So naturally after the new Nardwuar interview with Lil’ Wayne previously today, a brief scan of his extensive catalog of interviews led me to one he did with Common (brought back below). In it he kicks it off with his first gift: Casper’s Groovy Ghost Show – citing it from Chicago in 1980 and additionally saying he (Casper) did the “Cha Cha Slide”. You know – the “Cha Cha Slide”!?! That’s the featured video above, well, part 2 I suppose, because I did some YouTube searching of the “Cha Cha Slide” and saw that the music video was filmed in DJ Casper’s (a.k.a. Mr. C) hometown of, yes, Chicago! A lot of recognizable landmarks can be seen in the video along with a variety of people doing that dance that we couldn’t escape at weddings and events 10 years ago. Needless to say, this is a fun one to relive. But looking at the wiki’s of the “Cha Cha Slide” and DJ Casper, there’s no way that ‘Casper’s Groovy Ghost Show’ in 1980 (when DJ Casper was 9) is by the same DJ Casper who created the “Cha Cha Slide”. I don’t know, I’m still kind of confused. But whatever – both videos have contain high entertainment. Enjoy!
