Hammer Pants Dance (HD)

Hammer Pants Dance (HD) is a Youtube video from A&E TV where a "group of dancers wearing Hammer Pants flashmob a trendy store and surprise hipsters in skinny jeans." It's basically a promo for the upcoming A&E show, Hammertime, which "follows the life of rapper and dancer MC Hammer, his wife of more than 23 years and their family of seven. The show takes an unprecedented look behind his larger-than-life personality and into his life as a devoted husband, father and business entrepreneur".

Gimmicky, sure. But I like that they found so many talented and different-looking dancers. I mean that accountant guy gets down.

Single Ladies Single Man Beyonce Mashup

Single Ladies Single Man Beyonce Mashup is a video of Youtube's Dancer554 doing the exact choreography from Beyoncé's Single Ladies video, played concurrently with the original Single Ladies video. This video was once up on Youtube, but has since been taken down due to a copywright claim by the Warner Music Group.

The manorexic dancer is amazingly spot on. It's crazy.

The non-mashed up video of Dancer554 doing the dance solo currently has over 1,924,841 hits, which means you were probably forwarded that version a long time ago.  And when you clicked on the link you saw a Youtube notice that said, "This video or group may contain content that is inappropriate for some users, as flagged by YouTube's user community." Wtf.  While I think that is some insane ribbage and insane dancing, it doesn't really merit a parental advisory.

Anyway, the dance is cooler with the synchronized video. There is also another similar but fuzzier video that shows some suspiciously simlar Bob Fosse  choreography as an inset. That, or the abominable snowman, I'm not sure.
