The Twist really is one heck of a silly-looking dance.

If I may quote Mike Nelson... GIGANTOR!

Ah, the days when they built women like Buicks. Woof.

I know I am so pissed. I linked it on my blog. How could an old 1960 video be in violation of terms of service?

Grrr ARrgghhh

According to the French, it's a variation of the Twist they call "Monkey Bird" ("Mon Keyboard"?)

The band is the "Air Birds" BTW.

And yes, that is what real women look like.

Well, they've already removed the video for "breach of terms of use". The Copyright Police strike again! Don't get me wrong, as an artist and content creator I respect intellectual property, but are we getting just a little over zealous about it?
