Matt is back and he's still Dancing
.
So you thought that Mamma Mia! was the feelgood hit of the summer? Wrong! Matt is back and he's still dancing.
As this New York Times article explains, Matt is Matt Harding, a 31-year-old drop-out from Connecticut with a talent for dancing badly in public, a talent that he's used to become perhaps the internet's best-travelled video star. It's the kind of simple formula that would probably make you sick with jealousy if you were, like, a 31-year-old dropout from Connecticut trying to think of a way to turn a few bucks or get a free holiday somewhere.
Matt's last Dancing video, back in 2006, has attracted more than 10 million viewers, many through his wherethehellismatt website. According to the aficionados, the latest one, which has been watched about five million times, is even better. The bit at the end with Gordon Brown in Downing Street is unmissable.
Crazy Matt dancing makes me smile and feel good all over. One can't watch this video without tingling from heat to toe. I loved it. Keep it going. You are one of a kind for sure.

Your video is fantastic - may you long continue to dance and make people smile.
Have you been to Wales? You could dance on top of Mount Snowdon in beautiful North Wales. I'll dance with you.

Awesome. Very funny and very uplifting. The raw power of the internet - and the human spirit.
