Can't Take My Eyes Off You Foxtrot
Okay, let's talk about something. Something... controversial. Brace yourselves.
I'm talking about dancing. More specifically, foxtrots. And even MORE specifically, the "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" foxtrot.
Is it just me...?
Does anyone else feel... slightly bamboozled by this trend? Everywhere you look, there it is. The "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" foxtrot. Weddings, competitions, TikTok... it’s inescapable.
And listen, I get it. The song is catchy. Frankie Valli is a legend. But is it really the perfect foxtrot song?
Hear me out.
Foxtrots are supposed to be smooth. Elegant. Think Fred Astaire gliding across a ballroom. Now, imagine Fred doing the foxtrot to "Can't Take My Eyes Off You."
It's a little... jarring, right? It's like putting racing tires on a horse-drawn carriage. It works... sort of. But maybe not perfectly.
I’m not saying the song is bad. Far from it! But maybe it's a tad... too peppy? Too upbeat? For a dance that's supposed to be all about graceful movement.
The Popularity Puzzle
Seriously, what's the deal? Why this song? Why this dance combination? It’s like the internet decided it was the *one true foxtrot,* and now everyone's on board.
Don't get me wrong. Seeing people dance is great! I admire the effort, the coordination, the commitment to learning those steps.
But the sheer ubiquity of this specific song-dance combo makes me wonder. Is it a genuine love for the pairing, or is it just a case of following the crowd?
Alternatives Abound!
The world of music is vast! There are countless songs perfect for a smooth, romantic foxtrot.
Think Ella Fitzgerald! Think Nat King Cole! Think... anything but "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" for a change.
Maybe it's just personal preference. I could be totally wrong. But I dream of a world where the foxtrot isn't always synonymous with this one, singular song.
My Unpopular Opinion
So, here it is. My controversial stance. *deep breath* I think the "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" foxtrot is... overrated.
Okay, I said it! Now, bring on the hate mail. Or, better yet, tell me why I'm wrong. I'm genuinely curious!
Perhaps you've had an amazing experience dancing it? Maybe you find the song perfectly complements the movement? I'm open to being convinced.
The Ball is in Your Court
Ultimately, dance is about joy. It's about expression. It's about having fun.
So, if the "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" foxtrot makes you happy, then by all means, keep dancing! Rock that foxtrot.
But maybe, just maybe, consider exploring other options. There's a whole world of foxtrot-worthy music out there. Go forth and discover it!
And if you happen to stumble upon the perfect, non-"Can't Take My Eyes Off You" foxtrot song? Please, for the love of dance, let me know.
I'm waiting for you.
I mean, honestly. Is there really no better song for a foxtrot? Please tell me I am not alone.
