Video: MC Hammer Breaking Down Jace Peterson’s Swing

The world in which we live would be a decidedly less habitable one had certain great ideas not been pursued. Like the one Jonas Salk had for a polio vaccine, for example. Or the one Socrates had before that in terms of establishing the whole Western intellectual tradition.

Other ideas, had they been ignored entirely, would never have been missed.

Inserting footage of Jace Peterson’s first major-league hit into the music video for MC Hammer’s 1990 hit single U Can’t Touch This belongs firmly to the latter category.





Carson Cistulli has published a book of aphorisms called Spirited Ejaculations of a New Enthusiast.

Carson, I’m impressed with how well the music goes with the slo-mo clip. Next you should insert a clip of some of your own sweet dance moves into the video.
