'Top Hat'

Dancers are thoroughly entertaining. I also think they might be annoying.

I think about dancers like I do Paul McCartney. Now, I'm a gigantic fan of Sir Paul and his entire catalog from The Beatles through his more modern albums.
However, I get the feeling that he's too much of a ham in intimate, face-to-face meetings. I read a New Yorker profile on McCartney and it seemed every time the writer turned around, he was at a piano or cradling a guitar singing and playing.

I see Fred Astaire being like that, only with dance. Like instead of just walking down the street, he starts doing some soft shoe or a waltz.

But that's just my perception.
