KAOS was where it’s at, baby! 🆒
Kids today can’t dance properly because they’re way too uptight to let it all hang out! :mad:

I really wish I could find that _Dragnet_ party music. I’ve always wanted to share it.

DAMMIT! Now I’ve got _this_ in my head (which has nothing to do with _Get Smart_):
♫ _I’m a little tea pot, short and stout
Here is my handle, here is my spout
When I get all steamed up, here me shout
**SOCK IT TO ME, BABY! LET IT ALL HANG OUT!** _ ♫

In the meantime, help yourself to some classics from [Leave It to Beaver](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFsZO4N0DEg)

and [The Girl from U.N.C.L.E](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzFzIss8pmM)

_Riot on Sunset Strip_ (1967) - Not sure who did the music for Mimsy Farmer’s freak-out, but it’s mighty fine:

You realize you can play that clip with almost any of the music from _Flashdance_ and it will work 😃
