Mark Williams you best believe it! I danced this extremely enthusiastically at my wedding with a large pour of red in hand, not a single drop on my white dress.
I was a DJ from 1976 till 2002, I have played this and watched this virtually every night I spun discs. It hasn't changed since 1976, same song, same moves, same response, it was the same with the Bus Stop, which you usually played straight after, to maximize the aerobic workout and get the punters thirsty, after all, that's what clubs are about. Best result ever, Townsville Mall, 1995, a makeshift DJ console on the patio of a long closed bank with very nice stone fascia, and a mob that just grew and grew to dangerous proportions. Clubs and pubs had emptied and everyone just wanted to dance in the street. Played Nutbush and everyone, even the cops there to attempt to control the mob, lined up and did the dance. There were people from children through to the elderly, doing the Nutbush, I couldn't see, but was advised, it had been done by in excess of 10,000 people who just coagulated into a dancing mass that just didn't stop. I played music from 6pm till 1AM, and the mob just grew and grew, consuming everything the guy in the kiosk adjacent to me had to sell. The second biggest was the Nimbin hemp festival years later, but that is to be expected. I believe private school girls started the craze many many mango seasons ago, or so the legend goes, however I know for a fact, every night I played it, since 1976, it happened just the same way, a packed floor, in ranks, bouncing in unison, it looks cool from the DJ pit, and feels great in the mob.
Great story.People enjoying themselves and trouble free.Need more of these nights since clubs and pubs are closing by the hundred.You get a great thank you from me.
No where it started was in public primary schools in the late 70's - the education department instituted a thing called the 'Health Hustle' after recess (playlunch) in primary schools, where we all had to line up and do these prescribed moves to a number of dances. There was this one, Jesse's Girl by Rick Springfield, Bad Bad Leroy Brown (or something...), My Sharona....and a couple of others - but this one obviously stuck in all schoolkids heads from that era and got passed down at weddings, roller rinks etc and must have just stayed in the school curriculum/fitness 15 mins or whatever in schools from that time on. I remember doing it in about 5th grade lol in my Canberra primary school which would have been 1978 I think.
Was so weird seeing this done... Working on the Pacific Jewel first time i saw this dance this year "wtf.... How does everyone know this dance???" Im from New Zealand btw :) Daza: (Insert sheep joke here) 1minute ago
How to tell Australians: put on 'nutbush city limits" How to tell someone from my school: put on 'mY SHARONA' Instead and still see people dance the nutbush.
People may assume this is planned. But about 100% of Australians know this dance and will do it every time it plays.
Please note people!
Australians can do this dance, with a drink in hand and not spill a drop!!
Mark Williams you best believe it! I danced this extremely enthusiastically at my wedding with a large pour of red in hand, not a single drop on my white dress.
This is absolutely NOT a planned flash mob. This is just Aussies being drunk and amazing. RIP Queen Tina
It's like line dancing + the electric slide.
You know those crazy Australians.
Not sure whether this was really a flashmob. You just have to play this song anywhere and all Aussies in earshot will be up dancing to it.
Your taught to nutbush before walking in australia! As a DJ its the Perfect "get your ass to the dancefloor" song
Welcome to Australia 🇦🇺

No matter whether you can dance or not. Every Aussie knows how to Nutbush.
Is this really a flashmob? or is it just everyone here knows how to dance the nutbush...
outsidemyself everyone knows the dance
outsidemyself everybody just knows how to do the nutbush
in Australia your pretty much born with the ability to do the Nutbush
TheStraya_ Bloke even if you don’t think you know the nutbush, you know the nutbush
@@twinky6755 100% true its in our genes
This is the most australian thing I have ever seen in my whole life. Jesus. Its amazing.
the greatest thing in the world is seeing American's who think they're all top shit, try and do the nutbush. Its amazing.
laura m this is in Australia...so not Americans
ypu should come here,we gave you acdc
I have been dancing the nutbush for 26 years I can show you Americans how it done.
I’ve never seen this many people dance in unison! I am 45 years old, why am I just learning about this dance???
We were down the back next to the merch tent and we were Nutbushing too - what a blast!!
This needs to be like a post pandemic gathering theme song
My thought exactly, was just sitting here having that thought for our street, imagine if it happened everywhere, same time....
Was so weird seeing this done... Working on the Pacific Jewel first time i saw this dance this year "wtf.... How does everyone know this dance???" Im from New Zealand btw :)

flashmob lol. Its just what every aussie does when they hear that song. RIP Tina Turner
Best part is it’s not even an organised flash mob! Can clearly tell the Aussies in the crowd 😂
How to tell Australians: put on 'nutbush city limits"
How to tell someone from my school: put on 'mY SHARONA' Instead and still see people dance the nutbush.
You were taught this in primary school
This must be in Australia.

Amazing Tina Turner you have much to answer for. Making rugby league cool and now this!
Would that happen now in 2020? Do the youngsters know this wicked dance??
My whole school did the dance 3 yrs ago. I know for a fact that atleast my friend group will immediately jump up and start doing the dance
Montana DiGregorio Great to hear!
Yep I did this dance for my deb and grad and on the cruise I was on
Yep! Can confirm last night all the adults and me were doing the nutbush at 2am, pretty great
Australians are born with the ability to do this dance. Its in our DNA
This needs to be on a button at Parliament, to be used every time they get too far out of hand.
Hell yes haha - that was mad fun! (tries to spot self!)
