Jump on it

So back when I worked for the Corporation That Shall Not Be Named, I had to find entertainment in the most mundane events in order to keep my sanity. That included, but was not limited to, my Mormon cube neighbor singing "talk to me boy" from Justin Timberlake's Rock Your Body in a perfect falsetto, free fruit snacks at 3 p.m. every day and flirtatious emails with a strangely attractive yet still undeniably ugly coworker. Without these little funsies, I would have time to realize that I worked 12 hour days for $27,000 a year, and then I would sink into a deep depression.

During this dark period, I received a forward from my hilarious Icelandic coworker Eva. I'm sure the email said something like, "if this doesn't get you through the day, I don't know what will." And when I clicked on the attachment, a video popped up showing what you would see on the jumbotron during the halftime show of a basketball game. There's music playing (Jump On It) and random people shaking their groove thangs. Little kids bashing together thunder sticks. And then the camera pans to a gray-haired guy who looks perfectly normal....but wait....what's he doing? He's dancing LIKE A MANIAC.

I can't put it into words. You really just have to watch it. And the other day, I really HAD to watch it because I was feeling a little down and a little under the weather. Yet after searching high and low I couldn't find the email that contained the URL. So I emailed Johanna, because I knew she had it saved somewhere in case of emergency. I think my desperation is palpable in the email I sent her:

Do you still have the URL for that video of the guy dancing to "jump on it" during the halftime show...?
I took dayquil and I feel really funny right now. That has nothing to do with wanting to see the video though.

And her response:
if you go to youtube, type in gay halftime basketball (i kid you not) and you can find it.

Of course when I went to YouTube and typed in those words, I was confronted with a bunch of videos, but none of them were The video. The search continued. But after a well-spent 30 minutes of googling, I found him.

And here he is! Love of my life! A couple things to note: is he wearing a t-shirt with the silhouette of a naked women? Like you might see on the mud flap of an 18-wheeler? Also look out for the funky moves in which he uses the bottom of his shirt as a prop.
