Everybody Is Doing The Fake Dog

Written 4 July 2009, 12:39 by Paul

If you ever go to a concert, event or even just go out with the Fake Dog Men, you may notice us do a strange celebratory dance, do not be alarmed! This is The Fake Dog Dance. The origins of The Fake Dog Dance are often debated. Some say it’s a break dance gone wrong, others say it resembles a real dog cocking its leg for a wee.

The Fake Dog is lots of fun to do and we’re always adding new bits to it, I’m hoping it’ll be the new dance craze that will sweep the nation, much like The Rock The Boat or to a lesser extent The Macarena.

If you want to give it a go, help is at hand. Dara has very kindly offered to model the Fake Dog and show you how it’s done.

Easy as that! You may recognise the backdrop to Dara’s dance as the beach that Cannon and McGrath cleaned up after a reported crime-wave in the area in Crackdown 2.

So if you are ever at a famous landmark why not strike a pose and do The Fake Dog. Get someone to take a picture and be sure to post it on the message board. Happy Fake Dogging!
