From my perspective, this is the year the 1960s truly begins in the Billboard charts. By which I mean we're seeing the staples of the previous decade start to fade in favor for trends that will come to mark this new one, seen with the influx of teen idols, girl groups, and the flood of dance crazes. The Twist charted again this year, two years after its last appearance in the Billboard year-end charts.

So I finally watched the remastered Inland Empire the other night and the Loco-Motion scene reminded me of something but I couldn't quite place what it was.
Today it dawned on me that it was this Kelly Clarkson Show technical difficulty from 2020.

Come on baby, DO THE LOCO-MOTION!
Guess who sings this iconique 1988 bop.
...
Kylie fucking Minogue.
That's right, padam, padam, do the locomotion with me, bitch.
youtube
The song was originally written in 1962 by Carole King and Gerry Goffin, the married songwriting duo that wrote a number of hits including Aretha Franklin's "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman." It was first recorded by the couple's babysitter, Little Eva.
The song has reached the top 3 on the US Billboard Charts in 3 separate decades by 3 separate artists.
Here's Kylie performing the song on her 2018 tour with an arrangement inspired by the 1974 version by Grand Funk Railroad.

Song Lyric Sunday: Wanna Dance?
For this week, Jim is inviting us to play a song that mentions a dance style or craze, or a song that has its own dance, as you can read in his post Long and Complicated Story. As I write these before seeing his posts, and drop in the link back to his just before I publish, I have no advance idea what he will actually be saying about this, but I’m guessing that the two dances I’m featuring today…

Little Eva - Llllloco-Motion (Dimension, 1962) - Designer unknown
This was the first performance of "The Loco-Motion", which has since been covered by Grand Funk Railroad and Kylie Minogue.
I wonder how they did things like this pre-Photoshop.
