Dance Fever! (1970s original)

Why is this here?

Not only was Dance Fever one of my FAVORITE shows growing up, but this clip has Frank Zappa, you guesssed it, dancing badly (and judging).

Plus:

The costumes are FANTASTIC. There's another guy named Frank who is dressed like a Disco Ancient Egyptian. And a guy in a green, scoop neck jumpsuit with a white shirt under it.

There's a headdress. A giant round wig of sorts. Seeing is believing.

There's a 'sexy move' dance lesson at the end with the celebrity judges. They do the "My feet are stuck in concrete so I think I'll swivel a bit while polishing the table" move.

"Dance Fever was recorded before an audience that was AY-LIVE! WOO!"

Add to that the fact that one of the guys who was on the Waltons is also a judge, and you've got a winner!

Oh, how I remember that light up score board!

(An aside: the couple in green from New Orleans is dancing West Coast Swing.)
