I want to tell you why this is the song of the day.  About two years ago, I started dancing to quell my long streak of staying home every weekend night.  I gave a few ballroom classes a try.  Uhh- no.  A friend then directed me to try some classes at the Albuquerque Dance Club.  “It’s country and swing.  You’ll like learning that stuff.”  So I went over to an ADC function and took a class.  And then I hung around and watched a club dance.  And every once and a while in this dance, a pop song would come on, and couples would do this funky looking slot dance.  It was mesmerizingly cool.  I asked my friend what it was they were doing.  “That’s West Coast Swing.”

Fats forward a few months and many classes later.  I finally get the nerve at a dance to go out and try to dance this crazy cool dance.  And I discover I love it.

Well, somewhere in the early months of learning to dance some West Coast Swing, this song was played, and I loved it.  Over time, I realized, to me, that this is the perfect WCS song.  And not only that, it is just a great song.

Here’s one reason why this song is so cool…
