While being interviewed by Conan O’Brien last week, Kevin Bacon revealed the gem of a story that he often has to pay wedding DJs $20 – just so they don’t play the theme tune to Bacon’s 1984 break out role, Kenny Loggins’ Footloose.
The actor explained that, as soon as those iconic opening bars kick in, the rest of the wedding guests will form a circle around him, start clapping, and expect the 55 year old to dance like the 25 year old rebel bopper he once was.
We have the same problem every time Cotton-Eyed JOE comes on. What? It is our song though…
Check out the great interview below. Next thing you know he’ll be saying he hates eating bacon too. (Note: the video might take a couple of seconds to load).
And here’s the song itself, just make sure the Baconator isn’t around before you start to play it…
