Dive Bar Surveys
Final Results for last week's surveys...
No winneron this survey - each tune had a small following. Voters tried to get out of dancing as much as possible. Most would dance only at weddings and only after relentless persuasion and several trips to the open bar. Once prepared, Jimmy from Raleigh suggests Boot Scoot Boogie by Brooks & Dunn and Guru likes any polka music - it just ain't a 'burgh wedding without The Chicken Dance and your aunts dancing to the Pennsylvania Polka.
Drumsticks were the favorite by far, followed by Ice Cream Sandwiches at a distant second and Fudgsicles close behind at third. It comes as no surprise that this order followed Guru's rankings exactly.
