I could dance to about 50% of my iTunes library.. or all of it if I had it turned down to 0. Unfortunately I don’t want to put a band in here twice, as I could very easily put something by Talking Heads or Of Montreal here… both bands that I freely dance to every time I listen to them. Fortunately I still have the New Pornographers up my sleeve. When I think of Canadians, I can’t really imagine them really being into dancing. But they do like beards, and wearing warm clothes – both things that I also enjoy – so I guess they do.
Jackie, Dressed in Cobras is one of my favourite New Pornographers songs, and it is from what I think is their best album, Twin Cinema. I have seen them live a couple of times, and I think it’s pretty cool that I can say I have danced to this song as they have performed it in front of me! Although even their less-danceable songs come to life with the full band behind them.
The other great thing about this song is that I found this video above. It is a potato. Just one little potato.
Dance you little potato!
