Nutbush

I learned about this baffling phenomenon while listening to Australian radio.  Apparently, in public school or something, everyone in the country learned some choreographed dance to “Nutbush City Limits” by Ike & Tina Turner.  And no one seems to know where it came from.

Some sort of country-wide meme.  Reminds me something Justin Pickard (I think) said about nationalism being merely a set of in-jokes.

    TIL Nutbush City Limits was not originally recorded by Bob Seger!
