Obsessed with Beyonce

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

OK, I’ll admit it — I’m obsessed with the new Beyonce video “Single Ladies.” Have you seen it? I watch it, like, every damn day. So, sue me.


Turns out that I’m not the only person obsessed with it. Check it out:


It’s come to my attention that the video was inspired by a Bob Fosse dance number called “Mexican Breakfast.” Compare the moves from the Beyonce vid:
