This one’s got more cheesecake than I usually post. But hey, I like the music, and I like a lot of the dancing, so here you go:

  2. Sing Sing Sing is the greatest Big Band number ever. I think this arrangement features Gene Kruppa on drums.

  5. I gotta admit, the video edit didn’t send me. The song’s great, the gratuitous boob shots were gratuitous…but hang on a minute.

    I *know* that one clip. That’s the 2015 Montreal Swing Riot b-boy dance battle.

    This is a piece of that, and it’s joyous: https://youtu.be/7O6kPEPOoaE?t=185

  6. Off topic, sorry.

    The Australian army has begun forcibly removing residents in the Northern Territories to the Howard Springs quarantine camp located in Darwin, after nine new Covid-19 cases were identified in the community of Binjari. The move comes after hard lockdowns were instituted in the communities of both Binjari and nearby Rockhole on Saturday night.

  7. JNC…I don’t see how the Chief Minister is getting away with this one. Binjari & Rockhole have to be majority first nations communities…Has he never heard of the “Stolen Generations”?

    Must be a competition for “biggest fascist in Oz” between him & Victorian Premier Dan Andrews.

  8. Chap —

    There’s a lot of mixed styles in there that just happen to go with the rhythm: Irish, Melbourne Shuffle, breaking, tap, etc.

    The Montreal Swing Riot video was awesome, I love it.

  9. toe-tapping swing – has got to be my favorite type of music. And those dancers wearing all black in the parking garage doing it so well in unison – love it!

  10. Promised “Cheesecake”. Delivered #$^%#^%^#%#^ chorus boys.

    I guess that is what an “escape button” is for.

  11. DNW:

    Do you have some sort of selective vision? You didn’t notice the cheesecake? It was rather, um, prominent.

  12. You know, that stuff’s harder to do than it looks…

    Last weekend I went to a restaurant called “Twin Peaks.” The sign had a mountainous motif. I wondered if it was a reference to the 80s TV show.

    When I got inside I discovered it was a sports bar with twenty-something female servers in tight shorts and plaid shirts tied off to show off their midriffs and, uh, twin peaks.

    Oh, Hooters, I thought.

    I was expecting some serious female jiggling at the least.

    Instead I saw one shot of cleavage and then on came the mix with the dancing gay boys … like dog poop on vanilla ice cream. My selective vision said: “I learned my lesson over 30 years ago, while sitting impatiently though boring and intellectually obscene movies featuring crazed stalkers of Co-eds in remote cabins .. just for a 3 second scene of a showering Playboy centerfold. LOL

    I had an Irish extraction girlfriend who could do dance steps like that though. It was cute when she did it.

    But if I ever sit trough a male dancing performance again, it will be one rendered by some good humored wiseguy in a top hat throwing exploding firecrackers at the floor.

  14. Hello Neo,
    Good clean fun. Nice swings on some of those back porches. You need not apologize for making my day.

  16. DNW: enjoy the boobage already.

    LOL There is no satisfying some people. And admittedly, I may be one of them.

    All will have to grant though, I think, that I have in general refrained from commenting on the Brothers Gibb, dance videos in general, and most of the artsy topics. As Granny said, if you can’t say something nice … or at least constructive …

    So, usually I try. Usually, that is.

  17. Goldberg and Hayes — Special Report icons since 2009 — have quit FNC.

    The Lame News is having a cow over this because they cute Tucker Carlson’s “Patriot Purge” as outrageous Nazi style fascism “filled with falsehoods” as politifact.com says breathlessly.

    Tucker is getting flack like Trump does: he’s over enemy targets, clearly.

    Has anyone seen this? Two of three parts via Fox Nation are out.

    Trump’s Chairman of his Board of Economic Advisors for two years, Kevin Hassett is stumping for his book “The Drift” on how we’re getting swept into totalitarian socialism.

    For example, Biden’s BBB will takeover low income housing nationwide with federal powers by many millions of units. satisfy Biden rules if you want this dole!

    So Hassett warns us on Dennis Prager’s radio show today.

    Hassett is a reluctant convert to Trumpism to defeat socialism by exposure…to Trump himself. The anti-Trump propaganda painted him as a feckless stooge and a wiley white supremacist combined. A total lie, he learned.

    After two years as Chairman of the PCEA, he returned to the WH help Trump during the Covid Crisis.

    What he found is the same that happened to Dr Scott Atlas of Stanford: blocked, smeared, lied to and attacked by Fauci, Birx and the whole NIH team of bureaucrats.

    The book “reveals Trump’s proven strategy, in which a mix of free-market principles and enlightened nationalism could revive the American economic dynamo. Guided by an unlikely team of brilliant advisers and driven by his own force of will, he recognized that Washington bureaucrats had undermined the American Dream by inserting themselves into every aspect of the economy. These ‘experts’ were leading us down the path to socialism, and Trump fought like mad to turn things around.”

  19. wonderful! that swing dance clip was the perfect thing I needed to lift up from a decidedly awful day. thnk you for posting it.

  21. Love the Benny Goodman and the whole video. That’s the second time I’ve seen the slender dancing man in the grey suit and black shirt and hat.

  26. https://stevekirsch.substack.com/p/biden-is-highly-likely-vaccine-injured
    Biden is highly likely vaccine injured; Newsom is DEFINITELY vaccine injured
    Peripheral neuropathy is extremely common after vaccination (an estimated 80% of vax injured have it), and the timing lines up perfectly. His doctors have ruled out every other cause.

    My hat is off to Mr Kirsch.
    Even if false, this is brilliant propaganda.

    Off topic, I’m one who enjoys Zaphod’s comments.

  30. Anon, there is such a thing as human nature. It’s broad and deep, not simple. That said, turning your back on it is mistaken.

  31. Jim:

    Who is turning one’s back on human nature? Check that thing called a mirror. Race and racism has a long long history of use by evil people, of all pigmentation. Is Zaphod evil or something else? That’s beyond my pay grade. Beyond yours?
