Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson introduces the dance craze of the summer

by Dan MacRae

If rap videos have taught us anything, it’s that no one wants to be left out of the summer’s hottest dance crazes. It’s mortifying to look out of place in front of your peers, so it’s best to learn the steps in advance.

That brings us to metal icons Iron Maiden and their singer Bruce Dickinson’s unlikely bid for the dance craze of summer 2016. Ladies and gentleman, get ready to “climb like a monkey!”

Yes, the wailing pilot of metal has trotted out a move set that should become a sensation with the Wiggles set. It’s not quite the sparkling effort you’d associate with something like “The Ketchup Song,” but who can resist watching Dickinson “dance” like he’s in an Andy Serkis level one motion capture course?

Paired with the lyrical magic of “climb like a monkey out of hell where I belong,” it’s something that will probably be obsessed over on 4/20 cuz monkey moves and metal, dude.
