Kick back. (Line Dance to “Smoke a Little Smoke”)

If you want to talk about a song that has the ultimate swagger to it, I have to toss Eric Church’s “Smoke a Little Smoke” up there for a nomination.  You may not agree with the lyrical content or partake in it, but man, it’s a great song.  But well, Eric Church can sing us the phone book and we will buy it. [Yeah I stole my own line from twitter this week about Billy Currington.]

Since the song is played once a night, it was a one that we said ‘okay, we need a dance to.’

“Kick back” by Hana Reis is the dance we chose to learn for “Smoke a Little Smoke.” [We also sometimes use this for "My Kind of Party."]

This video is not step by step.  You are going to probably have to stop, pause, rewind until you get it. It took me a day or two to actually get this one cleanly at home. It took us three or four tries to get the timing right actually on the dance floor. But if you’re like us, you will hear the dance to the music and you’ll get it. No worries there. You’ll also hear in the song where the dance has a restart. (For those who are technical minded, it’s near the end of the third wall.)

Here is the step sheet at Hana’s blog.

We think this dance has the same swagger as the song so it’s definitely one we’ll keep in our back pocket.

New Music Thursday

Call me obsessed with music if you will.  I sit at a computer for probably 10 hours a day and in my car for 1-2 hours.  Music keeps me sane and in turn, the same old music gets boring.  To help fix this, I usually have a “New Music Tuesday” since that’s the day most new music drops… but I’m a bit behind this week.  Of course, I was inspired to download music when reading that Eric Church released an LP to iTunes that I was oblivious about.  Really? How did I miss that one?  (Thank you 9513 for enlightening me.)

Keeping me sane

Eric Church is keeping me sane this evening.  (Just downloaded the rest of this album from iTunes… not sure what took me so long to complete it.)

An’ how ’bout you?
Do you feel the way I do?
To tell the truth,
I think we’re the chosen few.
But that’s just me:
How ’bout you?
