Seriously... so immensely talented. I remember being at a wedding in around 2005 where nearly everyone was on the dance floor wedding-dancing/semi-dancing to a fast classic, maybe "September" from Earth, Wind and Fire or something like that. Then "One More Time" started up and though most stayed on the floor to be good sports there was less dancing from the older generation. There was this one guy, probably early 80s, standing near us and he was doing a little hip sway to the beat.
Then the song got to the "why don't you play the game" break and as the music started to swell he was just kind of looking around like he expected the song to wind down and end... and then the "one more time" drop came in and I will never forget the look on his face at that moment: the guy looked startled, as if the bride had just flashed her ass at him. One beat later the startled look became one of pure wonder and delight and he started absolutely BREAKING IT DOWN which quickly inspired the other older people to break it down too. Many of the people at this wedding were from Sri Lanka (as was this old guy) and he started doing the "turn the light bulb" South Asian dance move that you may be familiar with. He looked like he had just discovered something wonderful, which I'm pretty sure he had.
