Drink Milk Now or You’ll Have A Heart Attack Doing Jumpstyle at 75

You know how old people always dance to, well, old music? That’s because it’s the music they grew up with. They didn’t have rock, hip-hop, trance, disco, new age and they certainly didn’t have Jumpstyle.

According to this Duval Guillaume-created commercial for the Agricultural Marketing Board of Flanders, “People always dance to music from their youth.” We see a loving old couple dancing to some old tune and then…quick cut…to two dudes doing Jumpstyle with the tag, “So you know what’s awaiting you. Start drinking milk.”

Did we or did we not tell you eight months ago this dance craze would soon appear in an ad? Oh yes we did, brotha!

Angela and I learned Jumpstyle today. If you’re lucky, you’ll get to see us do it at the next ad conference. It should be good for a laugh.
