When I hear certain songs, I automatically think of certain moves. Mostly because I've watched a certain YouTube clip a thousand times and it's simply reflex to think 'this move to that part' of the music.
For instance, whenever I hear "Communication" by Slim Gaillard, I see Jo's feet doing the piano part starting at about 2:00.
Or whenever "Hit That Jive, Jack" gets played, I almost always end up slapping my leg (ex: 0:14).
Can you tell that I've watched this video a ton? I've only posted it three times now.
Or whenever I hear "Gang Busters" by Slim and Slam, I think of this:
I'm sure there are more songs that create automatic associations in my brain, but you get the gist of what I'm saying.
Maybe this is another reason why my friend doesn't like watching dancing clips (referring to this post)? By having these automatic associations to the music, I'm prevented from letting my body simply dance out the music. Instead, I've created for myself mini routines.
What do you think? Have you ever experienced this? Is it good/bad/neutral to have these automatic associations to certain songs? Let me know what you think.
Hey look - it's me! <3
ReplyDeleteI have that association also with this song, Cassie. It was a fun one to get in this comp because it is so dynamic and there's lots to play with in it.
I also wish I could go back and change some of the stuff I did in this minute and a half! ;) But c'est la vie..
And ps - that Alice & Tommy clip to Hit That Jive.. I can't get enough. I've watched it a bunch, too.
