Picture the scene:

Eurovision night 2003.

Penny and Martin laying her bed, lashings of Ribena, having already witnessed Alf Poier's glorious song about noodles, Setab's obvious winning song early on, Lou singing about being happy and gay, t.A.T.u. running up and down their little hills and Jemini's unfortune we were ready for something... bated breath, something of true eurovison legacy.

Enter BELGIUM.

Urban Trad with their song Sanomi sung in an imaginary language. At full strength, Urban Trad has 17 members, but they had to scale down to five for Eurovision rules.

It genuinely is in a made up language, it has no meaning whatsoever. It did however have a dance routine. This routine formed the building blokcs on which our almost mythical dance is built. The number of people we have encountered over the last few years that know the dance is phenomenal. In fact there was one evening where we staged an imprmptu Macarena style group in the center of a nightclub with every other person on the dancefloor joining in.

I think the reason that the dance so very very amazing is two fold:

1) It is simply referred to as "The Dance"
2) It works to ANY song.

Wow.

I can go one better.
