Oh to be young again

Searching on You Tube for videos of The Beat (a fools errand, don't bother) I happened upon this piece of youthful exuberance.
It put a smile on my face.

The Beat

I presume you're talking about mirror in the bathroom beat? Try searching "english beat". Thanks to their renaming for the american market that's what most of the internet knows them by now.

I've just searched and found lots on there...

Starting a campaign

I'm not comparing The Beat to real ale (they're much better than that....!!) but maybe we need to reclaim The Beat for us! No more 'English Beat'!

I know it's an over-used word but...

...she's cool.

I can't help noticing. . .

a certain, er, thrust to today's proceedings, what with this and the latest podcast guest. Ah, the joys of Spring.

Just what I thought

Just her joy of dancing, having a can of pop, doing some more dancing. Fab.

Can't say watching footage

Can't say I'm completely comfortable about the idea of watching footage of a young teenage girl on a website predominantly visited by middle aged men...

Tell you what

Lighten up.

I'm momentarily confused -

I'm momentarily confused - am I an employee or merely a subscriber with a recently-received renewel form to complete?

Andy Lynes | 29 April 2008 - 5:03pm

I think...

...the problem lies with you. When I came across the clip, I didn't think anything untoward, I just loved her youthful exuberance and her dancing.

Mr Drayton | 30 April 2008 - 2:27pm

Me too

It reminded me of being that age and dancing in front of the mirror to Van Halen. And I've never been a teenage girl.

Its amazing what freaks people out

It took me back 20 odd years ago with my sister and her mates around our house messing around when they thought the guys were out. In other words, Funny.

"Dirty middle aged men", I think not. Nostalgic perhaps. And not in a bad way either.

Springer | 30 April 2008 - 4:28pm

Or even better. . .

Tighten Up! Did someone say "happy dancing"?

Archie Valparaiso | 29 April 2008 - 5:33pm

Middle aged men

Completely agree! We should be watching middle aged women dance instead:

Crowdedmouse | 29 April 2008 - 4:40pm

More middle- aged women dancing.

That should cool things down nicely.

Paul | 29 April 2008 - 5:11pm

Nah. We like 'em young:

Nick White | 29 April 2008 - 5:13pm

dancin'

so fast it beats ropey old american telly top stuff!

Chris G | 29 April 2008 - 5:20pm

Middle aged men dancing

What about a middle aged man dancing (while singing about a dancer)?
