The Christopher Waltz was a dance created for the Queen of Spain by the court jester in honor of Christopher Columbus. After the Queen injured herself while attempting to execute the splits that follows the triple axel, the dance was banned and the jester was keelhauled on board the Pinta. “Santa Maria!” cried the jester. “I never thought she’d actually try it! I mean, look at that old cow! AAAAUUUGGGH!” ---

The Jester actually survived the keel hauling. Once he was back on the deck, battered and broken, he accidentally created a new dance. First he limp to the side like his leg was broken Shakin’ and twitchin’ kinda like he was smokin’ Crazy wack funky People said ya look like M.C. Hammer on crack, Humpty! That’s all right ‘cause his body’s in motion It’s supposed to look like a fit or a convulsion Anyone can play this game This is his dance, y’all, Humpty Hump’s his name No two people will do it the same Ya got it down when ya appear to be in pain Humpin’, funkin’, jumpin’, jig around, shakin’ ya rump, and when the dude a chump pump points a finger like a stump tell him step off, he’s doin’ the Hump. ---

Addendum: Calling the record “[Bitchy Woman](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3v98CPXNiSk)” would have seriously altered the tone. And probably sparked a lawsuit from those money-grubbing Eagles. ---
