The hippies on South Street may doing dancing that's elite, but the ones down on Slauson Avenue, a few miles to the north, have a new dance!

Do the Slauson--Round Robin (with the Blossoms) (1963)

Do the Slauson Shuffle--The Olympics (1963)

The hippies on South Street may doing dancing that's elite, but the ones down on Slauson Avenue, a few miles to the north, have a new dance!

How do you get there? Let me tell you friends, how do you get there! You take the San Diego Freeway to the Ventura Freeway. You drive to the Slauson Cutoff, get out of your car, cut off your Slauson, get back in your car, then you drive six miles till you see the Giant Neon Vice-Squad Cop.

Nice!

Here's a "song" about a not-so-nice place...

   "Doing Time At Rikers Island" - Michael Packer

And this song below (which I bet you've heard, Fiji Hill!) was mentioned in the previous song, and also started a dance of sorts, as you can see from the "dance" clips...

   "Walking The Dog" (1) - Rufus Thomas

   "Walking The Dog" (2) - Rufus Thomas

   "Walking The Dog" (3) - The Rolling Stones

   "Walking The Dog Line Dance"

   "Walking The Dog Dance"

(With that, I'll have to say goodnight, and I'll have to check back tomorrow to see how long this thread gets!)

Fiji,

The "South Street" referred to by the Orlons is South Street in Philadelphia, not the South St. in Long Beach and Lakewood.

Love your music choices! Take care
