Viral Video: Dmitri Medvedev Busts a Move at the Most Boring-Looking Party Ever

Does your idea of an awesome party include a bunch of middle-aged suits struggling to dance? Yeah, neither does ours.

This video of Russian President Dmitri Medvedev dancing to the ’90s song “American Boy” was posted on YouTube Tuesday and has quickly amassed more than a million views. (And for reference, Medvedev isn’t the one mugging for the camera. He’s the shorter guy in the suit who can’t see he’s being filmed.)

Sure, there’s something kind of charming about watching a dusty, older guy try to get down, but we suspect it’s the sheer awkward combination of the moves, the music and the clapping that has got people clicking on this video. (via Huffington Post)
