This is absolutely DELIGHTFUL! This totally encapsulates how ridiculous this show was. I love that Adam West was staring into my soul at the beginning of the vid. The piano playing in the middle to go along with the music was really clever, and I like how this whole vid kind of highlights that the "action" and "fighting" was really just very choreographed dancing, lol. Thank you so much for making this for me, anon festividder!!! I love this so much. <33333

[valoise]

Groovy and surreal, just like the show.

[leanwellback]

Delightfully campy, you really captured the fun of the show! Great stuff :D

[cupidsbow]

Hahahahaha! I always forget just how zany this show was, but here it is, in all it's glory. :)

[settiai]

Hee! This was wonderful, and the song choice was inspired!

[runawaynun]

I forgot how much dancing was on that show. And really, nothing is better than the batusi. ;)

[alba17]

Hahaha, this is awesome, great idea. That show was so ridiculous. And Liberace guest starred too, lol.

[purplefringe]

Awwww! This is dorky and delightful and I love it :-D

[revolutionaryjo]

Direct hit to my "silly dancing" vids weakness! Loved it!

[odessie]

Delightfully bonkers, love it.

[were_duck]

What a delight! I loved the timing and the clip choices were pure magic! :D

[axiom_of_stripe]

holy amazing choreography, batvidder!

[starlady]

You even got Liberace. Awesomeness.

[semielliptical]

Truly inspired! Perfectly campy and fun.

[frayadjacent]

The campiness is indeed delightful. And as a vidder I find matching dancing to my vidsong pretty challenging -- especially if the clip isn't super short. You did it ~really well~ for a whole song! I'm super impressed.

[swizzlespoon]

An instant fave for me, something about the combination of this song and the dancing and fighting and ridiculousness just really works for me. Your editing and clip choice is just great.

Instead of a Snoopy dance, we get the Batusi with piano music. Hee!

[franzeska]

LOL! So many bright colors! So few fight scenes that make sense!
