If you see something say something

"Safety and Modern Dance."
Saftey and dancing. Two goals that have long been at odds with each other. For the better part of the 20th Century dancing has been, in practice, a very dangerous activity. 24 hour dance marathons caused widespread panic and death in the early part of this century. In later years, "Breakdancing" has done just that, broken bones on the bodies of the practioners and viewers. The group, Men Without Hats (another unwise proposition if you ask me) has invoked this tradition of danger with this song, which incorrectly implies saftey in numbers.
