Favorite YouTube obscure dance or music video?

[LynzM]

I wanted to post a vid of the Foster, RI folk duo who I love, Atwater-Donnelly. Unfortunately, there is a great vid of Aubrey Atwater doing flat-footed dancing along with Kevin Doyle doing fantastic jazzy tap.

Love it.

1. watch this nutty one I saw last night

[LynzM]

8. Wow, that's.... bizarre.

I agree with the question posted below, in terms of wondering wth the origin of that is... :shrug:

[Fire Walk With Me]

2. Okay, you said "obscure".

Renaldo and the Loaf.

[LynzM]

9. I can't get all the way through that

Because I feel to bad for the kid, and watching that video makes me feel like I'm insane.

[Fire Walk With Me]

10. It's the far edge of bizarre, but no harm is meant.

[LynzM]

13. Oh, and none taken!

No worries, that's my own personal issue that I have a lot of trouble seeing people be in pain or embarrassed when I can do nothing to help or fix...

[Fire Walk With Me]

28. Then this should be a cheer-up.

Linus and Lucy.

[LynzM]

30. Aww, thanks, dude!

:) Honestly, my curiosity will get the best of me at some point when there are no foreign substances in my body (so I'm a bit less empathetic), and I'll finish that other vid, just to know.

3. Berrogüetto.- Bailador (Little Lamb - Dancer)

[LynzM]

11. Love it.

I wish that video didn't cut off! In fact, I think I like these guys in general... I just watched 3 others of their videos! (***falls into the black hole that is YouTube***) :D

PS: Just in case you might be confused, they are not singing in Portuguese, or Spanish. They sing Gallego; a totally different language from the Celtic province of Spain - Galicia.

:hi:

[LynzM]

22. Thanks, dude

I think I'll likely end up picking up a CD at some point... :)

[LynzM]

14. That vid is awesome, I just saw it first a couple weeks ago

You cannot help but grin at that kind of pure bliss!

[philosophie_en_rose]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAyi4JFJCwg

[LynzM]

24. Awesome.

Have you seen this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSoVKUVOnfQ Worth watching until you get to the kid in orange and white, he can do some truly unbelievable, bendy, time-warp weird stuff.

[Lethe]

26. oh yeah that is freakin awesome

that guy is pretty amazing.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

Neat story behind the music, too. And the first vid was a fun watch :evilgrin:

Flamenco + trance + drums... interesting.

[ghostsofgiants]

27. Not a dance video, but I suppose these guys are pretty obscure...

[LynzM]

29. Fascinating.

Totally bizarre, but he does make a good point or three. :)

34. One of the best songs ever.

Sitting in a room
surrounded by bottles
my friends have all left
but my head is on fire

It's already morning
but pieces of the night
are still stuck to my hair
what we did is fading

In the light of the day
what we say is bullshit
we live the modern way

And I guess
I'll never find out
which one of you wrote
with the greasy lipstick
Babylon must fall
Babylon must fall
Babylon must fall
On the bathroom mirror

On a stormy matress
I will lay for hours
adding up all my sins
and inventing new ones

I'm proud of my life
And I'll stand by my doom
I can't tell right from wrong
and it's never stopped me!

All the prophets have died
the books have been written
salvation in a jar
we laugh so hard, it hurts!

And I guess
I'll never find out
which one of you wrote
with the greasy lipstick
Babylon must fall
Babylon must fall
Babylon must fall
On the bathroom mirror

I like the taste of guilt
I know the taste of death
It makes want to sing
it makes me want to bite

when all the dumb fucks sleep
with their bland little brains
full of bland little dreams
we try our new curses
experiment with fear
experiment with fear
sit in each other's soul
and rehearse our downfall!

And I guess
I'll never find out
which one of you wrote
with the greasy lipstick
Babylon must fall
Babylon must fall
Babylon must fall
On the bathroom mirror
