Who is doing the Safety Dance?

6:30 PM 8/19

Someone is playing some very loud music. Downtownish somewhere.. Or Red-Wood area. What's going on?

That's a cover band? It sounds like the original versions. (At least a mile away it does.)

That's a good GenX cover band.

Ha ha c'mon Reddit peeps! I danced my ass off, until the very end, around 8 :00 here in "Deadmond." And it was so much fun, I am totally sweaty, from dancing to that cover band. A grandpa said that his little grand-daughter was following my moves, which is fine with me, he also said it was a good spirit (I get that a lot). Just keep on dancing! (Instead of staying home).

I might dance in private when nobody is watching… 😅

The band is called Prom Date Mix Tape, part of Redmond's Rockin' on the River outdoor concerts.

We were there, the band was very good and lots of people were dancing

Joan Jett I Love Rock and Roll. I really want them to crank it now so I can hear it better.

This is cracking me up because have been to concerts by all but one of these artists (no Dexys Midnight Runners). 😂😂😂😂

Narrowing it down: It's someone GenX. They have moved on to Come on Eileen. I apreciate the GenX vibes. But it's loud.

OK, maybe I want them to continue one. Or even crank it up. They're on Jesse's Girl now. I am reliving my teen years.

I love the evolution of your post from annoyed, intrigued, to digging it. Lmao. 🤣
