highlyeccentric: Sign on Little Queen St - One Way both directions (shock!)
This is awesome, but very bizarre:

She links to the SMH article, which says:

Not one of the Chooky Dancers owns a computer. But their foot-shuffling, pelvis-thrusting moves have made them internet stars.

As of yesterday, 867,573 people had viewed the Aboriginal teenagers' video on YouTube, a jerky dance to a techno version of Zorba's Dance, from the film Zorba The Greek.


'Pelvis thrusting' is about right- you can tell it's been choreographed by a teenage boy, the entire routine screams 'isn't it awfully nice to have a penis'.

The Chooky dancers- most of whom don't speak English, let alone Greek- are currently touring Australia, have performed on Australia's Got Talent, and hope to take their Zorba routine to Greece next year.
YouTube also has a scratchy video of their Superman routine (who SANG that song? Aqua?), and the Zorba routine as performed at something called Dreaming Festival 2008
