Dance Monkey, Dance

Everyone knows I love it when my friends can dance and sing and make asses of themselves for entertainment. When I was managing back in college I had one employee who never ceased to entertain me. We both had the same love for the David Bowie Labyrinth and the one song in the movie called Dance Magic Dance. We ended up downloading it and playing it at Gatsbys.

My dancing friend we shall call Dungeonmaster for his love of World of Warcraft as well, decided to get up and make a dance to the song. He used the moves from the movie and played some of the other ones out. It was entertaining and always made the staff laugh. He at one point got on the bar and did the dance and did the splits as well. He decided to continue to do this dance over and over drunkenly. It never ceased to amaze me as his skills were out of this world.

At one of the flip cup tournaments (after Gatsby's kicked Sidetracks ass in softball, sorry Woody but we rock)we turned the song on over the loudspeaker and Dungeonmaster made his debut for everyone else. He took over the whole outside area and we got it all on video. His moves became famous in the carbondale area and everyone fell in love with his moves. This happened a couple years ago and has continued as a tradition every time i go down south. I make sure the bar has it ready to play when I arrive without poor Dundeonmaster's knowledge. I am not the only one who finds it amusing, I am just the one who brings it up every time. At one point, he made a comment that I will never forget. He stated."I am not a monkey you can't just make me dance when you want me to." Oh my darling how you are mistaken because at one of the Christmas parties I got it all on tape and let me tell you, I make you dance when I want on my computer. I will try to figure out how to load this video up on here because it is worth it but I am technologically stupid and don't know how to do this!

I can't wait to go down there in a month and visit my old haunt and walk in with the song on my Ipod ready to broadcast for the whole bar. Dungeonmaster you will dance, you sill little monkey you! Don't forget who bought you your world of warcraft secrets book..this girl. I felt I owed it to him since I probably ruined his life for a little while!!
