Video of the Day: Dancin' on the Brooklyn Bridge

Davey “Dance” Fishel has danced his way around the world, and landed back in his hometown of New York. Armed only with an iPod, a famous landmark, a Canon PowerShot, and the gift of improvised dance...he's moved his feet just about everywhere. Now he's got some amazing footage to show the grandkids one day, and of course to share with the rest of us now. Here's a dance number filmed at Coney Island, and below from the Brooklyn Bridge (complete with back-up dancers and disaffected passerby):

Now I know what a hipster having a seizure looks like.

when this guy is old and grey, he will have these records of him living it up in front of some of NYC's most vibrant landmarks. what will you haters have?

The song is "New York Groove," by Ace Frehley. A bit of an oddball disco number from the KISS guitarist. But a personal NYC favorite.

As for the haters, sheesh. Just goes to show that no matter how much fun something is, someone ostensibly cooler will be watching with a spiteful, sophisticated, and jaded eye. What's wrong with you people?

No not the best dancer in the world, but it still made me smile.

The http://www.wherethehellismatt.com/ one is much more interesting. Better places and better shot composition. Wow, that guy really gets around.

On a side note, I can't believe I just watched three of these things (and am now commenting about them). I obviously have way too much time on my hands. Maybe you do too.

There's some other, much less hip but equally douchy guy who's been doing the same thing for years:

Nothing beats two versions of the same lame thing.
