Dear Mr. Weisburd,

I'm interested in this smooth dance.

I am not familiar with the song, is the movie recent? I don't see many movies, spend my time learning line dances, this one is lovely. Our group did your "Shuffle Boogie" in Texas this past winter,I bet they will like this, too. Good Job!!

Hello Luckymetoo,

The movie "Meet the Parents" came out in 2000 and this song (by Randy Newman) was nominated for an Oscar. It didn't win, however, the very next year, Randy Newman won the best song in a motion picture after being nominated 15 times.
