Mexican Breakfast, Helpfully Explained

UPDATE: credit where credit's due! corey smithson, the creator of this video -- the one who came up with the amazing captions -- contacted me a few weeks ago!

for some reason, youtube deleted this video from his own acount, but has so far allowed it to stay up on mine. corey has been gracious enough to allow me to keep the video up here, too -- thanks, man.

according to his website, corey is a multimedia artist currently living in brooklyn, nyc. his account on youtube is /CoreyMichaelSmithson -- there are five of his videos there. you can also check more of his work at http://www.coreymichaelsmithson.com. his art is very intense and some videos are SERIOUSLY nsfw.

no copyright malpractice intended here -- this choreography by bob fosse shows where the "inspiration" for the now infamous single l@diez (make a carbon copy of it) video came from.

Wow, there is so much hate in these comments. Its terrible. Beyonce didn't rip anything off. She WAS inspired by this dance. And she does give credit where credit is due...if you have seen any interview Beyonce has done about Single Ladies she says that she was inspired by "Mexican Breakfast." Get real, ya'll. And as for all of this black vs white people craziness.....nevermind, its not worth commenting on. Just enjoy the video, people!

To all of saying beYAWNcey claimed to be inspired by this dance, there is a big difference being inspired by something and flat out copying something. Clearly copied.

Did not even read the captions because I was too busy watching the dance. One of the best dance numbers ever. Fosse rocked.

history repeats itself.

@msmoeliss Not all was copied.

Inspiration is one thing. Stealing dance moves is another. Some of the moves in Single Ladies were straight from this. I could see if Beyonce got the idea of "I could do something simple like this; just me and two others in a plain background." But she took more than "inspiration" from it. Then only mentioned it AFTER she'd been called on it. As a dancer, I noticed it right away. And I say this as a fan.

By the way, the captions are hilarious. "Homeland Security, bitch!" Lol
