Battle of the Slides

Slide
My wife’s been hired out to teach some line dances.
You may have noticed this, but which one is greater?

The Electric Slide
vs.
The Cha Cha Slide

Categories of Combat
Similarity to MC Hammer Video:
Winner: Electric Slide
Great use of balloon pants lets me forgive wearing an open jacket over a bikini.

Ability to be danced by even me:
Winner: Cha Cha Slide
“Slide to the left, slide to the right. Now breathe! In and out, in and out. Charlie Brown!”

Best mysterious lyrics:
Winner: Electric Slide
“Umb diddle luppa sure like to boogie!”

By the way, the real lyrics are:

Jiggle-a-mesa-cara
She’s a pumpin’ like a matic
She’s a movin’ like electric
She sure got the boogie

Jiggle-a-mesa? What, are they Gungan?

The Winner: The Classic, Electric Slide

Hey. I remember watching Macarena on Univision before Los del Rio ever got a hold of it.

By the way, the next time you’re hired out to teach dancing, check out this site that my wife found.

AND MIKE: Here’s your Star Wars parody.

The Haiku
It’s interesting
to dance to a sliding beat
outside the wedding

Funky Gunga
Meesa funky Gungan!

  1. You know what….. At least these music videos are bright and happy freakin’ a. It’s nice to see some old footage of actual positive stuff that has nothing to do with some guy getting cheated on, losing his girl, or somebody dying. Another nice thing about it is that there’s nobody that looks like they’re trying not to wear anything, THEY’VE GOT FULL CLOTHES ON OMG WHAT A CONCEPT.
