Angle Dance

[@solgoddess2283]

I’m 40 now and this song pops into my head at random times and it’s been like this for the last 30 some years. One of the weirdest things I’ve ever seen 😂

[@jeffkittelson6814]

I thought I was the only one. I showed it in my math class once last year. The students were not impressed

[@mkwilson1394]

I am in the exact same situation, down to age. Although you're probably 41 now. Maybe 42. Is 8% of My Love there too?

[@escottish140]

I haven't seen this show in over 20 years and yet I still remember all the lyrics to this song. Yes, I still do the Angle Dance!

[@Thashining]

Those who aren't musically inclined, and don't know about that 80's New Wave, couldn't possibly comprehend the epicness which we have just seen!

[@allysonchen4286]

Well to tell you the truth, the who show was epic. Not many shows specifically focused on math like this and I learned a lot when it came to having geometry and trig in high school.

[@phudlow]

Getting serious Split Enz - I Got You vibes from this

[@philipdefibaugh5683]

Yes I agree, you would gave had to have been there to understand it. People really dressed like this, it was New Wave which would then be borrowed by the hairbands wore wore glitter and facepaint as well. This truly is epic!

[@jonblazeinc]

​@phudlow I actually see it a little, but this reminds me so much more of A Flock Of Seagulls lol

[@tlkshowhst]

LOL, "Next hang a friend from the ceiling." This is amazing. Well written song, great voice.

This was totally one of the greatest TV shows back in the 80s. I miss it so much.

[@BexxiesTV]

Larry Cedar is made of awesome. This was the best video, from the hands-down best kids show of the 1980s. And for all of those that are disturbed by this, I can kind of understand. When I was little, it used to scare me too...but now I recognize it for the genius that it is.

[@KororaPenguin]

I finally remember who his appearance in this video reminds me of. Different actor, but in the seventh episode of _Adam-12_ Reed and Malloy answer a disturbing-the-peace call and find a New Age-y "Temple of Peace and Love" on the verge of a schism over meditation styles. One of the parties involved resembles Cedar in this vid.

[@DC322]

R.I.P Reg E. Cathey.

[@DrJekyll38]

We miss you, even with all the angles, you were no square!

[@manifestgtr]

In 1999, my high school geometry teacher showed this to my class. It caused an almost unprecedented uproar...students demanding he pause the video during the particularly orgasmic faces so we could all scream laugh. Outbursts during the particularly cheesy lyrics. We listened to a lot of Korn and Ice Cube back then...hadn’t yet fully discovered the many wonders of 80s new wave synth pop. Regardless, those were the good ole days...

[@badgtter9095]

Yes I remember those days in the 90s when we were a little bit embarrassed about the 80s. Glad we're past that now. 80s rocks!

Yes. It was greatness....

[@MikesObscureClips-sr3ni]

I just wish people were celebrating more of this side of the '80s, instead of dwelling on stuff like Journey, Bon Jovi, Bryan Adams, and Phil Collins.

[@indowneastmaine]

Let’s do some math here…(pun intended). If you were in high school in 1999, you would be old enough to remember these episodes of Square One TV airing new in the late 80s. Whether you watched them or not is another matter.

[@willn8664]

This song is so catchy.

[@chrishansen1282]

I'd give these guys a record deal, this is a lot better than the trash that passes for 'music' these days.

[@MissTKH]

Gosh, I forgot how much I used to love this! I wish I could find Square One on DVD... I'd buy that in a second!

[@tommyclark2709]

TO THIS DAY my sister and I sing this song to each other and make that freaky look the singer makes when he sings "Angle Dance.... AAANngle dance!"

[@datroof18]

Larry, if this is really you, thank you for all of your excellent work with square one. This was such a wonderful part of my childhood. You really made these songs great

[@davidellis3411]

Nevermind what Larry was on. What about Reg E Cathy's singing voice? It's so deep it's like a bottomless pit! Larry stops and stares every time Reg E has a line in the song.

[@EsmeAmelia]

This might be my favorite SQ1 song. When we were kids my brothers and I made a tape of our favorite SQ1 songs and every time we listened to it I couldn't get enough of this song. Now if only they'd RELEASE THE SHOW ON DVD!

[@madamx7422]

Jesus, after 30 years (!) I still can't look at this guy, he kept me awake for weeks after first watching this in school, lol!

[@DiamondDustProd]

WOW blast from the past. i loved square one as a kid, why isn't this on DVD yet? Mathnet was the best.

[@GetUpTheMountains]

Totally. Larry Cedar is awesome with his facial expressions in this one. Makes me wonder if they talked about how he should do them or if he just came up with them on his own. Its perfection.

[@timothycoleman2064]

Nearly two decades later and there’s no 4K enhanced version? Thank god!! This and how it should be!!

Square One was such a smart kids show! I would still watch it as much as I could if it was on these days.

[@cultureshocktv]

So glad you all love these great works in TV ... I'm the lighting designer of all the Square One televisions shows. Angle Dance is my favorite please visit cultureshocktv at youtube you'll see more. I am now producing TV and back then I did lighting design and this show was one of my favorites. Thank you all for your kind words ... there were very talented people on this show.

This, "9, 9, 9" and "Ghost of a Chance" were always my favorites. But especially this one. Very Devo. I have that exact bass sound on one of my old Yamahas and I've used it in some of my songs. Larry Cedar (the singer) was in a commercial recently. I think he was playing a priest.

[@DrJekyll38]

IDK about Devo, Larry seemed more like he was channeling Adam Ant or Oingo Boingo to me.
