American Culture on the Skids

Okay, I might just be getting old, or maybe I am not in touch with today’s urban culture, but there is a song I heard this weekend when hanging around with Bam’s fourteen year old daughter that I thought at first Weird Al Yankovich had stretched his repertoire to include Hip/Hop. 

It is called “Do Da Heizman” by a group called The Heizman Boys.  Talk about realizing you might be a one hit wonder...if you name your group after the song, you are not anticipating much of a follow up career.  Billy “Achy Breaky” Cyrus should have thought of that.

It even comes with a line dance.  I appreciate songs that come with instructions on dancing.  It takes the guess work out of my time on the dance floor. 

I am including two videos.  The first is just a static image of what appears to be a Heisman trophy (Finally the heisman gets it’s own dance!) and the words to the song.  The words are what makes it so special.  I also love the fact that they spelled all the words phonetically using Ebonics.  The second is a video of people doing the dance.  It was not easy to choose which was best.  Youtube was loaded with people submitting them and friends doing the dance. 

The large number of videos just served to remind me of how out of touch with current trends I am.  If you don’t hear from me for a few days, it is because I am learning the dance so I can impress the ladies.
Except the ladies with the “Stank Breath” I be doing da heizman on does hoes.
