Christopher Walken dances to “Come and Get Your Love”
This video absolutely freaks me out, but what do you expect with **Christopher Walken**? I didn't know the man even danced, but I recall that when a reader posted the video in the comments not long ago, they added that Walken was once a dancer. Indeed, *Wikipedia* notes that "Walken initially trained as a dancer at the Washington Dance Studio before moving on to dramatic stage roles and then film." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Walken And what a song to make the man move his bones! Yes, there are stunt doubles in there, but most of the hoofing is done by Walken himself. I had forgotten who did that song, which really is a toe-tapper, so I looked it up, finding that it was done in 1974 by **Redbone**, the first Native American band to have a big hit (this song went to the top 4 on Billboard). Here's a live performance of "**Come and Get Your Love**", written by two of the band members, Pat and Lolly Vegas (Lolly is the lead singer, Pat on bass). Oddly, it starts with 45 seconds of an Indian dance. **The lyrics are strange and enigmatic**, but the tune and performance are great, which of course is why Walken danced to it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redbone_(band) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Come_and_Get_Your_Love https://genius.com/Redbone-come-and-get-your-love-lyrics Need sponsors
