Do your dance, do your dance, do your dance quick, mama c’mon baby tell me what’s the word?
Little Mix released music video for 2014 Sport Relief single, “Word Up!“. The song was originally released by American soul-influenced funk group Cameo in 1986.
The video features several British celebrities. I recognized BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show DJ Nick Grimshaw on a rowing machine at 1:35, Sporty Spice Melanie C at 2:43 and former Strictly Come Dancing judge Arlene Phillips at 2:52. Other celebs: Olympic cyclist Victoria Pendleton teaches the spin class at 0:48, Olympic gymnast Louis Smith shows off his backflips at 3:10 and Pineapple Dance Studios star Louie Spence wraps up the video at 3:25 with a split.
