Music Video of the Week: Ladanian Tomlinson's "Electric Slide Glide"



To our endless amusement, professional football players seem to be particularly draw to ill-conceived line dances.

Ladanian Tomlinson may not know about the future of his football career, but at least he seems to have come up with a contingency plan. That's right, LT: professional electric slide innovator. Okay, so actually this video is pretty terrible. It reminds me of those really bad 80's videos where they were still playing around with the wonderful new tricks that green screens could accomplish. Still, this video is bad in a hilarious sort of way, unlike genuine 80's efforts like this and this.

Honestly, I'm surprised that more professional football players don't try their hands at dancing after their on-field careers are over. After all, look at the success that Jerry Rice had on Dancing With The Stars. It seems like it would be especially easy for running backs. I mean you only have to turn this:




Into this:




At any rate, enjoy moments in this video such as when they tell you to "hit that hole" and turn throwing the challenge flag into a hip new dance move. As a final aside, I find myself being very curious as to how LT decided to cast his back up dancers the way he did. If this is really an 80's video knockoff, where are all of the attractive ladies? Why were they replaced with that old guy? Weird.
