But that just makes it easier. Here, I’ll go through it:
All the following moves are to be done simultaneously to the beat:
1) Point with arm fully extended out to the side of your torso to any position in space 30 to 60 degrees above the horizontal. Other arm is held akimbo.
2a) Look with full head turn in the same direction you are pointing in step 1.
2b) [For experienced practitioners only] As 2a, but look in the opposite direction you are pointing.
3) Move pelvic region. It does not matter which direction.
4) Foot movement is optional, but if engaged in, is minimal.
Tigerlily did say “suit up”. Presumably those will be provided. The funkiest among us can groove in anything, but she isn’t giving that high a challenge,
I predict that eventually, they’re going to point out to Tigerlily that she’s acting exactly like “The Man” – forcing them to jump through hoops, to conform, to march to someone else’s drumbeat – and the realization is going to flatten her.
The problem is that you can’t be better than someone if you do exactly the same things they do, with the exact same motivations.
Forcing the unfunky to become funky is unfunky. She thinks she’s teaching them how to resist The Man, but she doesn’t realize that the way she’s going about it is actually turning her into The Man.
She isn’t trying to help these people be free from the tyranny of The Man – she’s simply subjecting them to a different kind of tyranny. She’s trying to elevate herself and her own view as the only right way of thinking – which is exactly what The Man does.
That could be Tigerlily’s plan. The hoops aren’t the point. Whether or not you try to jump through them all just because a 40′ hologram told you to do so is.
Obviously, it’s not normally a hologram on the outside.
You mean most people don’t go through life following the instructions of a giant hologram? …I must be getting something very wrong. Or very right, depending on how you look at it.
Listen to the sound,
There are light squares on the ground,
This is our dance battleground,
And I can feel it.
Irradiator’s there,
In Tigerlily’s lair,
If we survive this nightmare,
We can steal it.
But that mad science woman,
She moves through the base,
Controlling hot tubs and disco,
When we face the next challenge,
And I’m not on the case,
Then I get that boned feeling, boned feeling,
Don’t know how to do this.
Getting that boned feeling, boned feeling,
We’re about to lose this.
Here I am,
Prayin’ that this madness won’t last,
Landin’ with a bump on my spine,
Another test,
Makin’ me whiiiiiine.
Boned feeling, boned feeling,
Don’t know how to do this.
Getting that boned feeling, boned feeling,
We’re about to lose this.
In the heat of the tub,
I didn’t think that we could take it,
Lasted just enough to get where disco’s waitin’.
I’d get higher up the tower,
Then fire up my machine,
Have things glowin’ in the dark,
Irradiatin’.

(Trapped here forever, baby, don’t you know.)

Noooooooo! Not the Disco Dance Challenge!
I’m already bored out of my mind just thinking about the limited dance moves used during this craze.
But that just makes it easier. Here, I’ll go through it:
All the following moves are to be done simultaneously to the beat:
1) Point with arm fully extended out to the side of your torso to any position in space 30 to 60 degrees above the horizontal. Other arm is held akimbo.
2a) Look with full head turn in the same direction you are pointing in step 1.
2b) [For experienced practitioners only] As 2a, but look in the opposite direction you are pointing.

Let’s go with the experts here, and buy a ticket…for the Soul Train. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhvXzy8gGBI
I could take only a few seconds of that before I had to “back page”.
Ha! I couldn’t look away…
…and given that those are the Soul Train Dancers, that’s about as good as it gets.
I…I was not being sarcastic… That dancing wasn’t bad. (I liked 1:49).
To those chastising it, what would you consider good dancing?
Time to get down and boogie!
But how can Chris boogie without his platform boots?
he is THAT good

You mean that wasn’t on purpose? Dr Jones didn’t think her plan all the way through?
The Man strikes from above. The challenge is to reach the top. What’s a funky cat to do to stick it?

I bet the Dane is a great dancer: comes with the “total cool” package.
He’s got rhythm…he’s got music…he’s got a gal—who could ask for anything more?
Well, it’s not the correct gal, for one thing.
Well, if you can’t be with the one you love, love the one you’re with…
By the way, you guys know you haven’t been on GoComics for a couple of days now, right?

Oh no!
White people can’t dance!
Oh yeah? What about the gavotte and the tarantella?
Those are done by bees and spiders, respectively, not white guys.
Dancing *after* drinks and a hot tub? Nefarious!
And I think you’re supposed to do it the other way around!
