Just imagine a hoard of giddy US Democrats badly attempt the Macarena, sounds pretty cringy right? Well it happened.

This year’s Democratic National Convention saw Hillary Clinton get a little overexcited by a cyclone of patriotic balloons.

But turn back the clock two decades and something so unexpected, so chaotic, so terrifying took place that it has remained buried in US political folklore.

Now, 20 years later, the footage has resurfaced and it’s managed to tip the scale on the cringe-o-meter by far.

Just for a little background, President Bill Clinton and Vice President Al Gore had been nominated for their second term at the 1996 DNC.


So there was clearly reason to celebrate… cue the Macarena.

Clearly most of the democrats don’t know what a Macarena is, let alone perform the dance moves.

And the best part of the clip is an extremely happy Hillary clapping along to the music because she obviously has no idea what is happening.

In all fairness, it was a good laugh and at least it shows the Democratic Party know how to throw down their papers and have a good time.

We just wish someone would teach these people how to dance.
