Angry Dance…er, Run
Inspired by Special Ops’ list of the same thing, I’d like to share the greatest workout song of all time: “Angry Dance” from Billy Elliot.
Yes, it’s musical theatre. And, yes, I’m partial to this show. But the lighting-like tapping and the fact that some British kid is grunting, kicking, and screaming obscenities such as “Fuckin’ hell!” “Come on!” and “C’mon you fucking pigs! You want some of this?”, you feel like a right wanker if you stop running…mostly because a 12-year-old kid just beat your ass to the finish line.
By the way, this is Liam Mower’s take on it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Il_ktgmTcEs
And this is the original scene from the movie that inspired it: http://youtube.com/watch?v=UOGBTFFxOpY
Peter Darling choreographed both.
