Wilson Pickett

Wilson Pickett (March 18, 1941 – January 19, 2006) was an American singer and songwriter.

A major figure in the development of soul music, Pickett recorded over 50 songs which made the US R&B charts, many of which crossed over to the Billboard Hot 100. Among his best-known hits are "In the Midnight Hour" (which he co-wrote), "Land of 1000 Dances", "634-5789 (Soulsville, U.S.A.)", "Mustang Sally", "Funky Broadway", "Engine No. 9", and "Don't Knock My Love".

Pickett was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1991, in recognition of his impact on songwriting and recording.

Lyrics:

One-two-three
One-two-three
Ow, uh, alright, uh!

Got to know how to pony
Like Bony Maronie
Mashed potato
Do the alligator
Put your hand on your hips, yeah
Let your backbone slip
Do the watusi
Like my little Lucy
Hey!

Uh, na-na-na-na-na na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na, I need somebody to help me say it one time
Na-na-na-na-na na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na, wo-ow!

Wow!
Uh, you know I feel alright
Ha, feel pretty good y'all
Uh, huh!

Na-na-na-na-na na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na, come on y'all, let's say it one more time
Na-na-na-na-na na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na, wo-ow!

Twist it in the alley
With long tall Sally
Twistin' with Lucy
Doin' the watusi

Roll over on your back
I like it like that
Do that Jerk-ah
Watch me work y'all

Ow, do it
Wow, do it
Just watch me do it

Aah, help me
Aah, help me
Aah, help me
Aah, help me

This must be in honor of Kalamandalam Hemaletha: According to a report in the Washington Post Express for 2011.01.07 (page 6):

7,395: The number of minutes danced nonstop by a 37-year old Indian woman to earn the Guinness record for the longest dance, Guinness World Record officials confirmed Thursday. Kalamandalam Hemaletha practiced for 10 hours a day and ran 28 miles to build stamina, and then performed in September her record-setting 123-hour, 15-minute Mohiniyattam, one of the eight Indian classical dance forms.
