That's The Way Uh-Huh, Uh-Huh...

you know what this world needs? more dancing. we need to be dancing like all the time.
i have mental images of the age of the hippies and you know what they did a lot of? dancing. and they seemed pretty darned happy. even though their nation was at war, there they were, with flowers around their heads and outfits that flattered absolutely no one, dancing dancing dancing! and even though they hated war and death and stuff they would dance around, make the peace sign and say thing like - make love, not war. all calm like. some people say it was all the drugs they were allegedly doing but i don't believe that. it was the dancing.

i tell you this when i wake up in the morning and oscar and el editor get me dancing and thinking it makes me a perkier person. i don't even feel like knocking that guy, pushing me around on the train, in the head. and when i am dragging and i go to my senegalese sabar class it doesn't even matter that my teacher tells me that he can tell i am not senegalese when i start to move because i'm flashing the peace sign and i am approachable again.

i say that if there were more dancing, there would be less fighting - unless they were dance fighting like in the michael jackson beat it video. even if your mother told you you could never be a solid gold dancer - dance your heart out. and if someone tries to step into your space and disturb your groove, bop them on the head if you have to. because they should be dancing!
