Of course, obviously we needed to give it a try on this show as well. Watch this. Everybody from someone who loves that scene in Wednesday and watched it a million times. I'm not good at that. You and I, by the way, do bar mitzvahs and us. Yes. Right, please tweet at us. But as we teased earlier, the history of Wednesday Adams being a viral trend setter goes back decades. This is the latest, it's called the Truth Yes, girlfriend get that Wednesday Adams played by lisa loring in the Tv series was getting down all the way back in 1964 in black and white. Of course, Wednesday's dances quickly became one of the most beloved parts of that show. But the song or songs attached to this new trend. Well, they're going viral for a different reason. This is very interesting. The song from the now iconic netflix scene is the 1981 track Goo goo Luck by the Cramps which is actually a cover of a song from 1962. However, as it often does. Tiktok took the clip, made it its own a sped up version of lady gaga's bloody mary is now synonymous with the dance on the platform. And if all this wasn't enough, Jenna Ortega choreographed this amazing dance entirely on her own. Just a few days before Tim Burton called Action. Here's the actor explaining to tv guide just what went into it and then about two nights before I realized, oh, I said that I would do that and I haven't yet. So I just didn't sleep for two nights and worked and film myself and there was a lot of different versions of what could have happened, but that one seemed the most practical and and made the most sense. I know you haven't seen Wednesday, but have you seen the dance? I've seen the dance, everyone. I've seen the dance everywhere. And what's so funny is to think that she did this two days before and she had Covid. Yeah. And she had Covid. So it's like if I'm locked already inside, I have to quarantine. Anyway, let me at least like make up a dance and I love that she didn't sleep for two Saturdays just as she could practice and she was looking at old adam's episode. She was looking at eighties video. She killed it. I love that. Who else killed it. You and me. We killed it in that dance also
