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

NEW Real World Address for Complaints, Brickbats, and Donations
I Return to the Place I was Born
From my youth up I never liked the city.
I never forgot the mountains where I was born.
The world caught me and harnessed me
And drove me through dust, thirty years away from home.
Migratory birds return to the same tree.
Fish find their way back to the pools where they were hatched.
I have been over the whole country,
And I have come back at last to the garden of my childhood.
My farm is only ten acres.
The farm house has eight or nine rooms.
Elms and willows shade the back garden.
Peach trees stand by the front door.
The village is out of sight.
You can hear dogs bark in the alleys,
And cocks crow in the mulberry trees.
When you come through the gate into the court
You will find no dust or mess.
Peace and quiet live in every room.
I am content to stay here the rest of my life.
At last I have found myself.
— Tao Yuan Ming (Tao Qian) Chinese, 365-427

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
