Forgotten Wham-O Toy: the Limbo Kit
Yes, once there was a dance (or game, or contest) stupider than the macarena: the limbo. An excuse for uptight suburbanites to get loose. And, in 1961, Wham-O made a kit to facilitate doing the limbo. Read about it here.

Voodoo in Benin
Nearly twenty-five years ago, I wrote a novel titled CIPHERS, which featured scenes of voodoo in Benin. Long before YouTube was even a concept, I had to do all my research in books. I would have killed to see this video.

Wraygunn
The Portuguese band called Wraygunn is my new favorite. How can you beat the brilliance of a lyric like "Go-go dancer, maybe my big sister"...?A Million Ways Times Two
The first video shows the band OK Go dancing to their hit A MILLION WAYS.The second video shows four amateur Turkish youths replicating the video.
Which do you prefer?
