In My Free Time
I fantasize about learning this entire routine and dancing around the apartment in a fringey dress.
I fantasize about learning this entire routine and dancing around the apartment in a fringey dress.
Heck yeah! I started practicing a couple of months ago, I’d love to do this routine.
Doesn’t she get dizzy shaking her head so much?
Or whiplash?
Yes indeed..this would cause a sore neck for sure. But the dancing and the dress sounds like fun!!
All you need is 10 willing men . . .
Oh my god! That may be the best thing I have ever seen! I am totally going to go steal some of my grandmother’s dresses from the 60’s (or maybe some of her current window treatments.. both have lots of fringe) so that I can feel like I am capable of dancing like that.
Oh! I’ve had the same fantasies since seeing Ghost World but have never seen the whole song / routine up close. Thank you! Maybe I’ll go as her for Halloween next year…I’ll have to start neck-strengthening exercises now!
What language are they singing in?
And that girl in the gold..her poor brain…all that shaking!
You know what I love about this video – all the girls are “regular” sized. Dig it.
I think it only fair that you learn it and post the end results!
Hey! I’ve got that song on my iPod! I just love it to death.
They’re singing in Hindi…..I love the crazy 60’s Bollywood combo. Nothing better.
does anyone have any tylenol, i have a whoping headache after watching that!
IF I could dance better than the awkward white girl with no rhythm that I am, I would so do this as well!
Brilliant.
Wouldn’t it be great if life would just turn to Bollywood now & then?
I was also struck by the “regular size” gals. It’s kind of shocking to see a size fourteen on film or video that isn’t being screamed at by a panel.
Thank you so much. For everything. But I thank you especially for this video. Excellent work.
It’s so cool to see women of usual size in a film dance sequence, but it’s also interesting that they are so pale. One of the most famous Indian actors of the 20th c., Amitabh Bachan, couldn’t get work at first because his skin was too dark:

Which is a long way around to saying there’s always something.
Also, I am learning this one with 50 of my BFFs:

One of the funniest routines ever!!A must-learn!!
finally anoter use for tassels besides sombreros and curtains
This is going to get me through a lot of dark moments. I feel it.
My favorite (in addition to the above comments – real sized girl, crazy head shaking) is that the choreography isn’t so polish polished. I mean, no steps are dropped and no couples are missed, but I could totally see some folks jammin’ out like that in a club. Real folks, getting down real hard. Love it.
Thanks!
Wow. I’m speechless. I was MESMERIZED the entire time! I just couldn’t even BELIEVE!
I especially liked the part towards the end where she slowly is lowered into the singer’s arms and we think it’s over but then BOOM it’s back to the close up agonizing head spasm again.
I sincerely thank you for sharing this with me.

I thought I was the only one who fantasized about learning movie dances. Mine is the Adam and Eve number from White Christmas.
The song is part of the Ghost World soundtrack, which is out of this world!
Wow. Just….wow.
They look so HAPPY.
I’m going to sing it so if you want a live singer instead of a tape, you know where to find me… toopatoopa tickatickee dina ka ha nee. dina ah san hoo!
I love that the women are in flats, not high heels. Those shoes are made to boogie down!
totally want to second (or make that something more like tenth) the whole REAL women thing. awesome!
I can’t believe I wasted 5:33 minutes watching this. I do have a gold lamé outfit I wore in the 70’s you can have.
The whole thing (I think) is on the Ghost World DVD. This clip is the only reason I bought that DVD to own!
[...] No words can describe the clip seen here. No words. Just watch. [...]
Oh..that is soooo not sexy. It was making my head hurt just watching all the head bobbing. Made a note to self too, fringe on the butt is NOT slimming.
Am I the only one who got a Quentin Tarantino vibe out of that?
