Delighted

Dash and his two best friends, Will & Ethan, performed at the school talent show. Last year they did a joke routine. This year they decided to step up their game. Here's what Josh wrote about the following video on Facebook:

"Back in 1985, my good friend Mike Cass introduced me to this song. Almost 25 years later, I played it for my son for the first time. And now--6 years after that--my dream has become a reality."

And here's the entire performance:

Josh rewrote the lyrics, and I've pasted them here because they should be preserved for all eternity:

[ALL]

I said a hip, hop, the hippie - - the hippie

To the hip hip-hop, and you don't stop

The rock it to the bang-bang, boogie say "up jump"

The boogie to the rhythm of the boogie, the beat.

[Wonder Will]

Now what you hear is not a test, I'm rappin’ to the beat.

And me, the groove, and my friends are gonna try to move your feet.

See, I am Wonder Will, and I'd like to say "Hello,"

To the K through 6, the faculty and the parents, so let’s go.

But first I gotta bang bang, the boogie to the boogie

Say "up jump" the boogie to the bang-bang boogie

Let's rock, you don't stop,

Rock the rhythm that’ll make your body rock.

Well, so far you've heard my voice but I brought two friends along.

And next on the mike is my man Dash.

Come on, Dash, sing that song.

[Dash]

Check it out, I'm the a-w-e—s-o-m-e,

And the rest is g-u-y.

I wear two different socks every day of the week

But the reason I don’t know why.

I got Pokemon cards, like Charizard, Diglett and Mewtwo.

I got Aggron, Bulbasaur, Poliwag, and of course there’s Pikachu!

So after school, I take a dip in the pool

Which is really is on the wall.

I got a color TV so I can see  

The Lakers play basketball.

Hear me talkin’ ‘bout handball, penny boards 

and Minecraft, the fun just never ends. 

But my time is up,

I gotta pass the mike

To E-Man, our other friend.

[Ethan]

What's up? My name's Ethan or just E-man,

Either one is fine with me.

See I got more clothes than LeBron James

And I dress so viciously.

I play soccer and basketball, 

Just depends on the day of the week.

You’ll see my moves and won’t believe your eyes

In fact, you won’t be able to speak.

Now last year in the talent show

You may remember folks,

We couldn't do a rap we were just too young

So we came up and told some jokes

[ALL]

I said a hip, hop, the hippie - the hippie

To the hip hip-hop, and you don't stop

The rock it to the bang-bang, boogie say "up jump"

The boogie to the rhythm of the boogie, the beat
