Over at the Channel 5 website they have posted a poll to see which dance Mayor Mick should perform when he appears on the Ellen show on January 17th. The dance choices are:
- Cabbage Patch
- Macarena
- Soulja Boy
- Electric Slide
- Lawnmower
- Other
If you get a chance, go vote. Me? I am really hoping he’ll do the Centipede or Worm, so I’m voting ‘other.’ However, I am kind of worried he ‘ll just dance like some of his old Channel 5 co-workers did in the classic video above. Which actually makes me wonder what types of hard core drugs they were doing at Channel 5 in the late 1980s…and where exactly I can get some. Seriously, the only thing that could make the video any more better (i.e. unintentionally funny) is if the mayor himself made a quick cameo in the background with the guys wearing tuxedos.
Also, if you work at Channel 5 and are reading this–which you probably are–we officially demand a prompt remake of this promo spot. Imagine how cool it would be to see Mark Rodgers dancing in a red sweater. Rick Mitchell lip syncing “Come on ever guy.” And Maggie Carlo and Jessica Schambach grinding away on top a police car while swinging around glow sticks. It would be great! Get it done!
p.s.- Mayor Mick is going on the Ellen show to promote the whole “Oklahoma City is going to lose 1,000,000 pounds” thing. Good luck on that one.
Is clapping your hands while gyrating your hips, dancing? Something’s Happening on 5Alive. And its called “Getting shit-faced and dancing”. Maybe they caught syphilis and it is effecting there brains. Was this the Cosby sweater era? And is that Dean the “Dream” Belvins at :09? I hope Major Micky does not do the Soulja Boi dance. The song and dance sucks major donkey d***. How about he does “throwing the dice” or maybe the “sprinkler”. If you don’t know the sprinkler, you grab the left side your neck with your left hand and fully extend your right arm closed fisted. or vise versa. And pump your left elbow towards your right arm but don’t touch it. At the same time pump your right arm towards your left elbow. Move your hips to the left not your legs. Then when you reach your hip limit. Reverse everything. Applied as needed.
I was actually in one of those promos. Some “selected” students from my high school and a couple of others were joined by the “5 Alive” news team at a south OKC park (I know, I know. It was Dancing in the STREETS, not park. I don’t think they noticed). Good times, good times.
Thanks, you just burned my retinas.
I think Mayor Mick should grind her. Maybe he can get her to turn from her lebanese ways..
Soo…. people considered these folks to be credible after this??
Dean the dream got fired from 5 Alive. So did Butch and Ben, I believe. Also, I think you see a former Miss America shocasing her talent in this clip.
I personally think him doing soulja boy would be faaantastic
It’s hard to believe that crap like that is real.
Do you have a Youtube video of someone doing the “Cabbage Patch”. I’ve never seen it done.
I vote he does whatever the halftime-show dance that the Supersonics cheerleaders do.
About those million lost pounds…are they counting just the debits, or are we actually supposed to be a million pounds lighter? Because, if it’s the latter, we need to lose 1,000,005 to make up for the weight I’ve gained since discovering Jersey Mike’s.
i’ve never known sweaters to be a part of a dresscode………….
Think mentioning one of the best sandwich shops in the metro is going to get them to advertise with you? Maybe instead of Traber Thursdays they could have a “Lost Ogle Lunes”.
Jersey Mikes? Really?
I love Jersey Mikes. I didn’t know you could crave sandwiches…I guess it helps when they pour oil and vinegar all over them.
You guys are over-thinking this. The obvious choice is the two-step or possibly a line dance done to “Boot Scootin’ Boogie.”
