The Chuck & Barry Show. A Little Weekend Fun

Query: What do Big Guy and Prince Charles have in common – aside from the big ears? And all those gay rumors which, mind you, are just rumors.

Well for starters, as you’ll see below, they both love to bust a move:

The do-si-do, two ways

And of course they both recently enjoyed dancing in India:

The local Indian press documented the Chuck and Barry shows, demonstrating their respective dance skills.

(Later BO practiced his leg placement so as to get that Prince Charles mojo thing going.)

Of course, the real Chuck Berry has (UPDATED to reflect Chuck’s still dancing onstage! H/T: Moright) a few better moves than either of them:

And if you watch this next Vid till the end, you’ll see that barefoot UmaThurman obviously taught Lady M how to do the Koli dance (starting at approximately the 1:57 mark), although Big Guy was too busy organizing communities at the time to learn his steps from John Travolta:

But I digress: back to Chuck and Barry. Big ears, dancing in India and, finally, and odd affinity for umbrellas:

Maybe it’s a royal thing.

Oh, and one last thing the two have in common: they both married fashion forward fashion icons. Prince Charles, to his credit, twice.
