Memphis on the internet.
DANCING BABY MAN?
A Memphis video posted to Facebook last week is so fun and crazy that describing the action ramps up the crazy fun.
The video opens with a disturbance at the trolley stop at the corner of Main and Huling (close to the Grecian Gourmet Taverna). The camera operator wades through a crowd looking on and phone-filming a pregnant woman lying on the ground, apparently going into labor. The camera pans across a white sheet laying over her legs. Between her feet pops out a grown man, dressed all in black but with white shoes and a blue pacifier in his mouth. Someone throws a blue smoke bomb on the ground beside him.
Once the man stands, he dances silently in Hammer pants, pacifier still in his mouth. He then falls on his hands and drags his body across the sidewalk, under an ambulance where he disappears. The camera operator walks around the ambulance in search of Baby Man until he finds him dancing (again with the pacifier in his mouth) in the middle of the street.
He dances in the crosswalk and someone off-camera throws that blue smoke bomb back at his feet. The video ends. “Gotta love Memphis,” Marcoes Bean captioned. As of press time, the video had been shared more than 5,300 times.
