I think you meant to include quotes around "dancing."

It's showing at Disneyland RIGHT NOW, fools.
Hard to imagine she willingly played that role, she's so shrill.
Every sports film is a tired cliche-fest—that's part of what Stone is riffing on.
I think that adds to its glory. The script, the look, the acting—everything is done in an obnoxious, larger-than-life way that perfectly matches the shrill tone of actual NFL games. It's almost too much to bear, but then so is sitting through a modern football game on TV. Too bright, too loud, too self-satisfied…
Fuck off, troll.
Oliver Stone's "Any Given Sunday" makes all the same critical points, but shines far brighter in that hyperbolically awesome way that only Stone (during his heyday) could pull off. That it also includes one of the most rousing and emotional pro-football speeches (from Al Pacino, no less), makes it the far superior…
You're not "to" literate, either.
I used to ask for "She's So Cold" by the Stones at the skating rink (yes, I'm older than Methuselah), and they wouldn't play it because it says "goddamn cold."
I never met one person in my 20 years in the south—and I've got some deep-woods cousins—who ever said one thing about Northern oppression or some desire to secede. Never not one.
So you're telling an entire group of people to "shut up" based on your admittedly uninformed idea about what you think they're thinking? You're prejudiced by your ignorance against people different from you?
Just because one person reads this nonsense into it doesn't mean that's what the song is about. It's about beating the devil, full stop.
I lived in the South until I was 20, always loved this song and never heard any Southerner put this spin on it. It's about whipping the devil's ass.
Just like your mom.
Next time it comes on I hope you do.
And the superior drum and bass version (really), here at 4 minutes:
You've really ridden your douchebag troll train to the end of the line in this thread, huh?
Just because a culture has a flaw doesn't make the whole culture flawed. I was raised by a 100% liberal family in Georgia, but we still all took pride in our Southern Culture, the food, the songs; etc.
Slow it down, bro, they're dissing Wallace in the song.
What's ambiguous about that? You've explained the obvious meaning of those lines.
