Crazy Dancer

I am jiggling on that stage. The egoless strut. The humorous tap. The spectacular trip. Fall over, over. and Over again. Get up, find a ballroom Dancer. Find a hand holding Partner. Play "Spice Up Your Life". Spice Girls, listen to the bridge. tells you to Salsa. Watch that scene. Billy Elliot, With the pianist. Dancing Billy. He loves it. Just do it, you love it too. Cheesy pop, You don't need to embellish yourself. No grace notes. No flat 7th. You don't need to sugarcoat, the truth. Let loose to riddims. live on the dancefloor. Feel the skank, and the reggae. Feel the triplets. Rocksteady your way. Dancehall to sounds. Bounce and echo. Side to side. Left to right. And we'll slow it right down. The ballad starts. Your beautiful structure on the left of your head, the one called the ear. The that ear controls aural empathy. Let love be the choreographer to your moves, Play the concept album, your heart. Place it onto the record player and watch it spin Start the track track with an International groove. End. Replay.

Notes

There are a lot of pop culture and music reference here.

Flat 7: A musical interval, this can make melodies or chords bluesy or "sexy" depending on how it is used.

Grace note: Passing notes used in music to add flavor, its like a musical sprinkling of pepper or parsley.

Riddim:

Triplets: Very commonly used in carribean jamaican music, dancehall, reggae, swing, gypsy jazz.

Skank: The backbeat in reggae music.
