Brendan - that's pretty impressive that you recognized every song and have danced to them, glad to know these songs are still in circulation.

I realized this when I thought to myself "That is different than how I dance to THAT song", which seemed happen for every damn song...The funny thing is, I am but 22. And suddenly ones life is reduced to snapshots of dance moves...

That song will be forever creepy based on the time I went to the Camden Riversharks minor league baseball game (we won free tickets), and they played that song between innings, and all of the children in the crowd (which is to say, about two thirds of the crowd) in unison moved out into the aisles and danced to it. It was quite possibly the most terrifying thing I've ever witnessed. Uhhhhh….Cotton-Eyed Joe…

We're talking ia-fhtagn levels of mind alteration. Worse yet, they cut a whole freakin' album.
