Bogan Origins - Classic "Michelle and Ferret" Dancing in 1975 video free download
Top quality bogan dancing - back then it was Sharpie dancing. This is Daddy Cool performing "Eagle Rock" at the Australian Concert for Bangladesh in April 1975. As you can see, lots of fans in the audience got into the music in a very particular way, doing a lot of Sharpie movies.
This kind of dancing was immortalized by Michelle and Ferret on the comedy show Fast Forward in 1992 and it is a nice look at the origins of Australian Bogan Culture. Lots of mullets and smoking to be had here.
This video was edited together using "Retro Rage" footage of the Concert for Bangladesh. I compiled all the examples I could find of Sharpie dancing into one video.
Edit March 2013: It IS Alan Pentland! Thanks to misslouise67 for emailing Alan for confirmation!
