Do a Little Dance

Since seeing Pulp almost a month ago my Pulp/Jarvis Cocker obsession is at an alarmingly pleasant level. Pleasant for me, possibly annoying for others. I have purchased some lovely posters, a book, and an awesome Jarvis pin.

I'm looking forward to all my goodies arriving in the post.

I've been watching lots of videos on you tube and I came across a pretty great documentary about Common People called The Story of "Common People". Watching it has inspired me to want to learn the dance from the song's video clip. Sadly, the skilled googler that I was couldn't find a tutorial already made. So here is a super dodgy run through. 

Sing along with the common people


Clap up high right, left, right, left.

Sing along and it might just get you through

Clap lower right, left, right, step forward and arm motions as if going through saloon doors on "through".  

Laugh along with the common people


Belly laugh, hands to the left, hands to the right.

  
Laugh along even though they're laughing at you


Hands on hips, swaying slightly, right arm swings around to point on "you".

 
And the stupid things that you do, because you think that poor is c-o-

Pointer becomes telling off (windscreen wiper!) finger right, left, right back to point whilst left arm comes up to side of head for "cool" (note: cool eyes!).

-o-o-l 

Right arm spinning in a clockwise motion.

Ah!

Right pointer hand goes back towards shoulder as left hand comes forward in grabbing motion on "Ah!".
