CELEBRATE DANCE 1995--Man4Man: "Swimmininum"

I think this was my 1st (?and only?, ?other than paid community gigs?) time choreographing a group piece in which I was not dancing. It was absolutely gobs and Gobs of FUN!!! The introduction was made correctly; the lighting was good. It was great to see. I hope you have fun watching it. The bows and the curtain call are kind of fun, but I won't be offended if you stop watching after the main reason for this upload, which is the men's piece. Did I mention it was loads of fun, working on this thing? Okay, that's all.

ps--In today's PC world, I apologize for the fat joke at the end of the song, but please keep in mind that this song was written more than a half-century ago. Sensibilities were not then what they are today. I've dated several women in the "200+" club, and all of them were quite beautiful. M.


Dancers: Blaine Washington, James (Jamie) Truxon, Mark Groll, Joseph (Joe) Lehman.

Lyrics:
Hey, Jerry!
Hey, Tony!
Whenever I see water, the fresh kind or salt, I want to dive right in it. It isn't my fault. Atlantic, Pacific, both look good to me. You can't keep me out of the beautiful sea.
I love to go swimmin' with wimmin, and wimmim love swimmin' with me. I pretend that I'm a crab, and their pretty ankles grab. Who wouldn't be a lobster in the sea. For peaches'll fall on the beaches, and pickin' 'em's my specialty. I get that navy notion, when I see floating queens. I dive right in the ocean, and I play "submarines". I love to go swimmin' with wimmin, and wimmin love swimmin' with me!

Didja hear? My Sister married an Irishman.
Oh, really?
No, O'Reilly.

My wife says that if I don't give up betting on the horses, she'll leave me.
Awwww, too bad.
Yeah, I'm gonna miss her.

Good morning, City Hall. May I help you?
Yeah, I'd like a job.
Tell me, what can you do?
Nothing.
Great! We won't have to train you!

How are you, Mr. Cohen?
Aaahhh, my Brother is so sick. I can't tell you...
Is he?!?
No, Max.

Say, tell me, how did you get that bump on your head?
Aaaah, my wife threw a brick at me.
Didn't you duck?
Yeah, but she "allowed for it".

Is this Cohen, Cohen, Cohen & Cohen?
Yes.
Let me speak to Mr. Cohen.
Mr. Cohen is dead. We keep the name on the sign out of respect.
Well, then, let me speak to Mr. Cohen.
Sorry, he's in a meeting.
Well, then, let me speak to Mr. Cohen!
Sorry, he's on vacation in Florida.
Well, then, let me speak to Mr. COHEN!!
Speaking.

For peaches will fall on the beaches, and pickin' 'em's my specialty.

Boy, is my new girl fat.
How fat is she?
She's so fat that I made fifteen bucks yesterday at the beach, rentin' her out for shade!

I get that navy notion, when I see floating queens. I dive right in the ocean, and I play "submarines". I love to go swimmin' with wimmin, and wimmin love swimmin' with--wimmin love swimmin' with me!

That's All!
