Bad Music

Just heard a terrifyingly catchy campaign song and realized there was another similarly themed gem from 2016 I'd failed to post here.

Crazy that I started page 3 with campaign songs-- 1 page every 4 years? That's what I'm talkin' 'bout.

-- uhp, looks like I'm on the cutting-edge of this, here's the music video they promised.

From the makers of "Spongebob style", which I'm fairly certain everyone here has seen already...

The energy between these two is just... electrifying.

Let's go a LITTLE out of the box here, and instead of posting a SONG, per se, we will post PURE CHOREOGRAPHY.

You know what I'm talkin' about. I'm talkin' about THE REYDANCE!!!!!!!! (which I just spent a ludicrous amount of time hunting down and turning back into its original format)

I know what you're thinking now. How does one DO a proper REYDANCE!!!!!!!!...?

From careful study, here's my breakdown.

STEP 1
Make sure to start by introducing yourself (first AND last name), and introducing your dance (ex. "This is ______ _______, and this is THE REYDANCE!!!!!!!!").

STEP 2
Continually cross and uncross wrists in an X formation across your body. For extra style, move this formation from one side of your body to the other. Also, feel free to wear or carry cumbersome things that will make it harder to do this motion.

STEP 3
Don't forget to also lean precariously closer and farther away from the camera-- this takes a bit of coordination, but it's really not a REYDANCE!!!!!!!! if you're not doing both.

STEP 3b
Speaking of which, if your REYDANCE!!!!!!!! is being recorded, the best REYDANCE!!!!!!!!s use state-of-the-art YouTube Stabilization. Chances are your video will not be detected as being "shaky" and needing stabilization (note of interest: the footage should be initially shot stationary), so you'll have to intentionally select it yourself.

STEP 4
Get progressively more into your dance-- just feel that out ... ... and at a certain point (whenever your heart tells you it's right), let out a tiny "heh".

STEP 5
Follow that giggle up with an even more delighted chortle. Make sure the difference between the two is felt.

STEP 6
Afterwards, feel free to dance for however much longer as you feel is necessary to Get Your Groove Back.

STEP 7
While this wasn't part of the original (Reymon had no reason to say it himself, for we, his faithful followers would do the work for him.), it is by now imperative that you end your video with some variant of explaining to post YOUR best Reydance.

So, uh, having done a little more research about Camille & Haley, I found out they wrote ANOTHER campaign song 8 years ago for Rick Santorum for President, under the band name First Love.

... Perhaps this casts a spell to ensure a candidate doesn't win? Thank goodness.

EDIT: Also, using Ronald Reagan as an example of a great president is confusing.

EDIT 2: I watched a performance of them singing a song about stopping sex trafficking, and they couldn't stop smiling for one second throughout it. ...

EDIT 3: Hey, thanks, Camille & Haley, for casting your campaign spell again! Maybe I'll see you in another four years to inadvertently cast more meme magic, who knows.

A dear friend just sent this absolute marvel.

This is musical marketing at its finest! I'll take ten of what they're selling!

I am always baffled by what's been up on YouTube just waiting for me this whole time. Looks like this has been waiting until this year to even become relevant, wow! Just one more reason to push me that more closer to learning Tuvan throat singing.

Speaking of, I love whenever people compare Popeye's voice to Tuvan throat singing-- since they're actually the same. Wouldn't mind if Strong Bad gave a shot at the technique.
