Just look at _American Bandstand_ clips from the 50s. There have always been out-of-time people, and sadly, there always will be. It makes gems like this even better though :)

[@madzster2008]

Yeah. Nowadays, it is hard to come by a beat as strong as this one. Its like the radio doesn't play music no more, only auto-tune.
