SNL ‘Jeopardy’ with Will Ferrell. 🤣 Terd Ferguson and Sean Connery! A few years ago, watching a school teache (A. Maceo Smith New Tech) leading students to ‘Uptown Funk’. Snowball the Dancing Cockatoo (including a Tribute to Michael Jackson). Some people studied him and said he was actually dancing to the beat on his own, not just copying his owner’s moves. Any number of dance compilations to one song - Rita Hayworth, or Fred Astaire, or clips from black and white sit-coms. And Christopher Walken. Very uplifting. ---
