Fun story involving this song:
Konstantine @konstantine
Just felt like sharing this song. Not sure why.

Rumor has it Dani is one of the backup dancers in the video.

It was my first year in college. I'd made some friends, and annoyed some other people (no big surprise on that point).

Homecoming came around. I marched at half-time and then planned to kick back that evening. I had no plans to go to the dance.

Out of nowhere, I got a knock on my dorm room door.
It was one of the guys that I had annoyed.

It seems he had found out the hot girl was staying home, so had asked her out. She answered that she'd been going to hang out with the girl across the hall, and she wasn't going to go unless he could find a date for her as well. (In retrospect, I wonder if it wasn't an attempt to politely decline.)

Eventually, he found someone who didn't already have a date -- me. Even though I wasn't really interested in the girl or the dance, I agreed.

A half hour later, after a rushed shower, shave, and dress-up, the four of us were headed toward the door. Along the way, we ran into a friend of my date popping in for a visit from another college.

I could tell there was a tinge of jealousy present, which I later found out was because this girl rarely met guys taller than her and thought it was wasted on her very short friend (my date).

So after a brief chat (we were already running late), we left for the dance, during which this song (which was still enjoying popularity) played.

The four of us were on the dance floor and the other guy turns to me and convinced me to do the sideways shuffle. After which, he says, "You're OK, Ed."

And that's how we became friends.
