It’s summer. It’s Friday. Like it or love it, Donald Trump is still the President. Might as well dance.

The shattered water made a misty din.
Great waves looked over others coming in,
And thought of doing something to the shore
That water never did to land before.
The clouds were low and hairy in the skies,
Like locks blown forward in the gleam of eyes.
You could not tell, and yet it looked as if
The shore was lucky in being backed by cliff,
The cliff in being backed by continent;
It looked as if a night of dark intent
Was coming, and not only a night, an age.
Someone had better be prepared for rage.
There would be more than ocean-water broken
Before God’s last Put out the light was spoken.
— Robert Frost
His soul stretched tight across the skies
That fade behind a city block,
Or trampled by insistent feet
At four and five and six o’clock;
And short square fingers stuffing pipes,
And evening newspapers, and eyes
Assured of certain certainties,
The conscience of a blackened street
Impatient to assume the world.
I am moved by fancies that are curled
Around these images, and cling:
The notion of some infinitely gentle
Infinitely suffering thing.
Wipe your hand across your mouth, and laugh;
The worlds revolve like ancient women
Gathering fuel in vacant lots.
— Eliot
I CELEBRATE myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.
I loafe and invite my soul,
I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass.
My tongue, every atom of my blood, form’d from this soil, this
air,
Born here of parents born here from parents the same, and their
parents the same,
I, now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin,
Hoping to cease not till death.
— Walt Whitman

Excellent!
People, in general, used to have class.
Debbie and Donald are my favorite paring.
If my Mrs. and I could dance 💃🏻 🕺🏻 like that, we’d be AWESOME 👏!
We keep working on it, if just to make ourselves smile. 🙂 I keep trying and if only we could move like the couples in the clips.
Thanks for the post 👍🏻
A.D. is the first site I visit early each morning with my first cup and surprises like that vid are part of the reason I attend this class first. Very enjoyable and pleasing and I couldn’t help but think that even the Lord smiles at this.
I come from a dancer family, sister, wife, daughter. When I first saw this video a few years ago, I thought to myself, ‘What a Labor of Love’. Whoever put this together was truly inspired and talented, down to getting the old clips of these actors to appear to be matching the Lyrics of the modern song in lip sync. Whoever did it, I wish they would do more.
Oh, thank you. That was extremely wonderful!!!!!!!
That was marvellous, and bittersweet.
It reminds me of the culture we once had, for one brief shining moment in time.
my face hurts from smiling so broadly-thank you
Makes me want to gyrate like a caffeinated schnauzer.
Here’s a Side B — Hottest actresses of the Sixties dancing to “Green Onions”. Not quite as good as the Main Attraction but still mesmerizing. The theme seems to revolve around that awesome moment when the two sexes are attempting to make that life changing connection
But then at 1:15, Ann Margaret Olsen shows up in skintight pants and blows the whole theme to hell; but who cares. It’s Ann Margret — the women was a Cat 5 estrogen tornado!!

Oops, pushed submit before I had entered my name
BTW, check out the outro with Raquel Welch. It looks like she’s actually dancing to Green Onions
Here’s another good one: Rita Hayworth dancing to ‘Stayin Alive’: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mz3CPzdCDws
