Thank you Huffington Post video editor Mr. Ben Craw. Who doesn’t want to see a mashup compilation video of Christopher Walken with all his glorious dance moves to the tune of Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now) by C&C Music Factory?
Craw points out that prior to becoming a film actor, Walken trained as a dancer at the Washington Dance Studio. This would explain where he got some of his moves. But to think that he’s danced in so many movies is hard to believe.
Walken has played some serious roles in his prolific film career. Just think about how terrifying he was in the True Romance trailer scene with Dennis Hopper. However, there’s always been a lightness to Walken despite his sometimes sinister casting.
Remember the amazing Spike Jonze directed MTV classic Weapon of Choice by Fatboy Slim’s back in 2001?
The viral video mashup is comprised of 57 films that feature Walken working a groove.
The only thing this Christopher Walken dance montage needs is more cowbell. http://t.co/jaN6YQT4O8
