From 2008's Midnight Boom...

You can't do it without shuffling your feet, peeps.

OPEN REQUEST SUNDAY: Chubby Checker, "Pony Time"

Thanks to Coe, we now have the chance to rediscover a CLASSIC dance.  Watch below to learn with Chubby, and if you want to hear the full song, go here.  Boogity boogity boogity boogity SHOOP.

Wilson Pickett, "Hey Joe"

Slightly less famous than the Jimi Hendrix version (which was released a few years earlier), but great in its own right. Enjoy!

The Last Shadow Puppets, "Separate and Ever Deadly"

The Last Shadow Puppets evidently arose from the friendship between Alex Turner (of the Arctic Monkeys) and Miles Kane (of The Rascals... not those Rascals).  Based on what little I've heard of them, I'm beginning to like them more than the Monkeys.  Enjoy.

Wilco with Feist, "You and I" (Live on Letterman)

Performed two years ago, following the release of Wilco (The Album).

Cheap Trick, "If You Want My Love"

Perhaps the best thing about the atrocious movie we rented last weekend was the soundtrack, which exhumed this gem for us. Enjoy! And enjoy the video... especially the wardrobe!
