In season 2, episode 4 of Derry Girls, there is a scene where the song “Rock the Boat” come on during wedding reception. With excitement the girls rush the dance floor joined by adults of all ages to sit on the ground.
They wave their arms, rowed, and clapped in a choreographed routine while seated.
It is both a bizarre and hilarious scene to watch.
Apparently in the 90’s in Ireland, this was a thing that happened at parties and weddings. In fact Irish people on the internet have expressed THEIR surprise that not everyone does this!
Unfortunately I did not know about Rock the Boat last year for my own wedding…
