And even though I actually like the song, the Freddy might be the all-time stupidest dance sensation to sweep the nation. Look, even Frankie and Annette are doing it.
It’s like ABBA meets Hilter Youth. I still can’t grok the part where the “dancers” are kinda wandering back and forth across the stage beating on toasters.
The hip-waggle at 1:29 & Armi’s dorky “dip” at 2:28 bring so much to the presentation.
BTW, Dani, the lead singer girl in the video died of alchoholism a few years back. Don’t ask me why I know this. Also, she was banging Armi, who was married to someone else. Also.
Having grown up mainly in the 70s I can honestly say I must have been in a cave or a coma because I do not remember half this stuff. Of course, being an American I was instead fed a diet of Bay City Rollers, The Carpenters, Donny & Marie, Sonny & Cher, Captain & Tenille (sp?), Mac Davis, etc. You would think after all that stuff like this would be nothing.
If I had a soul, though, I just threw up a little into it…
Busby Berkely, move over. I’m sure (?) they didn’t know how that little section near the beginning was going to look. I had to go lie down for a while.
This rocks and I can dance to it.

Don’t look at the medallion! Don’t look at the medallion!
Move over James Brown there is a new King of Soul in town.
Tintin, why do you insist on outsourcing overseas when there is so much talent right in our own back yard. Why do you hate America?

FYWP
Look, even Frankie and Annette are doing it.
The French took a stab at it but sadly they seem to have trouble singing and dancing at same time.
Well, this was a welcome (if bizarre) respite from the paper I’ve been working on for 14 hours straight. I swear, I used to be smarter.
Speaking of which, who the fuck trolls a cute 70s Finnish music video thread?
28% of a metric ton
Choreography should come with a warning label.
I was wondering how long it would take you to find this…
Oh, and:
Good God Christ almighty!
Nice, Edmund.

The dancers are doing TheTime Warp.
It’s like they were synthetically created androgenous clones. And they still can’t get their timing right.
Oh. More Eurovision vids? I thought we were done with that.
“Tintin, why do you insist on outsourcing overseas when there is so much talent right in our own back yard. Why do you hate America?”
Sorry, Sirius, they’re Euro Trash, too. Denmark.
Makes me proud to be an American.
I got genuine, non-ironic amusement out of the intro. I think it’s stolen from something, isn’t it?
I had no idea that pop-klezmer existed…
Thers had better step up the game, because this contest has been pretty one sided as far as I can tell.
I love you, I wanna love you tender
I just wanna be your loving vendor

The winters are long in Finland.
No need to feel sorry for them, noen.
They have their pleasures.

Best Christmas Video EVAR.
No, I actually like this one. Very talented young geek, that man.
They put so much effort into the choreography, I fell like I practically have an obligation to like it!

My bad. Armi was the girl; Danny was the guy. Other details correct.
Don’t ask me why I know this.
The we must speculate. It would be irr…
Special bonus choreography:
Freddie and the Dreamers, “You Were Made for Me”
Extra bonus: watch the backup musicians go skipping back onto their peds after delivering the chorus backgound vocals.
Sorry! Here’s a link.
Can I just bring it to your attention that this Armi & Danny dance routine goes even better with Ozzy?

welp, looks like Darkseid finally discovered the Anti-Life Equation…
There’s always this, if it comes down to mustard gas and trenches.
I despair for our species if this is the first thing the aliens see.
Does anybody have a couple of crochet hooks? I need to remove my eyes after seeing this.
Justme, is the singer in the one piece Sarah Palin? haha.
I am aware of all internets traditions, but I do not recall seeing the title video on MTV -nor Friday Night Videos
Justme – now that you have introduced me to a piano-playing dog, my life is complete.

At the point that video is deployed, we’re down to eye-gouging and ear biting.
