Hey, I LIKED this entry!
But can you pleeeeze write something we can samba to next time? Thank you!!!!
PS -- Uncle Bob, why don't you write Arthur Murray or something for a list of songs to whatever to? Ballroom dancers may suck and all that, but they generally have extra cash (hey, they shelled out for dance lessons in the first place), and if you make them happy they can be excellent tippers.

I just had visions of you acting like Adam Sandler singing "Love Stinks" in The Wedding Singer. I'd like to see you get all pissed and tell-off a room of Single Christian Ballroom Dancers. Might be worth the trip down south.

Glad you're back, UB!!! Can't wait to hear about your vacation. And what a score on the dj gig! I wish I could find a moonlighting job like that.

A) Ya, I'd need a vacation too if I had to ressurect myself from the Ballroom Dancing Coma that party would have put me in. But B) How in God's Name (ahem) did you manage to DJ a New Year's Party where you shut the music off an hour before the New Year? The only place I thought that would be possible is an Old Folks Home where they'd just lie and countdown at like 9pm and then all go to bed.

I'm a big fat ballroom dancer. I bet he doesn't even read his own comments. So UB hates me, wooo.

Cha-cha-CHA! LOL, the only song I can think of that would fit that request would be....
the theme song to *I dream of Jeannie*?, or maybe the theme song to the *George of the Jungle* cartoon?
I dunno... but then again, I'm pretty clueless when it comes to Ballroom Dancing.
that definitely sounds like a short trip to Hell... what a way to start off the New Year LOL
Glad you're back, or are you... {cue Twilight Zone theme}

People never appreciate the DJ. It's like bus drivers... everyone knows what they want, but they think they're the only folks who exist. What about the people who just wanna do a strip tease? Oh, wait... single Christians. Never mind. They do those things when no one's looking...

Bingoguy- UB is in CENTRAL Time. Right UB???
-------------------------------
UB - 2004-01-05 15:18:34
Yep ... central time. I stopped at 11 pm sharp because there was a mass taking place at 11:15 where they all had to go in the sanctuary. After that, they had a big breakfast where the dance had been held. Trinity, I don't hate you. But if you don't smile when you're dancing, I'll personally poke your eyes out. April's right...nobody EVER appreciates the deejay. We are a necessary evil. And every party has at least one person who thinks they can do a better job than the deejay. Lucy, the next day I found a site after googling "Cha Cha songs" that gave me a huge list of tunes they can cha-cha to. I'll never be caught in that predicament again. Wiggy, send me your home address so I can refund the money you spent reading this boring entry.

Isn't "Cat Scratch Fever" about syphilis? VD of some sort, anyway. Interesting choice for the pious :)

I thought "Cat Scratch Fever" was about, you know, cat scratch fever. It's actually a disease--I had it once.

UB, long as you play 'rainbow in the dark', there's no problems. and the 11:15 mass before new years is classic. talk about a case of church ruining fun.

Eee, first time leaving a comment. I do a bit of ballroom myself, and I love the dancing part... I think I grin myself to death while I'm dancing, unless I'm trying to figure out a new routine, in which case I figure it out, and THEN smile because I've figured it out. But even if I'm not getting it right, I usually laugh at myself. I'm sorry the ballroom dancers you've come across with seem to be asses. :(

If you have the inclination, rent the movie "Strictly Ballroom." It's a scream.

I would've broken out the coldplay, and if the blue hairs bitched about that it would be time to lay some crap like soul decision just to make em squirm.
oh yes, I would make them suffer, while smiling innocently about it.
Then again, that's why my ass would have been fired.
(But it would've been fun anyways)
Peace

I am a ballroom dancer and what you said was partially true. Older crowds of ballroom dancers tend to be like that, many of them don't put the energy a dance deserves into it but they have fun. About smileing if you go to competition your expected to smile, but ballroom requires a high level of concentration and so its extremly difficult to concentrate and smile at the same time. (Try solving a rubix cube and smile the whole time) Rest assured it is fun for those who are dancing. By the way the following songs are cha cha's Love Potion #9, Papa Don't preach (I think thats the name of the song), I need to know, The way that you are, You might as well be walking on the sun. (I'm not sure about the last two are the titles but they are by smash mouth. In fact quite a bit of what he plays is a cha cha.) A good way to find out is by listening to the beat of something you know is a cha cha. (Like Love Potion #9) and by listening for this count. 2 slow beats (counted as the 2 and 3) and 3 very quick beats (the Cha cha cha, or counted as the 4 and 1) then back to the 2 and 3 counts again. It will sound like slow slow quick quick quick slow slow. Listen if you want any more help I can give you other lists for other dances too such as Waltz, Foxtrot, Tango (A hard one), Mambo, Salsa, Merengue, Samba, Rumba, Swing, and hustle (You probably know swing songs though). Oh and one more thing, some ballroom dancers might suck but its for a lack of practice. To become good you have to practice for hours and many people don't have that time.
