My 1978 Flashback - K. C. And The Sunshine Band - Moment

K. C. and the Sunshine Band:
Never a favorite band, but for me, an evocative one.


Random memories this song makes me flashback to:


"Jazz Dance."
1978.   The NCSA snack bar.  9:00 P.M. Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
Me and Betty Ann Byerly laughing so hard we peed in our pants.
Dopey character shoes, Capezio wrap skirts and endless, black leotards.  
(Worse: Black leotards on guys!) 
*Note:* Any male ceases to be "hot" once they've shown up to acting class exposing their skanky bare feet and wearing a black leotard. 
It's all a terribly cruel prank by acting teachers in full mid-life crisis to make young men do this.
BTW:  Betty Ann Byerly was the most fun I've had domesticating with someone that did not result in marriage.  
Going to the mall, pranking old ladies telling them we missed them at church last week, and how were their kids doing, anyway?  Then watch them struggle to deal with this, clearly never having met us, but not being so rude as to admit that.  Nobody was better at "playing church lady" than Hal Cline.
But, most of all this song reminds me of jazz dancing "in line" in front of the snack bar's juke box.  Over and over and over again. 
Using Molly Murray's super bad "Luigi Style" choreography.
Bumpin' and grindin' 24/7 in our sweaty leotards and leg warmers.
So many late night grilled bagels with cream cheese.
And, I have to say is, we were hot.   All of us.  H-O-T.
We were awesome.  


Get down tonight, Baby.
