Dancing in the Dark - The Best Worst Dancing Singers




Billy Squire - Rock Me Tonite - Dancing to end all dancing, in this video nasty.

Bobby Gillespie - Movin' On Up - You gotta love him though, he's like an ickle Thunderbird puppet.

Jarvis Cocker - Common People - Years of training at Pan's People's School of Visual Finger Dance, paid dividends for Jarvis. Known in the business as "Jazz-hands-vis Cocker" , he can vogue with the best of em. Look at him point and then point some more...

Mick Jagger and David Bowie - Dancing In The Street - 2 crimes for the price of one. You'd have thought after all these years, that someone would have been brave enough to let Mick know that chicken impressions and pouting does not a dancer make. This is truely horrid, awful, almost unwatchable in a car crash kinda way.

Adam Ant - Tabletalk - Adam pioneering robotic dancing in the late 70s and looking more like some student stumbling his way home from the pub. (check video 4:20 for invisible tennis)

Billy Ray Cyrus - Achy Breaky Heart - Nuff said, please tell his achy-breaky ears that he's even an embarassment to dancing dads. (check video 3:10 for best bit)

Soiuxsie - The Staicase Mystery - Siouxsie looks totally ill at ease prancing around for this corker of a song. Why she decided some Morris Dancing was what was needed is the only mystery here. Still makes me smile today.

Billy Idol - Rebel Yell - Sid meets Elvis, what could go wrong? His trademark posturing and arm dancing at its best. Point, sneer, punch...point, sneer, punch....

Talking Heads - Once in a Lifetime - It's just wrong. (check video 3:05 for Sooty nude)

Ian Curtis - Shadowplay - Joy Dividsion had far too many instrumental breaks - so alas Ian had to ad lib the best he could. (check video 2:42 seriously funny)

Bruce Springsteen - Dancing In The Dark - We wish. Cringingly 80s, He's like St Elmos and all those bad brat-pack movie dancing kids personified. (check video 3:23 for whats-her-face and twice the badness of dancing to fade)

Nick Cave - Dig, Lazarus, Dig - Now this is how to bad dance. Showing everyone that attitude and genius goes a long way - cool as F***

Elvis - AnythinghedidinLasVegas - Oh come on, you know it's true. He was really bad - the baddest. Elvis had all the worst moves, here's just some to watch out for. (check video 0:18 The Tremor, 1:38 The Robbie Williams, 2:00 The Trouser Pull, 3:13 The Sideways Moonwalk, 3:24 he does The Moustache, 3:34 Felatio, 3:56 Mr Whippy, 4:19 Kung-Fu Stancing)
