Want to learn how to do the Ketchup dance? Las Ketchup was on the CBS Early Show this past Monday to perform and teach the dance. I missed it (oh darn…). Trying to learn on the web is hard; I’m having a hard time trying to figure out the timing, particularly in the last part, where everything seems to get combined (hands to head, knees back and forth, body-wiggle. I found a Sony page that had a link for learning to do the dance, but it was a .exe file; totally useless. You can watch the video here, but it’s useless for learning the dance. I’m also having a hard time figuring out where to start. The dance moves seem to fit the chorus, but there’s a whole verse before the chorus starts, and I haven’t seen anybody do the dance with the non-chorus parts.

So why am I interested in a silly fad dance? Because it’s a fad. Because, for the next few? couple? one? month, people will be wanting to do it. People still like to do the Macarena; I’m glad I have it in my music collection. I don’t know if the Ketchup Dance will reach the same stature (if Sony and Columbia have anything to do with it, it will), but one might as well be prepared.
