playing really loud music and dancing round yr living room

this isn't really a question, cos my mind's already made up. anyway, i felt like dancing this evening, but couldn't face another late night out; so i was going to just go down the pub & get drunk, but i didn't really feel like that either. instead i'm home alone listening to old trance/techno/jungle tunes (how great is super sharp shooter??) VERY LOUDLY and dancing round the lounge like an idiot. possibly this has been brought on by too many cups of tea and not enough food, but whatever's got me in this mood is clearly a good thing that should be done more often.

so, umm, do you ever do this?

ha, this mp3's called "mayday 2001 - paul van dyk live" and it's fantastic!

― toby (tsg20), Saturday, 1 February 2003 21:48 (twenty-one years ago) link

this is my only form of excercise. Classic!

CLASSIC CLASSIC CLASSIC!!! There is nothing better in the world. Except maybe putting on music and chasing your housemate around with a broom while she fends you off with the vacuum cleaner.

classic, unless a family member catches you. then it can be embarrassing.

Total utter fucking classic. I live in a house far away from everything, so I can just blast Einsturzende Neubauten or Black Flag or Roni Size or Las Ketchup or whatever I feel like and no one complains. That's the one thing I'll miss once I move out.

Very grand. Very easily done to stuff like, say, the Smashing Pumpkins or Zwan. ;-)

Living room = dud. Basement = classic.

― Curtis Stephens, Sunday, 2 February 2003 01:36 (twenty-one years ago) link

very very classic. singing along makes it even classic-ker.

― ducklingmonster, Sunday, 2 February 2003 02:10 (twenty-one years ago) link

i haven't been able to do this for ages and i miss it :(

I find organized noise to be a distraction in my life. My concentration becomes frayed as it is competes with exterior vibrations. Certainly, my neighbor has kept me awake many a night with his stereo blaring and his horselike feet clomping as he dances. After many complaints, he persists and his poor behavior exasperates me to no end. I say NO to both as any sane mortal can.

CHECK IT, IM THE FUCKIN MAN WHOD THEY MENTION

Best to Lolly's Girls just wanna haf FUNG.

I will do this when I get home now. My housemates will hate me.

― Graham (graham), Sunday, 2 February 2003 02:55 (twenty-one years ago) link

Love it love it love it, but I am sort of afraid of doing it in this apartment in case I disturb the downstairs neighbors. I hate being courteous but I cannot help myself.

― Nicole (Nicole), Sunday, 2 February 2003 03:24 (twenty-one years ago) link

this is (usually) my life. don't feel like doing it much today, but thats to be expected.

― di smith (lucylurex), Sunday, 2 February 2003 03:40 (twenty-one years ago) link

how could it possibly be dud? i do it all the time (in my room though, the living room has no doorways) and my mom has to flash the lights to get my attention.

― Maria (Maria), Sunday, 2 February 2003 03:41 (twenty-one years ago) link

er, no doors. it has doorways.

― Maria (Maria), Sunday, 2 February 2003 03:41 (twenty-one years ago) link

Yes, very classic indeed. Though I didn't do it last night as I went to a gig for once - you young people wouldn't know them.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 2 February 2003 11:04 (twenty-one years ago) link

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.

MAT/yr answer required da length.

haha minna is that what he's saying? i've had that song for six or seven years now and i never could figure it out.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Sunday, 2 February 2003 16:19 (twenty-one years ago) link

MAT, at first i wasn't reading very carefully and thought you were saying you lost control of your anal sphincter while dancing. but...oh, okay. reeeally tired. i need to start getting better sleep. good for a laugh though.

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.

― Kim (Kim), Sunday, 2 February 2003 19:52 (twenty-one years ago) link

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.

― Celeste (Celeste), Monday, 3 February 2003 00:30 (twenty-one years ago) link

Never.

― Matt (Matt), Monday, 3 February 2003 00:34 (twenty-one years ago) link

jess yes i just got that from googling
'"check it, i'm the fuckin man" blazin'
which are the only words i could ever pick up.

haha "stimulation"

― minna (minna), Monday, 3 February 2003 00:51 (twenty-one years ago) link

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.

― Penny Lane (Penny Lane), Monday, 3 February 2003 01:38 (twenty-one years ago) link

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.

― A Nairn (moretap), Monday, 3 February 2003 03:54 (twenty-one years ago) link

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.

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Monday, 3 February 2003 11:47 (twenty-one years ago) link

CLASSIC.

― g-kit (g-kit), Monday, 3 February 2003 12:40 (twenty-one years ago) link

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.
