Have you ever seen a group of lunch ladies dancing in the middle of a gymnasium?
Well, after you watch this video, you can answer “yes” to that question. When a group of lunch ladies took the floor at the American Dance/Drill Team national competition, everyone went silent. The audience was full of people, and they weren’t sure what to expect.
The lunch ladies were dressed in blue dresses with aprons.
They had stains all over them and even had hairnets on over their red hair. They had ankle socks and bright white sneakers. They took their positions on the stage.
These were no regular lunch ladies; this was the Hallsville High School dance team. These high schoolers had an awesome routine, and they were ready to show it off.
When you think about dance teams, you probably think about sequins, Lycra, and pretty hair and makeup.
Most people don’t think of lunch ladies. This dance sure changed everyone’s mind. The group performed to a mix of music about foods.
Some of the hits included “Apple Bottom Jeans,” “Tootsie Roll,” and “Do the Mashed Potatoes.” At one point, they even danced to “Don’t You Wish Your Girlfriend Was Hot Like Me,” which was as ironic it was hilarious.
The audience really laughed when they performed to the food-themed parody of Michael Jackson’s “Beat It” – “Eat It” by Weird Al Yankovic.
If you aren’t familiar with the song, the lyrics are:
“How come you’re always such a fussy young man
Don’t want no Cap’n Crunch, don’t want no Raisin Bran
Well don’t you know that other kids are starvin’ in Japan
“So eat it, just eat it!
Don’t want to argue, I don’t want to debate
Don’t want to hear about what kinds of foods you hate
You won’t get no dessert ’till you clean off your plate
So eat it!
“Don’t you tell me you’re full
Just eat it, eat it
Get yourself an egg and beat it
Have some more chicken
Have some more pie
It doesn’t matter
If it’s boiled or fried
“Just eat it, just eat it
Just eat it, just eat it, Woo!
“Your table manners are a crying shame
You’re playing with your food, this ain’t some kind of game
Now, if you starve to death
You’ll just have yourself to blame
So eat it. Just eat it.
“You better listen, better do as you’re told
You haven’t even touched your tuna casserole
You better chow down, or it’s gonna get cold
So eat it.
“I don’t care if you’re full
Just eat it, eat it
Open up your mouth and feed it
Have some more yogurt
Have some more Spam
It doesn’t matter if it’s fresh or canned
“Just eat it! Eat it! Eat it! Eat it!
Don’t you make me repeat it!
Have a banana, have a whole bunch
It doesn’t matter what you had for lunch
Just eat it! Eat it! Eat it! Eat it!
“Eat it! Eat it!
If it’s getting cold, reheat it
Have a big dinner.
Have a light snack
If you don’t like it, you can’t send it back
“Just eat it! Eat it!
Get yourself an egg and beat it!
Have some more chicken. Have some more pie
It doesn’t matter if it’s boiled or fried
“Just eat it! Eat it!
Don’t you make me repeat it!”
It’s a hilarious song that went perfectly with the theme of the routine.
There was a lot more to this dance team than just humor. They were all talented dancers, too. They pulled off some impressive hip-hop moves and looked graceful the entire time. They sure were fun to watch, and they had the support of the entire gymnasium.
