It's okay, singing along and playing air guitar is better.

Classic, although I usually end up doing this in the kitchen as opposed to the living room. Explanation: I like to smoke (cigarettes) at the same time as dancing and we try not to smoke around the kids. Benefits: the lack of space in the kitchen has necessitated the evolution of a new style of dancing involving little or no bodily movement below the knees. Kinda like David Byrne in bits of "Stop Making Sense" - or someone who has just lost control of their anal sphincter while on the dancefloor. Is this answer too long, do you think? My first post to ILx.

welcome.

I once fell into my laundry basket (in true cartoon style - bum in, knees to chest, feet dangling out) while doing this in my bedroom.

I do it at work. It makes the housework much more fun. And my clients seem to enjoy it.
Or maybe they're laughing at me rather than with me.

Never.

total classic.

― sand.y, Monday, 3 February 2003 01:26 (twenty-one years ago) link

This is an absolute classic but I don't do it enough.

Oh yeah, I did this to the first track on Under Construction the other day. I went crazy. If anyone would have seen me it would have been sooo embarrassing. Even when I saw myself in the mirror I had to laugh at how stupid I looked.

Oh I was cooking last night and I was singing as I chopped some chillis when my mum came in and said "I didn't know you liked guys and dolls". So I said "what?" and apparently that's where the song I was singing is from, it was that "if you seeeeee a guy reach for stars in the sky etc etc". I have no idea where I learned it or how I came to be singing it in my kitchen right down to the final line at which point I really threw myself into it.

All the time. I've just been bouncing around to the Pixies. Wooden floors are fun to spin on.

― Anna (Anna), Monday, 3 February 2003 11:44 (twenty-one years ago) link

This is beyond classic. We need another term.

Wooden floors are fun to spin on.

Classic! I love doing this, especially when the folk downstairs wake me up early with their crappy easy listening shit at the weekend. I put on something really obnoxious and bounce and slide around my wooden floor!!

The image of Ned headbanging to Smashing Pumpkins (and even miming the lyrics) fills me with warmth and happiness.

― Andrew (enneff), Monday, 3 February 2003 13:10 (twenty-one years ago) link

I do this all the time, total classic.

You should have seen me when Machina came out. "Ra-DI-O!"

I was bouncing around to the Pixies this morning. (PIXIES B-sides cd)
Make Believe you're Debbie G!

VERY CLASSIC
I have wood floors too which I like to mop up with my socks.
I prefer dancing in the bedroom though.

― g-kit (g-kit), Monday, 3 February 2003 15:02 (twenty-one years ago) link

Yes. My car gets lots of song/dance action.
