Return with us now to those classic years in the late 1950's and early-to-mid 60's, when a new dance style was invented every few days and someone immediately made a record to cash in on it.  

Those of us who grew up during that period may well remember the Twist, the Frug, the Watusi, the Mashed Potato, the Pony, the Swim, the Jerk, the Hully Gully, the Shing-a-ling, the Stroll, the Monkey, the Dog, the Hammer, the Boogaloo, the Funky Chicken and possibly even the Freddy.  

But who remembers the Razzle Dazzle, the Bug, the Utee, the Choo Choo, the Popeye Waddle, the Doolang, the Sand, the Egyptian Shumba or, god help us, the Snacky Poo(!)? (What were they thinking?)

This week's Whizbang will open with a salute to these and other dance crazes that never quite caught on.  Roll up the rug and tune in.
