I’m not much of a club goer or a music video watcher for that matter. “Reach back, grab your ankle, and pump” sounds like directions for a porno. I have never seen that. I’ve heard of “drop it like its’ hot” in which you quickly squat down to the floor, slap it (the floor), and come up slowly while sticking your butt in the air, but not your thing. I’m interested now.
Yep, for DiGiorno’s pizza. My husband went to high school and did drama club with that nerdy dude and hangs his head in shame every time we see Brian being such a dork. Then we realize he’s being paid pretty well for being such a dork, and have to congratulate him for that!
I don’t think I’ve ever seen it as a serious move. If I was to WAG, I’d opine that it looks awfully Saturday Night Live inspired, but I don’t watch it enough to know for sure.
I saw it used a number of times in a touring production of the critically acclaimed musical Mamma Mia. The dudes who used this move actually made it look pretty darned good.
