On Saturday night, I had my friends Dave, Laura, and Kess over for some good clean fun which included hair dryers, video cameras, excavation lights, dancing, green screens, and a little Ace of Base (yeah… remember them?). Because sometimes it’s just fun to have fun.

By the end of the video, Dave and I were sweating like crazy. The girls, well, they didn’t even crack a single bead of perspiration. Not fair!

I have rock star friends. Seriously. Oh, and if you want to watch it, here’s our last Sometimes it’s just fun to have fun video.

PS. I’d love to hear your comments today! When’s the last time you had friends over and just had some silly fun? Do you ever have friends over and dance just to dance? What did you do this past weekend to make it awesome?

This was awesome; I love the abandon and humor!

Can you please do a dance with Noah to something like "Hung Up" by Madonna, or the like? Undoubtedly will be the cutest thing ever.

When I was 7 I had a little karaoke machine and CD and all the words to this song memorized... and my own dance moves. LOL

This is amazing. We tend to just have friends come over on Friday and watch B-rate movies and kind of have a "Mystery Science Theater" type deal with them. They are always so bad but so much fun.

Great video! I love it. Used to do that kind of things with my friends all the time, we never made a video though.

Every summer when my brother and his family visit my nieces and nephew and I do a funny faces picture with the kids. Now I'm going to step it up to a music video!! I am inspired by your video, and hey we love music, we can do it. What fun...and think of the blackmail opportunities later when the kids get older!! LOL.

Great video! I can't remember the last time I had silly fun. Maybe in December when my friend from CO was in for a visit. She's the crazy-fun kind of friend. This weekend, I did go sing Karaoke with some other friends. I am the only one of our group that ever sings and I let them pick the song.

Dan...
You might be so hot because I've only ever seen you wearing a jacket!!
And I meant temperature wise this time... Though you're good lookin anyways, but that's just my humble opinion!!

So funny! I was watching it with my little boy, and he was so excited because he thought it was a video for that kid show, wizards of waverly place!

You not only made my day, but inspired some new ideas for group game nights. What GREAT idea--and very well put together, too. Looked like you all were having the best fun an adult can have by just letting loose and going for the energy. Thanks!

It's great to know that when I'm 30 (in 6ish years) my friends and I will still be just as stupid an silly as we are now! Looks like you guy had tons of fun! I'm totally jealous! =P Although my friend and I went hiking with our dogs on Saturday and that was pretty sweet in and of itself!

We often have our friends over and play our kids board games. It's really funny now because quite often the kids don't want to play with us, they just want to watch us be silly.
No better way to end a dinner party than with a kids game. Lately it's been the Lego Creationary.
(truthfully, if the kids did play, the adults would lose for sure!)

You guys were sweaty because you were carying the girls around. The girls had the fan on them the whole time, that's the girl non sweat while dancing trick :)
Great video! I wish I had a studio like that, you do have awesome firends!

Your friend's facial expressions are hilarious. But sadly, I can't remember the last time I was together with a group of friends and just acted stupid and had fun. And since you brought it up, I realize that is something I am in serious need of. It more than likely won't be dancing and lip syncing.

I am a teacher, and I read/love this blog every day at lunch (I have to read quickly!). I have never commented before, but I HAD to comment on today's! You know what? Sometimes life can be pretty darn stressful and scary, and a lot of us teachers have felt so attacked with all this extra high-stakes testing and taking away collective bargaining rights and budget cuts. Many would call this video silly, but I LOOOOVE having random fun with friends! Who cares what anybody things, sometimes it's super fun to pretend to be a rock star! And YES, I was born in the early 80s, and I remember every word of this song!! THANK YOU for a much-needed light moment in my day, Dan! It was a great reminder that we need to laugh and let our hair down. You guys look fabulous! Dan - you rock so much!!

Melissa

Haha! I love it. Life would be so boring if we didn't just stop and have fun once in a while. Glad to see you are having some Dan. I try to do stuff all the time (with and without the kiddos) to break up the monotony of our everyday life!

Keep on keepin' on Dan! :)

That's great! I'm not usually one to dance, but I sure had a lot of fun recently playing Just Dance on my friends Wii at a Moms Night Out. However, I don't think I would have the guts to have it videotaped!

That looked WAY fun. And, I must say, you guys are pretty technologically advanced in your just for fun video making -- impressive!

I cannot remember the last time I did something even remotely close to that much random fun ... time for life to start being less serious for me.

Thanks for sharing. :-)

~ Love the video! My friends and I constantly have silly fun! :D
I've noticed though that it doesn't get "video'd" as much since the instant upload to all of the internet has been so easy! Hahahha!

Ha!! Great choice of song, you guys! "The Sign" was the first "album" I ever owned... on a two-sided cassette tape, in first grade : ) I would sit in front of my little boom box and play the first side, flip the tape, & repeat.

Loved the goofy dancing and ridiculous expressions; I don't know why but Dave was so hilarious to me!
