The “Land of a Thousand Dances” was an actual region of the United States, long before pilgrim days, where a “super-tribe” of Native Americans combined their respective dances into one “catalog” for use among the sister clans. The name of the “super-tribe” was the “I-saya-naa-na-na-na-naa-na-na-na-naa-na-na-na-na-na-naa-na-na-na-naaah” tribe. ---

Wilson Pickett knew every single one of those 1,000 dances, and once did them all in a marathon four day dance-a-thon. However, he lost to Hoopy Jones, who only did 200 of the dances, but did them while hula hooping. Pickett later sued, claiming the hula hoop should not have been allowed.
