    Target was selling Carlton T-shirts recently and I am really pissed I didn't buy one. That Carlton dance episode was amazing.

    @Sputnik_Sweetheart: That's so great! I'd heard their version, but I'd never seen the video before. The monkey, the dancing, they even did the lean! What a great tribute to MJ.

    Yay Carlton Dance! I'm infinitely jealous of anyone who can moonwalk.


    Also, the Pepsi commercial kind of broke my heart. MJ seemed so innocent then....

    Carlton dance for MJ!


    It's not unusual to love Michael Jackson

    It's not unusual to have fun with Michael Jackson

    but when I know that he's not hanging around anymore

    It's not unusual to see me cry

    Thank you! The Chipmunks were actually my first exposure to MJ (and any pop culture in general). In the Great Lipsync Competition of 1988, my brothers and I did a dramatic and thrilling lipsync of the Chipmunks singing "Bad". We even beat Team Bon Jovi.


    Granted, it was in our back yard, and our parents were the judges, so I can't cite an unbiased jury.

    I'd like to say a great big THANK YOU to Hortense for her superb coverage of this sad occasion this weekend, and giving us room to mourn.


    No Matter if We're Black or White. (Or both.)

    Yes. I am corny. I'm sure it Makes You Want To Scream.


    Kisses anyway,

    @Rooo sez BISH PLZ: I went to the Apollo on Thursday! It was pretty crazy. Some folks brought out a boom box and everyone was singing and dancing. One "eccentric" lady lead everyone in a prayer (it was a little, uh, strange.) As you might imagine, it was a funny collection of people.


    Very sad, though. I was a really really big Michael fan and I'm actually quite upset about his passing.

    I have no reason to post this vid other than the fact that I love it. I love the breakdancing in the beginning. How E. Badu cleverly summed up her relationship with hip-hop (and pays homage to the originators). And how they created a video that accurately depicted the many changes hip-hop has gone through in the past 3+ decades. From breakdancing to rapping to d-jaying.

    My son is a genius at doing The Worm.


    The sight of him doing it across a stage in Jamaica at age 6 - pure gold. My would ribs would shatter like cheap glass if I tried it.

    Duuuude. Is it Carlton day today for me or what? I was at Target and almost bought the husband a Carlton T-shirt, but it was a truly heinous shade of yellow. And then I come home to MORE CARLTON!!


    Seriously, if he wore this color around me, I'd go blind:

    Wow! Who knew "Der Kommisar" was good for breakin' and poppin'?!?! Alfonso Ribeiro knew, that's who!


    I recall my only dance move to that song was the 'lightning-strike full-body-shockwave'. The 'caterpillar' was waaaay cooler.

    @Plum-Pie: I will never forget Charlie Brookers review of Yo Gabba Gabba. LOL.
    "Watching Yo Gabba Gabba is a bit like having a dose of sugar amphetaminse shot straight into your eyes. The kingdom of Yo Gabba Gabba is overseen by a mad DJ who stole on of Jamiroquai's hats. Including friends such as cycloptic penis with a case of genital warts."

    I love that YGG has come up more than once on this post. If you go to You Tube and search for "Kids Watching Yo Gabba Gabba" the results are hilarious. That show has some strange effect on children, mine included.

    Also, did I dream this, but did breakdancing enjoy some sort of comeback in the mid-nineties or something? Because I seem to remember a few select douchetards at my high school "breaking" on flattened cardboard boxes, but I was too busy listening to Bikini Kill and putting baby barrettes in my hair to know if it was just them or not.

    @Phyllis Nefler: I don't think that it ever really went away; at least not in some communities. There was a point when it went pretty mainstream, which may be when you witnessed the "douchetards" at your school doing it.


    The kids I knew, never really stopped.
