Happy 4th! Sing. Dance. Celebrate.

by Marcus on July 4, 2008

It’s the day we celebrate our country–and frankly, I feel a bit like dancing with the world today. This guy named Matt beat me to it. (And 4,000,000 other people beat me to the youtube clip, but I’m sharing it here anyway; hat tip to Karl Edwards for sharing this with me on Facebook.)

(Go to Youtube and click under the video to watch in high quality.)

Or if Matt dancing is too not American enough for you, try the muppets. Can’t go wrong with that. (Hat tip to Steve McCoy and Slashfilm.)

Yeah, I love this clip. Perhaps the best one is the demilitarized zone in North Korea with no one dancing and just a guard there.

We often forget about how many things are right about this country of ours…it isn’t perfect, but “God still sheds his grace on” us.

Randy Kilgore wrote a really great piece here about the things we forget:

One beautifully scripted sentence is, “In a majestic and oft-times fumbling dance, even now played out in mind-numbing and frequently frustrating two-steps-forward-one–step-back rhythm, we still fight hard to find a way to not just speak that truth, but to be that truth.”

Deviant muppets. My favorite kind.
