I wish I was brave enough to say something as rude and matter-of-fact.Ġ:45 I take that back. I may have incepted the premise for this video in the director’s brain 30 years ago.Ġ:44 What’s beef? “‘Cause your friends don’t dance, and if they don’t dance, well, they’re no friends of mine.” Straight ETHER. This Man Without Hat and I are kindred spirits.Ġ:41 AHHH, IT’S A MAYPOLE CIVIL RIGHTS PARTY. PLEASE.Ġ:38 Every time I’ve told an authority figure that I was going to continue to dance as I wanted to, I’ve made this exact face. Is this song about standing up for your right to dance uniquely? Please say this video is all about civil rights. They’re making the “S” shape with their arms, a.k.a. Assuming all of these questions will be answered shortly.Ġ:35 YES. Don’t mess this up.Ġ:29 boom boom ba ba boom boom boom ba ba boom boom ba ba boom boom boom ba ba.Ġ:31 A little curious about the dog and the puppet show and whether the man with the hair is, in fact, one of the Men Without Hats. Maybe not.Ġ:14 This song is incredible, just as a reminder.Ġ:15 Garden gnome has found a lady to dance with in this village they’ve stumbled upon. I could easily find out, but have chosen to just let the answer come my way organically. They’re definitely headed somewhere filled with wonderment.Ġ:09 I’m hoping this video somehow sheds some light on the name “Men Without Hats.” I’ve long wondered what that meant. I wonder where they’re headed?Ġ:08 One of these little fellers is a garden gnome, I believe. Just know that.]Ġ:02 Look at that luxurious grass.

If you have an idea for a future episode of Rembert Explains the ’80s, e-mail us at This song is everything to me. This week’s installment was suggested by EVERYONE: “The Safety Dance” (long version) by Men Without Hats. Rembert will write down his thoughts as he’s watching the video, then we’ll post those thoughts here. Every so often, we’ll e-mail 25-year-old Rembert Browne a video from the 1980s that he hasn’t seen. Welcome back to our series Rembert Explains the ’80s.
