Top 9 Dancing Hippies Caught on Film (potentially by hippies themselves)

Dancing Hippies...while seemingly harmless at first, can suck your gaze in like none other. They're just so flowy, so rhythm-lacking, so existential, sometimes involving hula hoops. But they can't help themselves - the music and potential hallucinogenics have just taken control of them - just as they have taken control of your holy-crap-will-you-get-a-load-of-this-guy reflex. The top 9 dancing hippies on youtube, and possibly the world, are found here. Should you desire to make your own Searchles mashup, well then by all means...do go here.



1. Fat Stoned Hippie Dancing.
Where he is: Golden Gate Park...yeah, San Francisco.
Where he was in 1969: Listening to Ravi Shankar (alone) on a beanbag in his parent's basement in Florham Park, New Jersey.
Why he's special: His transition from the slow existential arm movements and poses to the spastic flailing of the legs is seamless...flawless...beautiful.

2. Hippies Dancing in a Circle
Where they are: Oh, San Francisco.
Where they were in 1969: Fetuses (feti?)...probably in suburban New Jersey.
Why they're special: These dudes so think they're gonna get laid later, probably by the chick in the green pants...always the green pants.

3. Stoned Hippie Crazy Dance
Where he is: Amidst a sea of hula hoops.
Where he was in 1969: Hopefully wearing shirts with sleeves, but probably not.

5. Amish Hippie Dancing-Go-Round

6. Santa Cruz Hippie Dance
Where they are: HmmmmmSantaCruz
Where they were in 1969: Wearing flowers in their hair.

Where they were in 1969: They sure as hell wish they were around in 1969.

9. Final Hippie Dancing Video of the Day
