Promotional, Morning Talk Show Themed Dance Lacks Panache Of Previous Promotional, Morning Talk Show Themed Dances

NEW YORK, NY- The "Good Day" a newly marketed dance that celebrates all things related to the FOX 5 morning talk show of the same name, lacks the sort of originality and punch normally associated with morning talk show dances, it was reported Wednesday.

"While we applaud the Fox 5 marketing team for their attempts we can honestly say that the ship certainly sailed with regard to such tactics after NBC's failed, "Twistin' to the Sunrise" campaign of 1998 that led to decreased ratings and a badly injured Al Roker," stated 57-year-old standards and practice executive Mitchell Thompson. "I do not wish to relive the horrid details but let's just say Al, at the time, lacked the pliability of Chubby Checker."

The "Good Day" does not feature any of the same moves as the, "Twistin" number but does urge its viewers to, "push it right, bring it left, roll low, bring it high and CLAP" after which the participant must turn to his or her immediate left. The format of the dance has also come under fire for what some would call, "blatant copycatting."

"Last time I checked, that dance already existed in multiple forms and it was called, 'The Electric Slide,'" stated 38-year-old Al "A-Kazam" Winsky, a notorious wedding DJ from Sheepshead Bay. "And I think I would know."

FOX 5 has yet to be reached for comment.
