CAMPY DANCE VIDEOS - JMQ NO. 3
Hi everyone, I found this article today...
Campy dance videos
There are certain artists -- like Missy Elliott or Justin Timberlake -- who put out videos knowing the public expects to see the finest choreography around. Then there are other artists who occasionally catch the viewing public off guard with their surprisingly well-crafted, campy dance numbers. Here are a few of the wackiest and most unexpected:
1) "Weapon of Choice" -- Fatboy Slim: This video took the ever-wacky Christopher Walken and displayed his classically trained, Broadway-dancing skills to the world.
2) "It's Oh So Quiet" -- Bjork: Between dancing in a tire shop, dancing with mailboxes and dancing in the street with umbrellas and khakis, this video is part Gap commercial, part acid trip.
3) "Virtual Insanity" -- Jamiroquai: The whole floor moves like a treadmill, so Jason Kay got to invent new moves while fighting to stay standing.
4) "A Million Ways" -- OK Go: Say what you will about their looks -- these four rock geeks have synchronized moves that would make any boy band jealous.
5) "True Faith" -- New Order: The video begins with two men in Styrofoam tubing, bitch-slapping each other to the beat. What more could I ask for?

Great, thanks for sharing Samantha 
It seems like the Virtual video is in every ranking now! I still think that 'Space Cowboy' and 'Canned Heat' should have the same destiny.
Mmm... If you think about it, 'Canned Heat' is quite similar to 'Weapon Of Choice', they both start and end the video in the same way, when in the middle they dance in every room (JK in that house, Walken in the hotel).
Coincidence?

Good choice of vids, thanks for the info Sam 
Being interested in dancing, I must say I DO love the Fatboy Slim video...I would love to see Christopher Walken dance to a JQ tune one day!

Well, I got to say that I love Weapon of choice, that's one of my most favorite videos... <BTW had anyone seen video "Days go by" by Dirty Vegas? that's my another favorite >
I really like this list, especially first 3 positions It's all so quiet is a really difficult video to dance, in Polish tv show some choreographer was teaching a group of young people this choreography and it was really hard for them...
And I don't say ath about Virtual 'cos we just love it... Can't stop love it...

LONG LIVE VIRTUAL INSANITY.
