So You Think You Can Disco Dance?

GiggleSugar — Thu, 22 May 2008 01:00:00 -0700

Well, that is because you have not seen Sven and Helga! (That's what I like to call them anyway.) We posted this vid a long time ago, but it seems that Diesel jazzed it up to enhance its fabulosity and to shill some sneakers. Sven and Helga so thoughtfully walk you through some basic disco moves, my favorite being the perpetual pelvic thrust. And when their friends get up and the whole room's dancing, you can't help but get into the "disco feeling" yourself.

Forget the 80's--Long Live Disco!

It's only a matter of time before disco--that much maligned genre involving "The Hustle," glittery tube tops, and Lipps, Inc.--comes back with a vengeance. Disco, you ask, what's that? Well, the Finnish once wanted to know that, too. And here's their answer in the form of one of the dorkiest things I've seen in a long time: a Finnish disco dancing instructional video. (Thanks for this gem, Sharpeworld!)

Disco Ernie: The 88-Year-Old Male Stripper

GiggleSugar — Sat, 22 Mar 2008 02:00:00 -0700

He's 88 years of age and he ain't ashamed to show it! When I say "it," I mean it. That's right, Disco Ernie is a working stripper, mmmkay? He can't thrust his hardened hips back and forth, for fear of breaking one, but he does a damn good job of seducing the ladies. Gramps does 100 situps "everyday, or almost everyday, or every other day" - how the hell is he supposed to remember? - but his ~~washboard~~ washed up stomach speaks for itself. Ernie's routine consists of him showing off his prized "abs" and waving his arms around for ten (or realistically five) minutes. Bibbidi-bobbidi-eeeew!

Flashback: Heather Parisi Is Disco Bambina

If you've ever wondered why Italian pop stars aren't in American top 10 charts, you might want to take a look at Heather Parisi, an '80s singer I stumbled upon - initially in bewilderment, and finally with great satisfaction - while doin' my job. Granted, she might be a children's entertainer, but still. . . I'll give her one thing, though, she's rockin' the spandex! As a co-worker at the Sugar headquarters aptly put it, "It's sooo Xanadu!"

The Gift That Keeps on Giving: '70s Finnish Disco Dancing

This is like the third time I've posted this awesome dance video from Finland. But as long as people keep messing with it, improving it with every permutation, I will keep posting. Enjoy your weekend! How can you not, with a video like this to usher it along? (Thanks to Madchen for giving us this German music version!)

Disco Elevator

This is a case where Door # 2 is so inferior to Door #1. What's wrong with you, lady?!

I Want One!

This tiny dancing werewolf who can boogie his heart out in the palm of your hand really brings out the lycanthrophile in me. This little dude would be perfect to pull out on a dreary, depressing day, his hairy disco moves like rays of sunshine (as long as the house pets were moved to an undisclosed location). The ad claims that TDW is perfect for birthdays, Valentine's Day, Christmas, anytime, really.

Bee Gees Hit Could Save Your Life

The Bee Gees: they're not just for cheesy '70s dance parties anymore! US medics report that when students studying how to do CPR listened to the Bee Gees '70s hit "Stayin' Alive" while practicing chess compressions, following the beat of the song helped them space the compressions properly. When performed properly with the recommended rate of 100 chest compressions per minute, CPR triples cardiac arrest survival rates. Speaking of the disco classic's effect on students, one doctor said, "It drove them and motivated them to keep up the rate. . ." I wonder if wearing polyester pantsuits while practicing compression under a disco ball would further improve their technique? Click here to read more.

One Bra + One Pair of Pants = Brants!

GiggleSugar — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 07:00:00 -0800

Brants are the first all-in-one bra/pant outfit. And what a versatile outfit indeed. You can disco-dance in them, mourn in them, why, you can even walk in them! And the the enhanced camel toe feature will get you noticed even more than the exposed bra will. What are you waiting for? Get Brants now. Because if you can wear leggings as pants, you can wear Brants.

WTF?!

In this video, a younger Ashley Olsen is clad in disco-wear while dancing to disco Muzak. I always wondered how the Olsens made their millions. Improbably, you're lookin' at part of it. It is strangely mesmerizing, though. I can't stop watching . . .
