And five minutes after I hit submit, I find out there's an English version.

And just after posting that, I find out that their translation for our limbs is a little rough.

No, there's nothing even remotely okay about this.
Full disclosure: this is how I dance.

Easily the most limber knees I've ever seen on a Flash dancing toy. A++!

I am trying to be less of a wallflower these days.
It helps that I care less about what other people think.

Hmmm. I'm not sure what I think about this. I'm naturally inclined to go all "get off my damn lawn," but something is suppressing that urge. Apparently, I need to go see a doctor.

Oh, and the translation of the limbs is exactly the opposite of english, where instead of forelegs and hind legs, we have arms and ass arms.

Wait -- you don't have ass arms?

I came damn close to posting this when it first appeared on the web weeks ago, but the site got hammered by Digg & Reddit dorks and was taken down. HAPPY to see it's back, available in semi-English and fully customizable. Although, in some ways, I prefer the song with untranslatable foreign lyrics.

Amusing, assuming an infinitesimally small threshold for amusement.

So is "Blomma" Swedish slang for hippy, or just for dancing like a flower?

It's amazing how shitty a good song can become with a change of language. Swedish truly is the language of music.
