But what makes a booty bootiful... and why do booties have the propensity to be shaken to the sound of some music?

Professor Marta Robertson (from the Gettysburg Colllege's Department of Music) said: "...people dance for various reasons, including the expression of national, political, local, gender, or sexual identities, religious beliefs, or for just plain fun."
Aside the implicit sexual message, I'd say shaking some booty sells out like peanut butter & jelly sandwiches being so damn... delicious.






I (heart symbol) mcdeer.
swoon
Diggin' the booty discourse..Of course I'm usually shaking my booty to express my national and political identity. My nation is under a groove and I'm I member of Uncle Jam's Army. I salute you.
UMmmm... Booty!
Look up Vida Guerra if you want to talk about booty. Besides Kelly Rowland is much better looking than Beyonce on her best day.
And, of course, B is for Bloodtea who Brings us the Badass Bounty that will get a Brother to Bump his Body with a Bodacious Babe.
Mike: McDeer ♥ U (too)!
Cody: That political and religious beliefs thing cracked me up... I wonder if Jesus, Mohammed or even Buddha can be a motivation to get one's batty on the dance floor...
Dave: I was going to post a video I found on YouTube about Vida Guerra....but some photos are just so.... I don't no one blind because of me..
Oh and by the way, I didn't put that Bootylicious vid becuz of Beyonce...
Mike #2: Brother, Beware... too much Booty can make you go Bananas..
I just take my cues from Prof.Robertson, and you Ms. Boo-tea.
Oh, yes Miss Badu is definitely bringing the booty back. And hers is one of the most sensuous out of there.
Another certainty is that my sister knows how to get all the good booty to the yard ;)
And tha Sister sez:

You've pinpointed the great mysteries of existence here. The question is, how do we resolve them? I'm inclined toward the "just plain fun" explanation....
