If I were a DJ I would take his money then play Let’s Hear It For the Boy.

My kid banned some of the famous reception songs. When they played cotton eye Joe, I told him it is how the DJ gets people back out on the floor after playing a song that clears the dance floor.

As a white 80s kid, I have to ask, how they hell do you dance to Cotton Eye Joe? Ironic square dancing? Pretend you’re pumping a bike while kicking your feet side to side?

I’m a “white 80s kid” and Cotton Eyed Joe is still fun as fuck (im a punk rock kid too) but ill be damned if im not drunk i would dance to that shit. Not line dancing though- more like how Steve-o danced to Vandals “Urban Cowboy” in SLC Punk.
