The dance is 16 beats, so it will technically work for almost any song with a 4/4 time signature. Numa numa, CBAT, Never Gonna Give You Up, Axel F, Do It To It, Get Schwifty; and the list could go on for ages. It's the most common time signature out there.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Yeah. As a musician, I always think "well... yeah, of course" whenever I hear this. A set of four 4/4 bars is basically the most prevalent phrasing in popular Western music, and it has been the case for centuries at this point in time.
Historical note: This is also true of the Locomotion, the Twist, the Time Warp, and the Monster Mash.

Let’s do the time warp again!
Did that once years ago at an alternative club…security came over and said to cut it out or we’d be bounced. I laughed. They weren’t actually joking.
TIL: the Macarena is not one of those things where no one can stop you.
The Funeral March will never be the same again!
