Lyrics:-

I've been to Nagasaki, Hiroshima too!
The things I did to them baby, I can do to you!

'Cause I'm a Fujiyama Mama and I'm just about to blow my top!
Fujiyama-yama, Fujiyama!
And when I start you up, there aint nobody gonna make me stop!

I drank a quart of sake, smoked on a pipe!
I chased it with tobbacy and then shoot out the lights!

'Cause I'm a Fujiyama Mama and I'm just about to blow my top!
Fujiyama-yama, Fujiyama!
And when I start you up, there aint nobody gonna make me stop!

Well you can talk about me, say that I'm mean!
I'll blow your head off baby with nitroglycerine!

'Cause I'm a Fujiyama Mama and I'm just about to blow my top!
Fujiyama-yama, Fujiyama!
And when I start you up, there aint nobody gonna make me stop!

Well you can say I'm crazy, so deaf and dumb!
But I can cause destruction just like the atom bomb!

'Cause I'm a Fujiyama Mama and I'm just about to blow my top!
Fujiyama-yama, Fujiyama!
And when I start you up, there aint nobody gonna make me stop!

I drank a quart of sake, smoked on a pipe!
I chased it with tobbacy and then shoot out the lights!

'Cause I'm a Fujiyama Mama and I'm just about to blow my top!
Fujiyama-yama, Fujiyama!
And when I start you up, there aint nobody gonna make me stop!

Choreographer of COME AS YOU ARE, Joanne Wong visiting KK

Joanne was born in Tawau and currently runs her dance school in KL. I have extracted some info from her website below for your reference.

She will be sharing some of her dancing styles with us on Fri, 21 May as follows:-
Venue: SGCC
Time: 8am to 11am
Price: RM 11 ( we will start with breakfast)
All welcome. I hope many of us can attend.


extract from: www.joyclub.com.my :-

"...Joanne Wong - Principal & Instructor
Joanne teaching career began in 1987 and she has ever since enjoyed teaching students of all levels from beginners to competitors. “Teaching is very satisfying because dance offers benefits to everyone -- it increases confidence, improves physical shape, satisfaction in learning something new, grace, and most importantly, fun. I feel blessed to share with others the joy of dancing.”

Joanne has won numerous dance awards at various dance competitions. She received most of her training from international top dance coaches over the years. She teaches various styles of dance such as Latin American, Hip Hop, Street Jazz, Line Dance, Zumba, Reggaeton, Jazz Funk and so on.

She is one of the few dance teachers who teaches all phases of dance. She has been dancing most of her life, teaching both private and group lessons, working as a professional dance coach and choreographer. She loves to teach and is experienced in different types of dance.

Joanne has been conducting workshops both local and international. She has trained many instructors and dancers to become champion and won many awards. Many dancers come from miles away just to learn from Joanne.

Her motto is “more than just dance”, because she believes that dancing brings so much more. It’s good for the mind, body and soul to feel the rhythm of the music and express it with body movement, AND it’s good exercise and just plain fun! She works with children and adults of all ages."

2008 Boston Linedance competition

I met Barry and Dari Anne Amato at the Penang Dance Funtasia'07. The couple is very talented as dancers, teachers and singers too. They taught us the dance Heat (song by Tom Jones, something called Do You Think I'm Sexy ??..not sure)and I shared the dance with you too.
Can you recall the dance?
Anyway do watch this video clip where the couple won the competition. Watch right to the end. Amazing footwork
