Wednesday at the Birdcage I was horrified that only Bartman got the reference to Da’ Dip by Freak Nasty – a classic hit from 1996. This epic song never hit higher than 15 on Billboard but this song made it to the playlist of every dance party and wedding based on the pre-twitter/pre-youtube world of social media. Freak Nasty is really Carlito Thomas – who was raised here in NOLA but currently works and produces in Atlanta.
You can watch the video in all its glory right here. https://video.search.yahoo.com/search/video?fr=tightropetb&p=da+dip+video#id=1&vid=a571c5c0cbd5d72bb6b60f0735d34e0b&action=click
So today was inspired by the un-informed from Wednesday.
Started with the disclaimer…Tclaps to Tinkles who posted with 2 miles under his belt already and welcome back kotter to Jammy Fanny.
Mosey’d over to the Tulane lawn for a quick warm-up.
SSH x 20, IMP walker squats x 20, Mtn Climbers x 20
Mosey’d to the Mtn – straight to the top up the stairs taking 2 steps at a time: At the top broke out Sally Up/Flower by Moby for a Splash inspired Squat a thon. Every time Sally Up – squat up – every time Sally down – squat down.
Then we did a lap – down the stairs up the other set of stairs. Taking 2 steps every step. Instead of plank and wait – it was BLIMP and wait.
Then we circled up for ROXANNE by the Police- Merk/Plank Jack a thon. Every Roxanne do a merk. Every Red Light do a plank jack. Inspired by Maverick.
Then we did another lap – BLIMP and wait at the top.
Then we circled up for a quick – Leg raises x 20, Russian Twist x 20, Roaches x 20, Hip Dips x 10 left and x 10 right
Down the stairs to FREAK NASTY alley. Where we dip.
At Freak Nasty alley I played Da’Dip (3 verses about 3 min). Every time he said:
I put my hand upon your hip
When I dip you dip we dip
You put your hand upon my hip
When you dip I dip we dip
I put my hand upon your hip
When I dip you dip we dip
We did 9 dips. When he “sang” the verses we held a high dip position. After about 3 min I noticed we were losing a few- so I decided to cut it. Happy I got to educate these knuckleheads on the pre-bounce era of booty shakin’ hip hop. We ended up doing about 30-40 dips.
Circled up to the lawn right next to Freak Nasty Alley. Here we did 15 donkey kicks right leg, 15 donkey kicks left leg, 15 fire hydrants right leg, 15 fire hydrants left leg. Then we mini mosey’d under the parking garage. Here we did merkin’ round the clock. 10 merks at 12 oclock, 10 merks at 300, 10 merks at 600, and 10 merks at 900. Using the parking blocks to create a different leverage.
Finally we mosey’d back to the FLAG. At the Flag we did plank – 45 sec yankee agressor, 45 sec southern gentleman, and 30 sec mission impossible.
Always a pleasure to lead. Thanks for the opportunity.
See you in the Gloom – RY
