You can find any great music with an island beat to accompany the limbo. There are some wonderful traditional and popular limbo songs you can explore. Most folks in the United States recognize a song by Chubby Checker called the Limbo Rock and you can play that song as a Youtube video. I wrote this song while singing for a group of school children who did not want to stop dancing. So I created the new song on the spot about what was going on — they were dancing fast and slow, going left and right, and I kept adding simple verses so they could just keep having fun with the song and the game.
I hope you have as much fun as they did with my own limbo song, or the limbo video below or some of the other great musical traditions from this beautiful part of the world. We limbo fast, we limbo slow Look out now, here we go Look out now, here we go. We limbo all around the room We limbo under the limbo broom We limbo under the limbo broom.
Last time… We do the limbo — to the bottom from the top We do the limbo — We do the limbo til we stop — cha, cha, cha! Discuss the Limbo Rock Lyrics with the community: 0 Comments.

A game of telephone takes on another level of absurdity when people actually believe misconstrued messages. I shudder to think of all the time I spent wanting to grow older. Entranced and yearning for what seemed so far away, hours were spent fantasizing about being older, more sophisticated, wishing to be anywhere but on my naptime cot, in a room filled with other small humans, listening to Enya.
Little did I know, given the inevitability of time and aging, that my efforts would have probably been better spent focusing somewhere else.
I imagine in a parallel universe children finally see the value in nap time, and adults recognize how silly and strange our day-to-day lives really are. These thoughts themselves come at a time of limbo. Ask anyone what their plan is for the next year, month, week, or even day, and their mind churns and churns to spit out something suitable. All you get is a blank stare and uncomfortable shuffling because the answer is: no one knows.
When did limbo become something more than a game, and why is it that its manifestation in real life is so eerily similar, but far more devastating? In the same way, we struggled to squeeze ourselves under a bar we had no control over, our world today seems to be testing our flexibility to lower and lower depths. How did the small simplicity of our younger selves grow larger than each of us? When did we sign up for feelings and thoughts larger than lives that we once knew?
With all these questions, my curiosity definitely took a dark turn upon realizing the definition and historical context attached to limbo are rather morbid.
On ships carrying enslaved peoples, limbo was allegedly present as well. In a dance of death and survival, the limbo pole held slaves in chains as their backs touched the ground. Our current limbo, a collective feeling of stillness and confusion, as we wait for something more, will most certainly be added to the list. Meanwhile, I type here and add my own interpretation; fresh and waiting for more and more iterations.
Which of our own truths today do we think will suffer the same fate? Perhaps someone knows the answers to all my questions while I can actually make use of them.
