Hurriyet Daily News ^ | March 07 2018

Posted on 03/07/2018 1:27:12 PM PST by nickcarraway

A "No dancing or swaying" instruction on tickets to Egyptian pop sensation Tamer Hosny's upcoming concert in Saudi Arabia has triggered an avalanche of mockery and ridicule on social media.

Thousands of fans were taken by surprise when tickets for Hosny's first-ever Saudi concert in the western city of Jeddah on March 30 came with the edict that dancing was "strictly prohibited".

"Ladies and gentlemen, please fasten your seat belts," one Twitter user said. "The corridors and seats will be equipped with sway detectors. Anyone who thinks about swaying will be kicked out."

Well, it’s one for the money
Two for the show
Three to get ready
Now go, cat, go

But don’t you
Step on my blue swayed shoes
Well you can do anything
But stay off of my blue swayed shoes

Well, you can knock me down
Step in my face
Slander my name all over the place
Well do anything that you want to do
But uh-uh, honey lay off of them shoes

And don’t you step on my blue swayed shoes
Well, you can do anything
But stay off of my blue swayed shoes

Let’s go, cat!
Ah, walk the dog

You can burn my house
Steal my car
Drink my liquor
From an old fruit jar
Well do anything that you want to do
But uh-uh, honey lay off of my shoes

And don’t you
Step on my blue swayed shoes
Well, you can do anything
But stay off of my blue swayed shoes

Rock it
Yeah

“Did Footloose take place in Saudi Arabia?”

No, but they are filming “Foot Loose” in Saudi right now.

Don’t know the whole plot yet - but it has something to do with people getting feet cut off for dancing and swaying.

Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the symphony
Of destruction

Hell you can’t even dance in NYC if the club doesn’t have a caberet license and that’s almost a century old and still enforced.
