"A joint that connects the sacrum and ilium bones of
the pelvis, and is responsible for transferring
weight from the upper body to the lower limbs".
No doubt they picked it up from "The Hucklebuck"
Do the hucklebuck, do the hucklebuck
If you don't know how to do it, boy you're out of luck
Push your partner out then you hunch your back
Start a little movement in your sacroiliac
Wiggle like a snake, wobble like a duck
That's the way you do it when you do the hucklebuck
(1949 words by Roy Alfred)
There was a whole period when popular musicians were competing with one
another to invent new dances, to go with their new song. In many cases
the song lasted longer than the dance did.
The only such invention that had any staying power was The Twist.
There's still a lot of that going on. At the Regina Pats hockey games,
there are various interludes where some non-hockey-related things
happen, One of them is the spinning wheel that stops on a dance, music
is played, and fans are invited to "show us your moves". A few of the
dances are "Baby Shark", "The Shopping Cart", "The Floss", and "The Lawn
Mower".
The kids love it.
The Auntie Jack Show was an Australian TV series in 1972-73. The same
time that Monty Python appeared. The two shows didn't borrow from each
other, but both focused on surreal humour.
As it happens, Auntie Jack had a dance. Here are some of the words.
You put your right foot up on your nose
Elbow down on your toes
You put your stomach down on the ground
Kind of bounce it all around
[Chorus: Chorus & (Aunty Jack)]
And your doin', your doin'
Doin' the Aunty Jack.
