My wife was giving me grief becasue I got no rythm and can’t dance. So I played her some music from “My time” and now she understands. Have you ever tried to “dance” to AC/DC (any song), Van Halen, Cheap trick, Rush, Black Sabath, REO (before Hi infedelity), The Knack or one of my one hit wonder fav’s…The Kings “Switching to glide”. 
My excuse for not being able to dance………
I grew up listening to punk or head banger so all you get from me is or this or this

I haven’t tried dancing to them, but if you ever want to sit around a campfire, listening to music, you picked some good beer drinking music! Ask yourself, which would you rather do? 
I can’t dance either, I’m white and have ZERO for tallent and dancing. I do like your music though. Lets get a 12er’ and go road trippin’
What more can I say? I too was a child of the 70’s. The dancers (Or ones who THOUGHT they were!) listened to the Saturday Night Fever stuff!
Give me the James Gang, Ozzie, Eagles, Jackson Browne, etc!
My wife used to grumble but I always tell her to just look at this body…… The good lord made it this big for moving heavy objects….not dancing. Of course there was this one time in Jamaica after many many many rums and with it’s… and a rumor was I danced. I can’t remember. 
“they” Said once …. I wanted to dance, but the band was packing up to leave …. guess it just takes lots of booze to loosen me up.

I understand totally – my inability to dance cost me winning a new Triton boat at the Elite 50 on Lake Wissota. I dance like a friggin Polish elephant!!
now this is funny, I learned to 2 step to van halen, man nothing like moving your feet. I used to be able to cut a rug pretty good in my ol boots, but I havent been out dancing in about 5 years. but ya know, alcohol was definetly present to help me relax to learn how to dance, not to mention my teacher was good lookin. 
. But I will stand around and drink now and watch the women dance, because i believe that dancin is a spectator sport.

I was told I danced like the host of the Gong Show…
I’ve never danced since…in it’s place, I’ve taken up stand up comedy.
If you ain’t polishing your belt buckle while you hold her, you ain’t dancin. Try some to loosen up a bit. Then you actually take her in your arms. Move around a little and she will turn to putty. 
She will be eternally greatful. Worked for me for 36 years.
What they call dancing today, looks more like someone with “Ants in their pants” or a little boy “killing snakes with a stick”.
Slow dancin is not the problem luckydog. My wife was reffering to my dancing skills to pop/top 40 hits music. AC/DC WAS top 40 when I was in school!

Fishahollik,
Wow…your post just shook some dust loose in the old caranium. 
Your “oldies” description is about a 1/8 of my vinyl collection……yes, I said vinyl. If you played your wife a few tracks off Black Sabbath “Black Sabbath”, I am sure she understood why you can’t dance.

I know somepeople that would say that you can’t do that either

The greatest music ever made was made for listening to, not dancing.

If that’s the case…now I know why my wife turns her head when I take off my shirt…it’s because my belly is blinding her!!!

Does that include the composition of your head too? 
My inability to “dance”, in all probably, cost me a promising political career, maybe even the Presidency.
Hey Tuck!!!!! 
Rumor in Hastings is that you were the King of Disco, with your platform shoes & bell bottoms, looking like John Travolta!!!!
I heard the same rumor…
‘cept he had a couple glittered shirts that drove the girls wild…
I think there was even a song about him that made it big time…I think it was called…Disco…
Disco Tuck!
Somebody get me a hanky…I’m crying!
Wow, I’d almost pay to see that.

For that one, you can mark down $50 worth of your favorite adult beverage on me!!!!!
Yup, I can just see Tuck with his white jump suit with gold sequins and high back collar belting out a song into his dance partner’s ear.
You guys make me want to get out the vinyls again also. Of course, I learned to dance to songs like “Little Red Rented Rowboat”, “Splish, Splash, I Was Taking a Bath” and “Itsy, Bitsy, Teeny, Weenie, Yellow Polka Dot Bikini”.
Later in life, dancing while listening to music became secondary.
Get it on.

Good one, Blue!
T. Rex…Slider!!! 
You know Blue? In seeing Tuck in his Friday night going out cloths…just makes me want to stop what I’m doing…and break out in song….
….More than a woman…more than a woman to meeeeEEEeee!
Now I know where I’ve seen Tuck before. He was the cop in that group from the 70’s. Can’t remember their name now. Village People?
Whyyy…Emmmm…Seeee…Aaaay

“Macho, Macho Maaaaan…………”
Honestly guys……. The guys that performed that old music often “moved” on stage. Can’t dance to it? Y’all ain’t tryin’ hard enough!!!
Listen up…. 
If you guys are ever lookin’ for attention from women, but you can’t dance…….. FAKE IT!!!! If you can hear the “tick” of the high hat keeping time, just stay in time and bend the knees a bit. Some swaying won’t hurt either.
Spectators miss out on all the fun! Would you rather watch a bus load of girls come and go or mix it up on the dance floor, get some names, and leave with the bus? I watched more than one fella get mad at another because he was to proud or too busy being chained to his beer! It doesn’t matter if you stink, DANCE! Girls like guys who DANCE!!!
Case in point. You think Mick Jagger’s good looking? Good thing that boy moves! James Brown? David Lee Roth? Anybody from Kiss? Tim McGraw? Garth Brooks? Alan Jackson? It don’t take “ants in the pants”. Just move a little! 
Anyone can move a little!
Any of you youngin’s readin’ this, take a note. Dancin’ ain’t sissy and you’ll be happier learning to do it than sittin’ on the sidelines “spectating”. I mean, what’s more fun, racing…….. or watching it? Fishing…….. or watching it? Playing any sporting game (football, baseball, hockey, etc…)……. or watching it? Swimming…….. or watching it?
Anyway, you get the picture. Want another reason? It GIVES attention to a person vs. “being watched”. Also known as “oggling”. Spending time with someone, engaging in a mutually enjoyable activity, is far more productive, so put the “me worries” away and JUST DO IT!
And for the older readers…….. it’s also commonly perceived that the way a person dances is a direct indication of how good or bad a person is……….. after hours. Therefore, the last thing you want to be seen doing is “just standing there”.

Good one…I am going to learn Photoshop if it kills me now!
