crank what?
Sometimes I feel like I am losing it. I seem to be stuck in the 90s when things made sense, and the world is moving on without me, and not even blinking half an eye while doing that.
I’ve watched assorted videos by assorted people attempting to do the ‘Crank Dat’ dance by Soulja Boy. I’d seen Soulja Boy and his posse on some chat show doing the dance, showing every move bit by bit so the rickety host could follow. Intrigued by this 21st century ‘Macarena’-esque movement that I’d somehow seemed to have missed, I searched for the original ‘Crank Dat’ video. You know, because in order for the masses to pick up something as to generate the highly imaginative viral marketing success as achieved by ‘Crank Dat’ and Soulja Boy, well… it’s just got to be something damn special lah!
And this was the music video I found…
I still don’t understand.
In any case, my favourite version was performed by Richard Stallman and a few MIT people…
I admire their bravado. I also hope that they keep their day jobs.
Huh?
@.@
yay we are all stuck in the 90s!
Quite possibly one of the most repetitive songs I’ve ever heard, does it have more than 3 lines of lyrics?!
hahaha RIchard Stallman!! I remember the time I bought a keychain from the guy when he came to UM.
Muahahaha… He scratched his feet next to the lady he was sitting with! hahahaha.
I think ST was there too, in august 2005.
What are the 90’s? That’s like, two decades away isn’t it?
We’re so pretty,
Oh so pretty,
Pretty vacant!!!!
People try to put us d-down!
Talkin’ ’bout my generation!
Just because we get around!
Talkin’ ’bout my generation!
Who hoo!
BTW, that Crank Dat’ song has got to be one of the most annoying songs ever written. Soulja Boy should be shot and castrated alive.
i dont get it either. it just looks stupid to me. and the song is annoying as well.
so agree. hate tt song. very very annoying where its so repetitive n meaningless.
The 90s made sense?
So repetitive and meaningless.
So repetitive and meaningless.
So repetitive and meaningless.
That’s all I hear now-a-days!!!
Eyeris - I hope they all just f-f-f-f-f-fade away!
Talking about my generation.
Or how about this line:
I hope I die before I get old … lol
Wonder what Townsend thinks of that line now?
Don’t feel bad, Suanie - I had never seen nor even heard of the “Crank Dat” dance ’til you mentioned it here. The MIT vid is amusing, though - even if it does perpetuate the stereotype that your average WASP has absolutely no rhythm… [LOL]
Cheers,
Ted
