Flash Dance with an Ideological Twist
Written by Jimmy
Go ahead and get this video started:
Now consider:
1. This is in the former Soviet Union where less than 25 years ago, open demonstrations were banned, American music and dance censured and communism trumpeted as the putting capitalism on the dustbin of history.
2. This is an American song celebrating wealth, capitalism and ‘bling’ – I don’t think you could do this song as flash dance in New York right now given debates on 1% vs. 99%
3. This was written by an American Jew named after the Capital of Germany.
4. As far as I know, Russians don’t breakdance.
5. It was really cold and you’re nose hairs freeze. Hard to breakdance with frozen nose hairs.
