Workin’ It!
These girls are WORKIN’ IT.
I created this video last night. The music is a song called “Zukunft” by Estonian band Fuck Yuo I Am A Robot, which I also discovered while surfing around the web last night. Fuck Yuo I Am A Robot’s newest release “Compensator For The Accelerator” is available for download for free (as in beer) on their website, which, of course, is worth an additional 100 cool points. Their cover art states:
We praise the mp3 for giving the creative mind an opportunity to unleash itself from the established hierarchies of music distribution and bypass spoonfeeding by opinion leaders.
The website also contains a .pdf download of the cover and CD art that actually folds into a sleeve that will protectively hold your newly burnt disk. Anyways, cool music, nice design, and great attitude.
The video is of Gwen Verdon (Cacoon anyone?) shaking it to a dance choreographed by her husband, the talented Bob Fosse. The original dance was choreographed to a song called “Mexican Breakfast” by Pat Williams. As you can see Gwen really knew how to move and Fosse was way ahead of his time. Seriously, did Bob Fosse invent the bootyquake? Now go rent “All That Jazz” and “Caberet”, or just watch these videos.
As a bonus, here are three additional Fuck Yuo I Am A Robot songs courtesy of Jazzotheque:
Fuck Yuo I Am A Robot - Nina Robots That Shoot Laser Beams And Stuff
Fuck Yuo I Am A Robot - The Ride Ripoff
Fuck Yuo I Am A Robot - T.A.T.U. Remix

I think Fosse would’ve liked it. I think this is an epidemic, both of “Walk It Out” mashups (TeleTubbies, Happy Feet AND Barney) and “Mexican Breakfast” mashups (four on this page, plus the original; and then there’s this one from Artifacting). To wit, this slightly different mashup, featuring a Wolfmother song and Verdon doing the same Fosse dance: I’m no longer thinking about chilaquiles. Seed on Newsvine / Add to del.icio.us

, and popularized by Atlanta native DJ UNK: I think Fosse would’ve liked it. I think this is an epidemic, both of “Walk It Out” mashups and “Mexican Breakfast” mashups (four on this page, plus the original; and then there’s this one from Artifacting). To wit, this slightly different mashup, featuring a Wolfmother song and Verdon doing the same Fosse dance: I’m no longer thinking about chilaquiles, but I could be persuaded to think about them again.
