  • jasonsalas, on 03/07/2008, -2/+4the robocop, the prep and the roger rabbit were pretty addictive, too.
    • fluidfoundation, on 03/07/2008, -1/+3Was I the only one that did the Bartman?
    • tkotam, on 03/07/2008, -0/+1don't beat the hell out of me, but isn't limbo from jamaica and not trinidad?? this is a question.. :-)
    • nikkesen, on 03/07/2008, -0/+1Those of us old enough to remember this crap surely remember The Village People and "It's Fun to Stay at the YMCA".
      • dragon76, on 03/07/2008, -0/+1You know, it;s the biggest joke that gays have ever played on straight people. I always laugh every time I see 40 year old straight people dancing to a song about having sex at a bath house.
  • BuzzDiggity, on 03/07/2008, -4/+13i do the macarena every morning while brushing my teeth
    • bournshell, on 03/07/2008, -0/+1i bet... the toothpaste is all over the floor...
      • jstohler, on 03/07/2008, -0/+2The chicks in the video make every grueling note worth sitting through.
  • 0crabby0, on 03/07/2008, -4/+2Wha? No Cabbage Patch?
  • orlando37, on 03/07/2008, -11/+3Hey whats wrong with the electric slide. I love when I go to a wedding and there are people there that know how to do it. Great group dance.
    • purple8, on 03/07/2008, -0/+8If I ever get married, I hope there is no electric slide or chicken dance. Especially if I've been drinking.
      • psykiv, on 03/07/2008, -3/+2"if I ever get married" You're on digg. This one is just too easy.
        • purple8, on 03/07/2008, -2/+0Ow. I don't want to be the old crazy cat lady. Let me have my fantasy.
  • vsujohn2, on 03/07/2008, -3/+43ANY of the most recent ones. God damn Soulja boy and snap-rap ***** turns me off to dancing entirely.
    • xsquirrel378x, on 03/07/2008, -0/+3what about that french techtonik dance? i guess i give them credit for trying something kind of new anyways

  • hydroplane, on 03/07/2008, -1/+14Remember the Batusi? Why doesn’t Batman dance anymore?
  • xsquirrel378x, on 03/07/2008, -4/+4dancing got really lazy. in the 50's dancing was a workout, and now we have the shoulder lean
    • willynilly, on 03/07/2008, -4/+4You mean the '50s?

      See, the apostrophe comes BEFORE the "50", to take the place of the missing "19".
      • FreeDerry, on 03/07/2008, -0/+4RUN IT IS ZE GRAMMAR NAZIS.
      • CanadaMan87, on 03/07/2008, -0/+1Yes, plus if you're pluralizing a number, you don't put an apostrophe before the "s" anyways. Most people don't seem to realize this.
      • kajoob, on 03/07/2008, -0/+3Thank you for your Grammar Nazi services. I would have never have figured out what he meant.
  • br0wnstar, on 03/07/2008, -0/+63SUPAMAN DAT HOE! YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU....


    ....sigh. It's happening all around us, right now. It's a goddamn rap macarena.
    • sleeknerve, on 03/07/2008, -1/+10YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
    • acitcratnA, on 03/07/2008, -0/+3Hey, they found out who killed Soulja Boy...

  • masterm1nd, on 03/07/2008, -0/+5How about a list of dance crazes that weren't ridiculous.
    • Gizza, on 03/07/2008, -0/+4That would probably consist of the thriller and not much else.
  • Landeyda, on 03/07/2008, -0/+3Oh god, the Electric Slide. That dance was everywhere in the 80s and early 90s.
    • br0wnstar, on 03/07/2008, -0/+6And you had to walk uphill in the snow to get to the nightclubs, and back home.
    • SuperVepr308, on 03/07/2008, -0/+0Sadly, it survives to this day at many parties...
  • xandifenn, on 03/07/2008, -0/+5I can't believe I spent the 2 minutes putting this playlist together for those dances, but here it is

  • FireStrife, on 03/07/2008, -1/+5At least the hustle isnt a crazy line dance.
    • BTConan, on 03/07/2008, -0/+1For some reason every time I hear that "Do the hustle" music, I picture Andy Richter doing the hustle. Or is it one of his identical quintuplet brothers? I can never remember.
    • raiden431, on 03/07/2008, -0/+1Fry: "I will now perform my people's native dance."
      (Fry dances the Hustle)
      Leela: "It says here that this part of the hustle implores the gods to grant a favor, usually a Trans Am."

    Have fun!!
    • bxblox, on 03/07/2008, -0/+1wtf. where did this jump style thing come from, ive never heard of it before
    • makkaveli19, on 03/07/2008, -1/+3meh, jumpstlye isn't half bad
    • wiihuck, on 03/07/2008, -0/+1i lost weight just watching that jumpstyle
    • fantasyflamz, on 03/07/2008, -0/+1I think jumpstyle actually looks like a lot of fun
  • apersaud, on 03/07/2008, -0/+1Salsa dancing rocks and the girls are hot: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuxPf2w7Evk
  • sewerraccoon, on 03/07/2008, -1/+0Dugg for the macarena. For it's gratuitous use of hot asses and funny business men singing a funny song
  • DomZy, on 03/07/2008, -0/+4This is something new. The casper slide part 2. Featuring the platinium band, and this time we're gonna get funky!
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qhnQDbYZAU
    Everybody clap your hands! Take it back now y'all! One hop this time! Right foot let's stomp! Left foot let's stomp! Now it's time to get funky!
  • MackPrime, on 03/07/2008, -0/+1why doesn't anyone ever do the busdriver?
    because it's not really a dance, JD.
  • theclashrocker, on 03/07/2008, -0/+5Chicken Dance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UV3kRV46Zs
    • TrystTempleton, on 03/07/2008, -0/+1ugh. played at every high school and wedding dance across the nation.. and then the song gets stuck in your head for WAY too long. It's just all kinds of bad.
      • theclashrocker, on 03/14/2008, -0/+0Yeah, they played it all the time at my high school. Couldn't escape it.
  • VaporBro, on 03/07/2008, -0/+6I'M MAD AS HELL AND I'M NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE!
  • donkeySays, on 03/07/2008, -2/+1Can we have something from Bollywood?
  • frogman54, on 03/07/2008, -0/+5I think this blogger just copied a wedding DJ's playlist.
  • cybernetic798, on 03/07/2008, -0/+2Oh man the macarena...dugg!
  • r3bol, on 03/07/2008, -0/+1Did someone forget about the birdie song?
  • Andyli1004, on 03/07/2008, -4/+1One hop this time! Right foot let's stomp! Left foot let's stomp. Internet is a good place to share information and meet friends. I recently found
    a nice web site called pubspa. where you can meet friends who have same interest in beauty care, massage, wellness and spa treatment. You can also share blog, video, game, photos, etc with people from all over the world. Unlike other online dating sites where you have to pay membership fee, this site is totally free. I already made several interesting friends there.
  • gridbread, on 03/07/2008, -0/+1The Macarena ***** me off like no other, dugg.
  • cvrefugee, on 03/07/2008, -0/+4What about the dance where I put my hand up on your hip, when I dip, you dip, we dip?
  • Ludwig, on 03/07/2008, -0/+1So what does it mean if the two dances I can actually do are the Running Man and the Knee/ankle Pump?
  • bxblox, on 03/07/2008, -0/+2The lambada is out of style but its out of place on this list. There's plenty of more ridiculous dances.
  • slingshot79, on 03/07/2008, -0/+1I admit those are pretty ridiculous but don't forget the fine dances we have here in western Europe currently. To be more specific in Belgium, Holland and France.
    About a decade ago we had a style called "jumpen" which we figured would not be around for long, but we seem to be proven wrong by the latest adaptation of the style called "jumpstyle". Check here for a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyAvaLsLFl8

    And more recent, a style that has been coming out of France and that has found its way to more and more youth here in Belgium as well, Tecktonic. This style is actually a mix of Jumpstyle coming out of Belgium/Holland and the House from France. It has a big following in both France and Belgium and there are actually Tecktonic battles all over the country where people show their skills ;)
    Tecktonic video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNdvAe78TFM&feature ...
  • kaythecraven, on 03/07/2008, -0/+1Most atrocious dance video ever: http://youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0
    • IHaveIssues, on 03/07/2008, -0/+1I don't think Rick Astley had a dance craze. You may have made a mistake there. That "never gonna give you up" video you posted does seem popular though.
    • Hangly, on 03/07/2008, -0/+1If someone could explain the Rick Astley meme to me I would be grateful. Is it because of that graph?
      • Aidje, on 03/07/2008, -0/+1The graph was spawned by the existence of the meme. The meme is basically just to post a YouTube link to that video while attempting to convince people that it's actually a relevant video. If you click the link, you're allegedly obligated to watch the entire video. The sole purpose of participating in this meme is to annoy others and make them hate you.
        This article actually seems somewhat informative: http://www.encyclopediadramatica.com/Rickroll
  • Xondar, on 03/07/2008, -1/+1Hermes Conrad would bury this list. Mainly because he doesn't think the limbo is lame.
  • Swampthing, on 03/07/2008, -0/+2Every new generation laughs at the generation before. Always. In about 15 years people will be laughing their asses off at excessively long t-shirts and crooked baseball caps. Believe it. :)
    • DeFex, on 03/07/2008, -0/+2dont forget pants that make it look like you just took a big dump in them and make it hard to run from the cops.
  • Hangly, on 03/07/2008, -0/+2I have to disagree. The Hustle looks awesome.
    • Nick519, on 03/07/2008, -0/+1i agree -- at least the hustle took actual rhythm and dancing skill, and moving in tandem with your partner.
  • elatirio, on 03/07/2008, -0/+2Las-Ketchup-Asereje
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XubVpeq4E20
    • atomicwedgie, on 03/07/2008, -0/+1Actually, I always liked the Ketchup song... I know, I am a sick bastard. :(
  • Flangeman, on 03/07/2008, -0/+0You forgot this weird.... "jump dancing". Or as I like to call it, "leg flailing".
    http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=93t6i0jBxjQ
    It's kinda like skanking, only 10x worse.
  • lamiaconfitor, on 03/07/2008, -0/+1Buried for lack of Solja Boy.
  • EetFuk, on 03/07/2008, -4/+0Dancing is stupid.
  • nexus37, on 03/07/2008, -0/+1How about The Butt and the Pogo? Popular.
  • Raytrace, on 03/07/2008, -0/+1Too bad the chemical brothers' salmon dance didn't catch on: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJEacTZmd7I
