Nov 5th 2021!⃝Hey kiddos.
A song and dance featuring a dandy.
A dandy is not a sissy, nor effeminate. A dandy is a male dressing fashionably and strutting and walking around looking and feeling good about himself for no reason other than self-fulfillment. Dandies may be heterosexual, homosexual, or bisexual, etc., but the term dandy is exclusively for males and never females.
Funk does not mean fuck. Funk has traditional meanings such as depression, foul odors, and depressive expressions, such as in soul (black, African American) dance.
The word funk in Ronson's video is apt in the John Lennon sense towards music lyrics, words together that make it.
The girl at the start is scowled away, she's not pursued. This is males enjoying themselves, without women.
The term dandy, which is the forerunner of the term Dapper Dan (the pommade was named for),
is American, but may have roots in the south of France.
As far as Mark Ronson's video, there may be coincidences between a dandy and Ronson's artistic intent....irregardless, the Goals are the Same, the men in the video are enjoying themselves for themselves, gussied up and walking around, or dancing, as the case may be.
