Teach me how to Thom Yorke

Posted by Business on Oct 13, 2011 in Business | 0 comments

Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke has been spotted various instances handing out newspapers throughout East London, according to celebrity news outlets, as part of the promotional campaign for the lately released Radiohead album The King of Limbs. The totally free newspapers, called The Universal Sigh, contain poetry, brief stories, nature articles, and a host of other artistic endeavours the band thought critical to consist of.

The King of Limbs was lately released on-line in a similar style as their last album, In Rainbows, costing as little as £6.00 for the MP3 version or up to £33.00 for the package deal which includes the digital version, a vinyl album, a CD, and a lot of other goodies.

The music video for the single, Lotus Flower, was released a short time ago and is now a viral smash on YouTube.  To summarise, it is 5 minutes and eight seconds of that sweet, sweet vibrato coupled with a lot of extraordinary dance moves that would make Napoleon Dynamite proud.  There is everything from Michael Jackson-like hip thrusts to a couple of actions that bear a strange resemblance to the chicken impersonations from the American Television show Arrested Development.

Dub versions have been produced by fans that have Yorke dancing to everything from Beyonce’s ‘Single Ladies’ to the Brazilian hit ‘Sou Foda’ by Avassalador.  The “Thom Yorke” is sure to be the latest dance craze, but just in case it does not catch on, here are a couple of other YouTube dances that you could want to practise just before hitting the club this weekend.

Cali Swag District came out with this gem, ‘Teach Me How To Dougie,’ in early 2010 and it has since taken America by storm, specially in the clubbing scene. Celebrity gossip internet sites are reporting that everyone from irresistibly cute 4-year-olds to superstar athletes are doing “The Dougie” whenever they get the opportunity.  Very good luck figuring out how to do it, even so, as the chorus continuously asks how to Dougie but the video in no way really shows specifically how to break it down.  It is all in the arms. Perhaps.

Yet another gem from the hip hop subculture in the U.S. that is slowly creating the rounds into the mainstream is ‘Moving Like Bernie’ by I.S.A.  Entirely based on the 1980s cult classic movie Weekend at Bernie’s, in which a corporate hot shot dies and is then paraded around town by two young staff in order to preserve out of trouble for his death, this is a pretty straightforward one that any person can do, dead or alive.  Cannot figure it out? Nicely, like the lyrics say just “hold your head back like a nose bleed’s coming through.” Right after that, it is all rhythm.

If you nonetheless can’t manage either of these, go ahead and stick with the Thom Yorke.  You can do the Yorke to just about any song, rapidly or slow, so no require to change your style up when the beat modifications.  Celebrities everywhere are soon to catch onto the new dance craze that will no doubt take the UK by storm.
