ELDERS REACT TO TWERKING
-
0:00 - 0:13[music plays]
-
0:13 - 0:16First you wanna start with placing your hands on your hips
-
0:16 - 0:18Feet apart. Good.
-
0:18 - 0:20Bend your knees. Good
-
0:20 - 0:22You wanna take your thumbs and press-
-
0:22 - 0:24[Man] Wait a minute, I'll try that.
-
0:24 - 0:27Press on your back so your hips can go forward first. Okay?
-
0:27 - 0:31So you're gonna go- press, press, press, press
-
0:31 - 0:33[Older woman] Oh! It's twerking, isn't it?
-
0:33 - 0:36Is it twerking? It's twerking baby!
-
0:36 - 0:37twerk me!
-
0:37 - 0:39Oh yeah, that's it alright.
-
0:39 - 0:42Beyonce, and all the girls. Miley Cyrus
-
0:42 - 0:45[Dancer] When you actually do it, it's faster, its not as slow
-
0:45 - 0:50This isn't something you're supposed to do in public I take it
-
0:50 - 0:53She looks like she's riding a horse
-
0:53 - 0:55Yes, I see the interest now
-
0:55 - 0:59[laughter and clapping] Shake that booty!
-
0:59 - 1:04{music playing in background]
-
1:04 - 1:06A big booty there huh?
-
1:06 - 1:07Good gravy!
-
1:07 - 1:09Of course it looks good on young people
-
1:09 - 1:12I don't know about the older set
-
1:12 - 1:15Oh, oh!
-
1:15 - 1:18Oh, they need a doorway for this, a wall
-
1:18 - 1:20[laughing]
-
1:20 - 1:22Oh dear!
-
1:22 - 1:25[laughing]
-
1:25 - 1:28oh my god!
-
1:28 - 1:33I think chicks are born with this already.
-
1:33 - 1:37oh ho ho ho ho! I'm in love
-
1:37 - 1:43Oh that's Miley in that funny rabbit suit or whatever it is
-
1:43 - 1:46Ain't got no shame honey
-
1:46 - 1:54Oh I'm sure their parents are so proud
-
1:54 - 1:57OH! GOLLY!!
-
1:57 - 2:01That's a little bit different from the stuff I used to do
-
2:01 - 2:02Wow
-
2:02 - 2:05I could watch it over and over [laughter]
-
2:05 - 2:09I don't think that's gonna make it in a retirement home
-
2:09 - 2:11[off camera voice] So how would you describe that dance?
-
2:11 - 2:12Crazy
-
2:12 - 2:13Very sexy
-
2:13 - 2:15Purely sexual
-
2:15 - 2:16I wouldn't like my daughter doing it
-
2:16 - 2:17Old fashioned butt shaking
-
2:17 - 2:18[Off camera voice] Can you do the dance for us?
-
2:18 - 2:20Oh absolutely not!
-
2:20 - 2:21Oh I couldn't do that!
-
2:21 - 2:22I can't move like that, bro!
-
2:22 - 2:25My bottom just doesn't go that way! [laughing]
-
2:25 - 2:27It's too sexy
-
2:27 - 2:29You guys aren't prepared for me
-
2:29 - 2:31Of course!
-
2:31 - 2:33[music playing]
-
2:33 - 2:37[man singing]
-
2:37 - 2:39hey hey!
-
2:39 - 2:42Oh god! well I think I better forget about that.
-
2:42 - 2:44[Off camera voice] What would you call this dance?
-
2:44 - 2:44Booty bounce
-
2:44 - 2:45Booty rump
-
2:45 - 2:47Butts for sale
-
2:47 - 2:48Sexy let's get it on
-
2:48 - 2:51oh, how to upset your mom? I don't know [laughing]
-
2:51 - 2:56Tweaking twerking warking...trekking...something like that
-
2:56 - 2:58[Off camera voice] They call it twerking
-
2:58 - 3:01Oh honey...is that to go along with tweeting?
-
3:01 - 3:03Oh I've heard of twerking!
-
3:03 - 3:05Oh that's the twerking thing I heard about.
-
3:05 - 3:07Some kids got in trouble for that. And I can understand
-
3:07 - 3:09[Off camera voice] So do you like the dance?
-
3:09 - 3:09No
-
3:09 - 3:10Not particularly
-
3:10 - 3:12Oh yeah. I loved it
-
3:12 - 3:13It's very sexy!
-
3:13 - 3:14I'm a guy!
-
3:14 - 3:17Yeah, I like the dance. I like rhythm, you know.
-
3:17 - 3:18And I like girls
-
3:18 - 3:20I guess if I was, you know,
-
3:20 - 3:22finishing off an ol' pitcher of beer at a strip club
-
3:22 - 3:23it'd look pretty good
-
3:23 - 3:26I like the fact that it emphasizes that big bottoms-
-
3:26 - 3:30-which I have one too- are not to be hidden
-
3:30 - 3:32or ashamed of
-
3:32 - 3:34Oh. Who could not like that?
-
3:34 - 3:39As guys, we can look at an ankle or a wrist
-
3:39 - 3:40and get excited, let alone a booty!
-
3:40 - 3:43Upside-down, shaking in tune with music
-
3:43 - 3:46Hello! I mean, we'd explode
-
3:46 - 3:48[explosion noise]
-
3:48 - 3:51[Off camera voice] There are people, and some of the more teenagers
-
3:51 - 3:54that are twerking, and they are posting it for the public to see, on the internet
-
3:54 - 3:55What do you think about that?
-
3:55 - 3:57Just don't leave your name and address and telephone number
-
3:57 - 4:01I guess it's not AS bad as posting STRAIGHT pornography
-
4:01 - 4:03I think when they go to have a job,
-
4:03 - 4:06and someone goes online, they could be in BIG trouble
-
4:06 - 4:08When I was in high school and college
-
4:08 - 4:09I was a dancing fool
-
4:09 - 4:13But we didnt have it where, like, you upload it somewhere
-
4:13 - 4:14and then its there for posterity
-
4:14 - 4:18They can put this up on youtube and get the whole world looking at them
-
4:18 - 4:21and it makes them feel important
-
4:21 - 4:24I suspect though, that down deep theres something more important missing
-
4:24 - 4:26We saw these kinds of dances
-
4:26 - 4:30These gals did these very exotic sexual dances
-
4:30 - 4:35Uh, and that was in feature films back in the 30s, 40s, and 50s
-
4:35 - 4:37So, has it really changed?
-
4:37 - 4:39[Off camera voice] What was dancing like when you were younger?
-
4:39 - 4:41It was Arthur Murray!
-
4:41 - 4:43It was very elegant
-
4:43 - 4:44We did, like the jitterbug
-
4:44 - 4:46the jitterbug, or swing
-
4:46 - 4:50We usually asked the band, hey can you play something we can dance to?
-
4:50 - 4:53And that's like SLOW AND OLD FOGEY!
-
4:53 - 4:57Did you know, the twist came out when I was in middle school
-
4:57 - 4:59and my parents didnt really approve
-
4:59 - 5:01Oh it was much different from that!
-
5:01 - 5:04Ed Sullivan had to show Elvis from the waist up!
-
5:04 - 5:10Because he just gyrated a little bit of love
-
5:10 - 5:13These girls are giving it away to the lowest bidder!
-
5:13 - 5:15[Off camera voice] Back when you were a teenager,
-
5:15 - 5:17if some girl suddenly started twerking at a school dance,
-
5:17 - 5:19what would the administration have done to that student?
-
5:19 - 5:24Oh they'd be facing counseling with the principal and their parents and all that immediately
-
5:24 - 5:28When I was a kid if someone did that, nobody would have known what the hell to do
-
5:28 - 5:31Oh I bet that kid would have been dragged out by his ear!
-
5:31 - 5:32They'd have paddled them.
-
5:32 - 5:34And you know what, I think we should go back to that
-
5:34 - 5:37These parents, spare the rod and spoil the child
-
5:37 - 5:40We've got a lot of spoilage going around
-
5:40 - 5:43[Off camera voice] Well some schools have suspended students for twerking and posting the videos
-
5:43 - 5:45Good for them!
-
5:45 - 5:47But their parents are probably going in and saying
-
5:47 - 5:50"How dare you do that to my child? My child has the right to twerk!"
-
5:50 - 5:55[Off camera voice] When you see things like this, what does it make you think about if you were a young person today?
-
5:55 - 5:56Oh I wouldn't want to be one
-
5:56 - 5:58It's too complicated now
-
5:58 - 6:03If I had to raise a young person, I mean, I'd be pretty, like- it's- its a daunting task
-
6:03 - 6:05I actually think its kinda sad
-
6:05 - 6:10There's such pressure on you to dress a certain way, and dance a certain way
-
6:10 - 6:17My hats off to you younger generation. You're getting 50 times the information that we got
-
6:17 - 6:21[Off camera voice] What advice would you give to parents out there of how to talk to their kids about twerking?
-
6:21 - 6:23Parents don't like to talk to their children!
-
6:23 - 6:26Parents that would allow their kids to do this?
-
6:26 - 6:29I'm not sure advice is of any value to them
-
6:29 - 6:33You can't say "You can't do this" because that just makes it more difficult
-
6:33 - 6:35They would do it behind your back
-
6:35 - 6:40I would let the kid know your advertising...sex
-
6:40 - 6:41so be very careful
-
6:41 - 6:47Try to reach their conscience. Do they understand the movements and what they mean
-
6:47 - 6:51And ask them if this is really how they want to be presenting themselves
-
6:51 - 6:53Of course they'd probably say "Sure, yeah."
-
6:53 - 6:55[Off camera voice] So finally, should people out there twerk?
-
6:55 - 6:56No, I don't think so
-
6:56 - 6:58It all depends on the age
-
6:58 - 6:59I say go for it!
-
6:59 - 7:03Should they? We're not gonna legislate on twerking are we?
-
7:03 - 7:07They can go whatever they want as long as they're not hurting anyone other than themselves
-
7:07 - 7:09And you might be hurting yourself by doing that.
-
7:09 - 7:11You might strain a hip!
-
7:11 - 7:12Not in public.
-
7:12 - 7:21If you're waving your private parts in people's faces, you've exposed yourself in a way that isn't decent
-
7:21 - 7:23You've gotta have some dignity
