Early in 2007, I came across this video on veoh.com of this little boy Jason dancing up a storm to "Everybody Dance Now" by C&C Music Factory. It was sooo cute had to save it on my hard drive!
Months later I noticed that it was no longer to be found on Veoh that made me sad, because it was so entertaining! This little kid could be the next Mick Jagger. Anyway recently I decided to take the footage and do a little of my editing magic on it. The multitude of encoding and re-encoding take a little away from it but I think you will find it quite enjoyable never the less. I lost the link to the belly dancer, and some of the other scenes are from Burning man a few years ago.
This is the result. Eventually I hope Jason will find this, or a friend will tell him.
Jason I hope you like this re-edit of your groovy dance! Also the music has been digitally altered to give it the Phil Specter "wall of sound" effect, bringing about a much more exciting sound.
Update: I made contact with Jason and his mom. Here is what his mon said: "... I loved your video. I never knew when I first recorded it and put it on the Internet that so many people would think it was so funny. Thank you for your video! I could not stop laughing. I have tried to get a few television networks to pick it up, but have not been successful, yet! Thanks again!!
And here is what Jason said: "It was funny and amazing!" He also said, "Now I am a star!"
Indeed you are Jason!
Update November-2007 Jason's original video has disappeared once again from YouTube and
his mom didn't do it. I don't know if YouTube removed it... Will keep you all updated.

To peacefulgem:
Thank you so much for your enthusiasm and complement! I will probably redo this video for DVD quality. Did you save a higher quality copy on your hard drive? If so I would like a copy.

I think the copy I have is the same that is on here. :)

Hi Peacefulgem. When you download a video to youtube it is re-encoded. Each time a video goes through an encoding, picture quality is lost. So if you still have that same video on your harddrive it's quality will be better
