Let's try another version:

Arguably off topic this one, but a bit of fun nevertheless. Dancing to complete silence......

(Beadyman himself is quite interesting, he uses no instruments, no samples, just his own voice and some rather trick electronics. He is also the guy who coined the phrase "Eat Sleep Rave Repeat".)

Thanks. Maybe the topic has been too constrained. Dance and Music: post away!

Oh dear... I have just noticed that I typo'd Beardyman's name as "Beadyman". I am truly shamefaced ..... Beadyman is someone else entirely and cannot dance at all.

 

Back on topic (almost)

And by contrast. A song that suggests that rather than going out to have a fight, why not go out and have a dance instead?

 

Wise lyrics I think.

My apologies for interrupting the music, but I feel this recent scientific discovery is relevant to this thread.

 

Scientists have discovered that low bass makes you dance more. How much more? 11.8% apparently.

 

This is clearly a very important discovery, and I am glad to see scientists have taken a break from other less interesting stuff, like sending rockets to Mars, building quantum computers and designing nuclear fusion reactors, to do some proper science.

I wonder if Meghan Trainor already knew about this, or maybe she has lots of scientist friends?
