I saw my Dad over the weekend and he said he had a great idea for the Father - Daughter dance.  I was have to admit, I felt like his choice of song would be so bad it might make me cry (not really).  Maybe a little Englebert Humperdinck?  Yes, I remember a time in the 80's where my Dad listened to him a lot and my sister and I would hide from embarrassment in our own house

But it wasn't Mr. Humperdinck he longed to boggie to.  Then I thought, something a little more Sri-Lankan.  Perhaps this?

I couldn't find the song I was looking for but the verse my sister and I used to sing and laugh to was, " Welcome, Welcome, to Sri-Lanka.  You're most welcome to Sri-Lanka."  It wasn't the song that used to make us laugh.  It was the sight of my Dad prancing around the house to it. 
"Welcome to Sri-Lanka," wasn't his choice of song either.  What did he decide?  Well, he wants to do the Twist and you know, I might to the twist with him.  I think the whole thing represents us so well.  Strange and crazy Father - Daughter duo that we are. 
I wasn't entirely convinced that doing the twist would be our Father - Daughter dance until I saw this clip that Mr. Joey's mom sent me.  I might be sold now.  OK Dad.  I'm ready to get my groove on.

I can see Mr. Joey cringing already but at least I'm not making him do the twist.  What song did you and your Dad dance to?
