Apparently she's watching the Lawrence Welk 3D Striptease video.

These put-yourself-in-their-shoes videos never quite work because the reverse-racism just rolls off our privileged backs. How would I feel about a white party where people of color purposely danced badly to Lawrence Welk or some shit? Meh. Knock yourself out!

Don had me spending my allowance on Mowtown and Stax 45's along with all the great rock n' Roll during the same time-Never got to see black folks showin' out before on television before the Soul Train started making regular stops-Where I lived it was usually on Sunday afternoon at about 4-5 pm, after Wide Woirld of Sports or right before another great Sunday favor4ite, The Lawrence Welk Show, which showcased some of the hottest white-bread talent ever to thrill the perennial, un-hip.

See, geeks in the old days children, listened to some really square shit. Don Ho.
Burl Ives or some Frankie Laine or Montavanni. Oh, and allll of someones parents had at least three soundtracks from some popular musical from the 60's in their musty collection, along with one or two lame folk records recorded BY white folks(coked-up) in America, for the same (Joe and Mary blow), kind of like you youngsters all do now , but with a much more socially acceptable veneer of status-quo wholesomeness(terminal squareness)-

Oh and Don Cornelius? What most folks never dreamed was how, before there was internet porn or white folks wandering into black churches for the music and hip-shakin', you were able to land the longest-running syndicated (35 seasons, 2nd only to Pat Robertson's, The 700 Club) weekly television show where a LARGE MAJORITY of the viewing audience were white males between the ages of 12 and 67, tuning in every week after getting pumped-up on testosterone to watch some fine-ass, booty-groovin', soul sisters command the nation with gyration.

Sad to know you couldn't take the pain any more Don-Watched your last broadcast back in the mid nineties. Amazing brother indeed. Almost never missed a show for ten years straight.

From Wiki:

Their song "One Toke Over The Line" was performed on The Lawrence Welk Show, a television program known for its conservative, family-oriented bent, by a duo known as "Gail and Dale." At the conclusion of the performance of the song, Welk remarked, without any hint of humor, "There you've heard a modern spiritual by Gail and Dale."

This led Michael Brewer to comment:

The Vice President of the United States, Spiro Agnew, named us personally as a subversive to American youth, but at exactly the same time Lawrence Welk performed the crazy thing and introduced it as a gospel song. That shows how absurd it really is. Of course, we got more publicity than we could have paid for.

And the ones I couldn't sift:

Betty White Digital Short.

Dotty O'Donoguey is 90 years old.

MacGruber's Grandmother.

Lawrence Welk Show parody.

Bronx Beat.

Gingey.

And, although it doesn't have Betty in it, the Debbie Downer skit was pretty good, too, as was the Weekend Update.

Manualism is definitely real. Used to see it on Heehaw when I was a kid. Saw a guy do it on Lawrence Welk a couple of times too.

My grandparents loved Lawrence Welk

I love some Lawrence Welk.

also, don't miss the opposite:

Lawrence Welk meets Velvet Underground

up vote for your comment and reference to Lawrence Welk. Oh and that I love Soundgarden

....the very idea,..some metalheads are in a quandry about Lyle Lovett's purpose, ..the discriminating Mantovani listener, who used to wonder what Sunday afternoons were going to be like without Lawrence Welk, now sit around in their polyester jumpers, on plastic covered furniture, wondering...."What is the point of a Man, who looks like a woman, singing a song about making love to a vampire?".....perception, huh, marinara...You Moog Man....
