Lily Allen Yep, it’s months maybe even years now (or so it feels), of Lily Allen listening, but you know what?
It doesn’t stop feeling awesome. It’s ALRIGHT STILL!!!
(clever aint i? using her own album title: Alright, Still )
If you were lucky and smart enough to buy the kid’s album the first time around, and then smart again enough to by the re release(or rather US version)–you got some pretty sweet bonus tracks.
One of which I can’t get enough of blaring and sharing.
Put on your best Patty Duke Dance moves, roll up those tight pants and shake to Mark Ronson’s remix.
It feels like classic Motown via girl group hits drive. There’s horns theirs toe tapping drumbeats. Turn it up and shake it!
Love is any of a number of emotions and experiences related to a sense of strong affection or profound oneness.[1] Depending on context, love can have a wide variety of intended meanings. Romantic love is seen as a deep, ineffablefeeling of intense and tender attraction shared in passionate or intimate attraction and intimateinterpersonal and sexual relationships.[2] Love can also be conceived of as Platonic love,[3]religious love,[4]familial love, and, more casually, great affection for anything considered strongly pleasurable, desirable, or preferred, including activities and foods.[5][2] This diverse range of meanings in the singular word love is often contrasted with the plurality of Greek words for love, reflecting the concept’s depth, versatility, and complexity.
Okay, that’s defining it. At least according to the vast and ever powerful knowledge that is Wikipedia. But what if defining love is the only thing we’re looking for?
What if we need to express it? How do we go about switching that on?
And more importantly, how do we go about expressing that love and not coming off as a complete corn ass or phony lameo?
Is simply saying it enough? If you look around, the word “love” is a bit eh…diluted, soft and cheapened, no?
How do we fix it and make it hard?
Should you decide to take the advice of soon to be celebrities instead of usetobrities, then you take heed of an electro soul group and you…
SCREAM it people.
Maybe not to the extent of ruining sofa cushions, one’s reputation and career(and then again, maybe yeah, go for it).
But feel it, and scream people–it’s all right, Unklejam said so.
I didn’t mean to go on a ramble up there (when do I ever?), but the weekend is here and I thought I’d give a little love to your feets and booty. No, no that kinda love (geeze).
The scream spirit has gotten to me and I had to share. Join me in the love that is volume upping and grooving.
If this song doesn’t make you fall in love, love the love, or shake whatcha mamma gave ya, well then you’re obviously a rhythmless,heartless or dead s.o.b. (and really, that’s no excuse because even zombies know how to get down).
Either way, I don’t wanna hang out with you.
But yeah, this song RULES all kinds of everything. I love it so much, “I wanna take behind a junior high and get it pregnant.”
Okay Unklejam’s class is in.
You’re in for, “a James Brown-down-the-disco,” shout of electro funkiness. Bringing cool to the old skool:
And if a YouTube video isn’t doing it for you, you can also download the remix track (which is the one that I wanna take to the school)right here:
Because showing love is more than a flash, it’s mp3′s too.
“There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep yourself open and aware to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. … No artist is pleased. [There is] no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others“‘
Oh that unrest, that divine dissatisfaction. Is that what really propels creativity and expression? Is that the force that occurs and inspires? Where do we turn or look to for it?
Yes, YOUTUBE, you know the page, you love it you loathe it; you spend a great deal of time on it. And why?
Because it moves, it is the voice of millions, it’s bad and it’s good, it triggers something, but most of all because by YouTube’s serendipitous majesty, it gives you,” Hamster Dance.”
“A video response to a student in Mexico who sent me a video about a sexy rave.”
Yep, that’s its description.
It hardly serves it any justice, but why should it?
A picture says a thousand words, and a YouTube video, well shoot, you get the picture! (Plus, if there is no copyright infringement, well…yeah you know the rest)
The picture this YouTube paints is… well “the only word for this is trans-plendid. It’s trans-plendid.” It wouldn’t surprise me one bit if its boogies and shimmies tear a new one on dance. Sure rayroy3′s moves are smooth and inspiring, but this young artist shakes it harder than any other great innovators of dance ever could.
Martha Graham, Gregory Hines (dare I say, Travolta?) can only dream to touch the hem of his leotard.
For, and I say this Flatley, rayroy3 is truly a LORD of Dance.
There is so much zeal, and passion, not to mention the charisma and manliness of mister sexy and jazz himself, Bob Fosse.
Forget the pigeon toeness, just swoon, this man is all “steam heat” in cut off jeans. Ah,you can practically smell the tobacco and icy hot.
Now, we live and breath, do your computer and livelihood a favor and enjoy, “Hamster Dance”:
Live long and prosper,

P.S.
If anyone can find me said Mexican Dance Rave video, I’d really appreciate that. I want to know what inspiration looks like. It could very well be the Muse I’ve been looking for.
