Shalamar "Dancing in the Sheets"

After watching this video “grab your coat and wave goodbye to your friends” took on a whole new meaning. If the guy in the black gloves, white kerchief and matching white wristband asks you to dance in the sheets, it's less likely that you're about to make sweet, sweet love and more likely that the end of your life is imminent.


One would think that a sexy song like “Dancing in the Sheets” would have a correspondingly sexy video. Instead, the video appears to be one the scenes from “Footloose” that ended up on the cutting room floor. The action picks up at the 2:20 mark when black Zorro ducks at just the last minute (or two), making Jonathan Taylor Thomas’ punch land right in Borat’s face. He then has the presence of mind to not only pause briefly to listen to not-Prince’s guitar solo, but also to give not-Prince the fist pump, which is the universal sign for “grab the nearest rope and swing straight through the front door, because we’ve got to meet Kevin Bacon and Chris Penn at the old barn to teach them how to dance (in the sheets).”
