along the lines of "On the Run" by T.O.N.E.Z (the theme song for Justified), but this is...

I've heard some would prefer the term hick-hop.

wrok, I was pleasantly surprised to click on your links and see some amazing flatfooting- a topic that merits its own fpp most likely. Just wanted to note that a lot of those videos are cribbed from a fantastic documentary called Talking Feet that I think has been mentioned on the blue before.

And yes, I am partly writing this because I'm afraid that people won't realize that the people in your videos aren't actually dancing to hip hop. Can you tell that gullible is written on the ceiling of my house?

Line dancing meets hip hop.

Fearful symmetry indeed.

We know that which is good mostly in contrast to that which is bad, so I found it useful.

First, that woman DOES NOT BLINK. EVER.

Second, did Mr. 8-Ball get that jacket from Puddy on Seinfeld?

I was kinda thinking this might be like the Fly Girls with fringe, but no. Not at all. Not even close.

Third, I'm home sick with flu and this film is now playing in my fevered brain, over and over. Make it stop! Hey, hand me that fork, wouldya?

White is the new black. Black is the new white. Nothing means anything. Culture is appropriated, but no one knows from whom, or for whom. Everything is gained. All is lost.

Gangstagrass is a similar idea, and isn't anywhere near that bad.

I posted this in another recent thread, but the Geezinslaw Brothers' early 90s classic "Help I'm White and I Can't Get Down" was so far ahead of its time it never gets old.

Source: FourFour, where you can also see some delightful animated GIFs of the dancers. One comment on that page: I took dance in a small town for 7 years. We used this video more than once for the "jazz" portion of our class.

If that wasn't enough of a weird mash-up of things, I present to you: Cowboy Clark - Future Country (hip-hop)

I was at a bat mitzvah not too long ago where this was featured prominently. Every single one of the girls knew the entire routine by heart. Not a single exception. It was the Macarena times a billion.

I was shocked and awed!

But on the whole, I prefer this cowboy-booted hip hop dance.

More successful was the brief reign of country funk in the early 1970s, which in my mind includes Amos Moses, the Grateful Dead's Mr. Charlie, and some early Little Feat like Cold Cold Cold.

Ew.

While we're nuking this from orbit, how about: the Cupid shuffle. Inmates in the Philippines do the cha-cha slide. Fifth-graders do the cha-cha slide.

Those two line dances right there are the most fun I've ever had in a bar. But then, I pretty much like everything, as long as it is country or rap.
