If Mumbo & Jive were a novel of the life and times of el Krecko, this would be the chapter where the main character realizes that he is no longer a young man. In
this post, I failed to notice that LMFAO is not a serious band. They are a joke act.
Dearest Mumbo & Jive readers--does nobody have el Krecko's back?
There is a contact tab. There are comments. Yet no one has (as of press time) commented on my mistake or notified me otherwise.
Thanks to finally watching the video in question, I now know that LMFAO is an ironic band of finest quality:
I was persuaded to watch this video, and another video, which will dispell all lingering doubts (
is LMFAO really a joke?), by a long-lost gentleman from many of our readers' past. But that is for another post:
I hope you all noticed the dance move champagne showers. Not the end where they defeat the horde of vampire bitches with holy champagne on the advice of Beats by Dr. Dre-sporting white Jesus. The one where they're all out on the dance floor, before they realize all the women are vampires. Best dance move ever. Watch it again. All I can say is that the next dance party I attend will have plenty of champagne showers to get back at the world for not telling me that LMFAO is a joke band. I could have been enjoying them for at least a year and a half now.
It's a bit like a man I know. He one day turned on MTV, and realized that he could not understand what anyone was saying. It would have been as difficult to understand them had they been speaking Guarani, Uzbecki, or Karen. Not Klingon, however. This gentleman fell in with a crew in high school that was not unable to speak paragraphs in Klingon. So, at least with Klingon, he could have gotten the general idea.
Jesus Christ, he said,
I must be getting goddamned old. But then he realized that he was 18 years old, and those people are idiots. That person was me. And I'll be 25 for three more days still.
I would also like to apologize to the group where we had to do ice breakers a few months back. Our ice breaker was to name our favorite genre of music. I explained that my favorite genre was "cock rock" and cited "The Darkness," "Electric Six," "Cealed Kasket," and "Tenacious D." LMFAO belonged on my list of favorite bands. So while I apologize to LMFAO, I also need to let this group know:
If you didn't feel like you had gotten to know me after the two minutes we spent on ice breakers, it's my fault, not yours.
I work out!
And since I'm writing on Christmas Day*, I might as well tie everything together with a Christmas music video that goes all out, The Darkness'
Christmastime (Don't Let the Bells End).
I'm certain that penis joke was unintentional.
*...using the worst Internet service in America, so I couldn't actually post this until several days later
Unfortunately, Paul Eugene took down the original Gospel Groove Aerobics video featuring the Sanctified Slide and his backup dancer Frank, with whom we all quickly fell in love. All I could find was a low res picture from this website. Apparently, Paul Eugene was on Soul Train in the 70's even though he had no dance training whatsoever. What a fucking bad ass.
