Now, this is only vaguely BBL-related, but it popped up in a game I was watching the other day, so...

What's the story with the Tina Turner song Nutbush City Limits? I'd never even heard of it until it popped up as an obscure pub quiz question a year or so ago (that no one in the bar got right), but since then I've seen it play at Australian sports events and the crowd seems to go nuts for it? Is this a thing? Why?

Goes way back to the 70s and disco. Just became a thing here and it's somehow carried on down the generations. It's kind one of those songs which people will get up and dance to even when they won't for anything else. probably because it's easy to do and a bit of a giggle

 

[mr_mister]

Yeah we had to dance to it at school. Like had to learn the moves to it. Such a throwaway song that as a child I assumed was like Bohemian Rhapsody level of reknown worldwide

Can't go to a wedding/semi-formal event without hearing it. I'm also surprised that it isn't well known over in NZ

It's the main rite of passage in Australian primary schools.

Can't say I remember it from then, must be just public schools

Private school boy are you

 

[TheJediBrah]

I'm offended that you would have to ask

 

[mr_mister]

Boarding?

 

[TheJediBrah]

ew

no

 

[Starfighter]

I went to a private school and we learned the Nutbush there. Must be one of those Vicco things, probably too complex for them.

 

[Burgey]

You two blokes prove once and for all that privately educating kids is a complete waste of money and resources.

OMG the world's greatest fielder.

Appropriately hyphenated surname if he's a private school boy
