A Forum member mentioned that his band does the "Electric Slide". Anyone know where I could find a copy and mabey some tab?
Thanks in advance.

It's not what you think, Gordon. It's a cheesy disco number complete with "Whoo whoos" and a stupid dance.

Here's the chart:

1 2m (in perpetuity).

I believe it is a dance style of song, not a particular song,which line dancers request.

..Fred, it's both...it's a particular disco line-dance style of dance, and the one song "Electric Slide" to which it is danced...I don't think it has "whoo whoo's", but it does have "boogie-oogie-oogies" in it..it is most often requested immediately before or immediately after "The Macarena"..

NOTE: At least in the northeast, this is a female only dance, men NEVER do the electric slide, except for the D.J...

I alwyas thought that there should be a dance for George Strait's "The Chair", you know, the Electric Chair

. Oh excuse me ,but you're dancing with my chair.......

In Dallas EVERYBODY was doing the Electric Slide a few years ago. When I was playing the Dance clubs over there, we had to play that thing at least 3 times a night. Cheesy is right. What a waste of time.

..Jerry, did you play "Bud's Bounce" too?..

Gordan, If you get a request a number that they can dance the "Electric Slide" to, just play Dwight Yokum's "Maybe Someday I'll Be Strong". They do the Slide to that one.

Formerly Jim Miller on the Forum. I have so many queries about a Jim Miller that someone has seen at a steel show some where that I have gone to my given name and the name that I am known as around my playing area.
I guess there are a lot of Jim Millers out there in steel land. This didn't bug me all that much but I hate that folks waste their time asking me, and I can't help them.
My given name is Jimmy Dale Miller so I use the name Jimmy Dale when performing.

Just remember folks: Real friends don't let friends line dance.
