Best song to listen to while dancing in front of your mirror?
I'm going to go with "Heard It Through the Grapevine" by Gladys Knight and the Pips.

Now, because I believe in CHOICE, I'm not going to limit you to ten choices or whatever, you just do it the old-fashioned way and write your choice into the subject line there. Yes, it's a little more work than the one-click method, but nothing good ever comes easy, does it?

ps. Who laughed at the "Just Bizarre" section in the new Hate Mailbag until tears ran down their face and they got in trouble at work?

1. Easy - Dancing With Myself, Billy Idol!
:D

Oh, I'm laughing at the office for another reason. I'm trading Ralph Wiggum quotes with a friend of mine in DC. ;-)

2. Dead Kennedy's "Too drunk to F***"
Is the all time greatest narcisistic dancing song ever.

And the WHOLE hate mailbag put me into coffee sputtering spasms of hilarity. Luckily I work alone.

an "I'm so ashamed that I love to dance to this song in front of my mirror" party. :)

Isn't that the best song for doing something else (not dancing in front of the mirror) by yourself?

37. Nope - that was Tina. At least in a film clip I saw.
Midnight Train to Georgia is a beautiful song, but not to dance in front of the mirror to. Unless you're having a "Only The Lonely" night. Sigh...

COME ON!! And the train "hoo hoo!" arm motion? You're crazy. That's an AWESOME mirror song. :)

I dunno - I just like faster songs to dance to. It's a GREAT song, though.

38. I completely, totally disagree with that.
Edited on Fri Oct-17-03 03:31 PM by GumboYaYa
The correct choice is without question Nutbush City Limits. :)

<ON EDIT> Or maybe "River Deep, Mountain High."

32. Ainsley Hayes was dancing to "Blame it on the Bassanova"
on the West Wing. I'm a guy we don't generaly dance in front of the mirror we act like we are playing kick ass guitar solos on a tennis racket.

44. Hakuna Matata
Not that I ever have, but I think it'd be a good choice.

"I'm Too Sexy" would seem another suitable choice - undoubtedly autobiographical in my case. :D

I have to say that I LOVE the version of "Heard It Through the Grapevine" by Gladys Knight and the Pips...actually, I love a lot of the mirror-dancing music that's been mentioned here.

Oh and, of course, a hunka hunka burnin' love...




Hey, NSMA, am I still on an NSMA vigil? 'cos I don't see you yet...
