The enigmatic fellow who goes only by the moniker “Jim The Dancer” has been making YouTube videos for a few years now of his totally off the wall freaky dancing. Some of them have been viewed 5 times, while others have been seen a few thousand times. He doesn’t seem to care. He just keeps making them. There are well over 400 by now.

Jim’s motto is “We’re fools whether we dance or not, so we might as well dance.” I can’t argue with that, but lest you think I’m mocking his, er, singular art form, I’m really not. I’m laughing with Jim, not at him. It takes guts to act this fucking idiotic and not care. He’s clearly having a good time with it.

Hey, people thought Jack Smith was nuts fifty years ago. Today his work is celebrated in museums.

Jim’s musical selections are pretty off-kilter, too.

First up, Jim The Dancer interprets Lalo Schiffren’s opening theme for Enter the Dragon. This one was put up just a few hours ago and has only had one view.

This is the first one that I saw, perhaps my favorite of his clips.

Abba’s “S.O.S.”:
 

 
Bachman-Turner Overdrive’s “You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet”:
 

 
And so on… It’s only a matter of time before Jim is invited on Britain’s Got Talent, isn’t it?
