Oh, the Early Nineties hip-hop dancing perfection starting at 3:02. Squee!
From just having half-heard it in the restaurant, I was really not expecting this level of early 90's dick-in-the-boxness.
I still think it's a lot of fun, though. And would be great during a workout.
got to be real:

Wait, there was booty dancin, but there weren't no dick in a box. I wanted to see some guys dick in a box!
This thread is being neglected. I don't think enough people are listening to the song. I assume this is Ttam's fault, although the path is indirect.

"Hey, I like this song from 1995" doesn't give one much to work with.
People could discuss Shazam. Or breakfast tacos. Or how they downloaded and worked out to this song and just have to gush over how energetic they felt.
Or how I'm reading 'Bossypants' while proctoring an exam, and it has made me snort unceremoniously with laughter more than once. This book is so great.
WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT SHAGGY'S HIT SONG "BOOMBASTIC"? IT IS BECAUSE NO ONE CAN HANDLE THE TRUTH.
OK, I've got one. Recent remixes include 70s/80s pop pretty often.
Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it (damned amnesiac kids, they think they've invented everything themselves), or something else? For instance, when Soft Cell's version of Tainted Love got written, they were covering a 20-year old song popular in local clubs. Now the electronic bloops from that cover are themselves a shorthand for music from a certain era. The interest in ~20-year old sources, does it come from human generation time (fixed) or from recording technology/distribution cycles (accelerating)?
Here are two I've liked in the last couple of weeks

I'm currently surrounded by native Spanish speakers and reluctant to find out what scorn will be heaped upon me if I click to watch a video whose freeze frame features a rump and the word TIBURON.

Apropos of the sex threads recently, Sarah Jones had a response.
My one-year old loves AC/DC's "Thunderstruck". He dances to it in the exact awkward "I don't know what I'm doing" way that generations of male AC/DC fans have always done.
13: I'm pretty sure you're being wise.
Can you hook some English speakers up to your computer?
I was at a city-wide garage sale on Sunday, and there was a necklace I should have bought. I've been pining over it all week. I just located the vendor and she's going to hang onto it for me! I'm so pleased. It's yellow cut stones. Go me.
That is to say, still proctoring this final exam.
17: Congrats, heebie!
10, 18: I take it that you decided to stop reading the book, because you couldn't stop from laughing out loud. Reading Unfogged presents no such danger.
I don't think that song would work for my workout mix. I could dance to it (or preferably to the Cheryl Lynn song), but I need something more aggressive and/or dark for workouts. Reggaeton does the trick (yay for not understanding the words), or hip hop, some dance/electronic.

I tried biking while listening to music this morning for the first time, and found out that I can't keep a beat pedaling (really, I can't do it at all, but I can't even get close pedaling). If my cadence is too low and I try to speed it up, I inevitably overshoot and get out of sync again, and it's an awkward, conscious process -- not at all like running where you can just fall into the rhythm.
Biking with earbuds in? Or a boombox strapped to the handlebars? Actually, don't answer that. I'm too pleased by that second mental image to have my hopes dashed.
She's talking about running with the band alongside.
