The Carlton Dance - Neatorama

A friend sent me this on Monday and it was a lovely way to end my day. Ahhh, the Carlton Dance. The actor, Alfonso Ribeiro, is actually a very good dancer - he was even featured in one of Michael Jackson's Pepsi commercials when he was a kid.

Anyway... hope you enjoy this blast from the past as much as I did.

this video would be even better if it wasn't for all that copy write bull shit on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKlxjbhB9HE

Wow, Jake. WMG is under the impression that Tom Jones fans will get their fix by watching a Fresh Prince video that happens to have his song on it? Sheesh.

Carlton needed to wear tighter pants if he wanted to channel Tom Jones properly ...

Here's some trivia: Alfonso Ribeiro said he based the Carlton dance on the dance moves performed by Courtney Cox in the Bruce Springsteen video for "Dancing in the Dark". You can see it for yourselves.

Patient: Is that common?

Doctor: Well, it's not unusual.
