I’ll admit it. I can’t dance. I mean I can dance, but it’s not smooth like Justin Timberlake. I really wish I could and I admire people who can.
I can’t sing either, but my lack of ability has never stopped me from full fledge concerts in the car. My 3 year old son, Brewer, has watched many of my concerts from the backseat and officially announced yesterday that he will be joining me on tour.
Enjoy this 57 seconds of awesomeness. Eat your heart out Justin Timberlake.
Have you been known to sing and dance in the car from time to time? Be honest.
Lil’ Brewer from Pete Wilson on Vimeo.
Are you kidding me? I have been known to require that everyone in the car dance during the breakdown of Staci O’s “Tight.” Wish we’d had Brewer during those times; he would have taken us to a whole new level.
.-= Anita´s last blog ..Eighteen Years =-.
Put on some James Brown and then you can really see Brewer rock out.
Not that we were doing that in the 3 year old room one Sunday morning… *cough cough*
As far as dancing in the car – yep. Shimmy, shake and be bop to my heart’s content.
Of COURSE!
What’s even more crazy–I often commute into downtown Minneapolis on the bus from the ‘burbs. I’ll plug in my iPod and sometimes catch myself “seat dancing” and have been known to sing a line or two outloud.
Oh. Yes. I. Have.
In my car? That’s a whole ‘nuther story. But to be honest–it’s fun to bust out in song now and again. : )

Um….YES! Especially if my cousin is with me.

Made my day! THANK YOU.
.-= Lindsey´s last blog ..Fall is… =-.
If it makes you feel any better, your dancing skills and Justin’s are equal in God’s eyes.
Love it! Please provide us one of your moves to this song! Perhaps even the two of you together!
Come on! Bring it!
.-= Ron Edmondson´s last blog ..Stress Results and Not Details =-.
I love the total un-selfconsciousness he has! I need me some of that!
And yes, I dance and sing all the time, when I’m alone.
.-= Jan Owen´s last blog ..Learning Through Failure =-.
wow, he’s a natural. i love car dance parties and i sing in the car whether people are in it or not…why not involve everyone though – especially when there is more than one vocal part.
Oh yeah!!! That made my morning! I’m headed out to the farm and I WILL be doing some car dancing, followed by tractor dancing! He’s adorable – and he’s got something…don’t know what it is, but he’s LOADED with it! Have a good one!
.-= Leslie´s last blog ..Fragrance… =-.
Love it! I always sing and dance in my car and in the shower and anywhere there is a good tune on…. I can’t do either well, but I do it even if people are starring at silly me…
The quote I live by:
“Dance like no one’s watching.
Sing like no one’s listening.
Work like you don’t need the money.
Love like you’ve never been hurt before.
Live like there’s no tomorrow.”
.-= Falguni´s last blog ..One of My Favorite Blogs =-.
Yes, we’ve been known to be-bop to the tunes when I’m driving kids to school.
One question…you were driving and video-taping. What skill!!!
OK, first of all when did Brewer learn to seat dance like me! I’ve been busting those kinds of moves for years.
Confession time, I have been known to alter my route home just to finish up one of my car concerts. Sort of an encore for all my fans
I love the look on his face the most – so cute! And such concentration!! Adorable.
I sing and dance in the car all the time. I remember a time when I was dating my husband and he would get embarrassed by it. Now that we have a kiddo who also enjoys the occasional dance party in the car? Well, he can’t help but join in.
.-= Mary´s last blog ..The Long-Awaited (??) Summary of My Bloggy Education =-.
I am just wondering who doesn’t sing or dance in the car? Both my 4 and 3 year old (they are 19 months apart) have serious jam sessions in the back seat. Some of their favs are Toby Mac and Skillet. I also love to sing along to the music
.-= Faith´s last blog ..Awesome Husband =-.
my kids sing in the car all the time. my boys especially like Boom Boom Pow and I’ve Got a Feelin’! my youngest tells everybody to do “the wobot”. i’m more amazed by your skillz to shoot video and drive at the same time. ok more scared than amazed, but still….
.-= Chuck Harris´s last blog ..Sunday Setlist… =-.
SERIOUSLY?! hilarious! especially when he starts popping his hands behind his head at the end there.
I don’t know about me, but that Jessica Holmes chic dances like a crazy person. I saw her doing that same Brewer dance in Panera on 21st yesterday.
@Tanya, I have to be honest and say his ‘hands behind his head’ moves at the end are totally original. He didn’t learn that one from me. I have no idea where he got that!
Heheheheh . . . guffaw . . . *snort . . . heheheheheheheh! Totally awesome. Also excellent blackmail material for when they do his senior slideshow at high school graduation.
.-= Jan C.´s last blog ..Today =-.
Excellent. I am so impressed! I also do my own stoplight concerts with accompanying choreography. It’s a good time … for me
.-= Randy´s last blog ..Speaking of Mysticism … =-.
Oh, too cute!!! It looks like he’s been watching exercise videos!
I love to dance and sing and generally act like a complete fool while driving to embarrass my 16 year old sister… When I do the same thing with my 16 month old, she thinks it’s pretty awesome. I wonder at what age that switch will flip?
.-= Rachel´s last blog ..Love Food, Will Travel =-.
so cute! i sing in the car and in the shower if no one’s home.
.-= Amy N´s last blog ..Daisy =-.
I’ve been busted more than once singing at the top of my lungs in the car. Not much on dancing in the car though.
When the kids were small I used to make up stupid songs and teach them to Sherry and the kids and we would sing at the top of our lungs going down the road. They still say it is some of their favorite memories. Although I did not write this, it was one of our favorites as well.
I like to go bowling with my friend Bert,
My bowling ball, and my bowling shirt.
I like to roll the ball down the lane.
On a good day I’ll throw a few strikes,
And maybe some spares, that’s what I like.
Bowling is my kind of game.
I aim for the one pin, two pin, three pin, four,
Five pins down the lane.
With a boom and a bang they hit the floor,
And I throw the ball again.
I like to go bowling with my friend Bert,
My bowling ball, and my bowling shirt.
Bowling is my kind of game.

Oh my goodness, where did he get those moves??? How fun!
And are you driving while videoing???
Is there a dance called the “wash the back” because I think he TOTALLY captured it. HA HA He just one up-ed HITCH!
.-= Megan´s last blog ..Pray for Sergio =-.
You bet! I am always singing in my car and at least hand dancing (got that term from Jon Acuff).
Lil’ Brew! You go Boy!
.-= Alison´s last blog ..God’s Message to Me and You =-.
Love it! Especially the hand behind the head move. Hope you don’t mind if my son joins the tour, because Bruiser’s got a bend and squat move that’s currently being totally wasted on the Thomas the Train theme song.
.-= Lindsay´s last blog ..The One Who Got Left Behind =-.
@Megan, I think you coined it. The “wash the back” move. I like it.
can I just ask… who’s watching the road while your taping this?
How cute is that boy!??!
Are you kidding me? I belt it out full force in the car driving. I even raise my hands in worship……well, at least one.
.-= *~Michelle~*´s last blog ..Talk me off this Cliff! =-.
What would a car ride with the kids be without one of them dancing?
And anywho, why were you filming it while driving? You have some serious multitasking skills, Pete.
.-= nigel´s last blog ..Photo fun, part 2 =-.
Too Cool!!!!
Can we arrange for him to give Bradley some lessons? Sadly, he didn’t inherit my sense of music and dance… HAA!!!!!!
um. Lil’Brew is possibly the cutest thing ever….and he was totally rockin’ those dance moves.
This totally made my day
.-= Christy´s last blog ..Rain. =-.
@Regina, no worries I’m really good.
I promise I just pointed the camera toward the back seat while I kept my eyes on the road.
I don’t know whats better….your 3 year old dancing in the car or the fact that you’re playing hip-hop for your 3 year old and his dance moves seemingly coincide with the lyrics meaning he has heard this song more than once…haha!
.-= Lindsay Guard´s last blog ..56 =-.
Awesome. Enjoy him, he’ll be gone before you know it!
That is awesome……love it…..enjoy the boys….they grow up fast (so I have been told since my oldest is only 10
)
Heck yes.. Bust a move in the car while singing! I hear it’s especially entertaining when the song is “The Second Alive” by Charlie Hall Band.
Thanks for sharing your Brew.
.-= Cameyg´s last blog ..When Faith Knocks: The State of the I Address =-.
Of course!!! My teenagers are so embarrassed by it!!! I was totally humbled the other day, though, when the baby (15 mo) began laughing at my ‘dance moves’!!!
And, my opinion only, I think that should be ‘the Brewer’ instead of the ‘wash the back’!!! Too adorable!
.-= bluegoose´s last blog ..Summer is already over??? Seriously??? =-.
LOVE it!! Of course I sing and dance in the car…my old roommate and I even created a car dance…it was pretty good if I do say so myself!!!
Awesome! Kid got the MOVES! Kids are so innocent and wide open about expressing themselves. They throw caution to the wind and let it out! Isn’t it a shame that, as we grow older, we become self conscious and inhibited and begin to worry about what others think about us. We don’t want to look stupid or silly. Kids just know they are having fun. Of course, I guess I would look pretty silly bustin’ the moves Lil’ Brew just laid down! HA!
And honestly, I thought Brewer picked up the behind the back moves from you at your last backyard cook-out. It looked like you swatting mosquitoes! The “Pete swattin’ Skeeters” move.
That was awesome. Very nice. I think he’s ready to learn the seawalk.
.-= WesHoward´s last blog ..Power of Mud (2 of 2) =-.
Dude did Tanya LIE on a pastor’s blog? I dance in my car, but not in Panera. If she wasn’t delusional she would remember I was passed out in panera. I totally rock out in my car. . . love it! Especially after a stressful day!
Pete I am disturbed that you were DRIVING while taping. . . and they say texting causes accidents- how about taking vids of your kids? LOL it is adorable though!
.-= Jessica´s last blog ..WP.me — shorten your links =-.
FYI don’t click on that latest blog thing. . . something is up with wordpress it will take you to some random person’s blog. Grr
This is so completely awesome. You have to keep this video forever and ever.
(I dance while I’m driving all the time. I tune in to noventa y cinco punto uno and jam!)
.-= Vanity of Vanities´s last blog ..It’s Going to SPACE! =-.
hmmm- lie on pastor’s blog, which i think is more like creative storytelling and entertaining (or just starting a fight in general), or MOTHERING the pastor? yes, you did. you just mothered him. now i know why you lie about dancing in panera. and you need to calm down.
jus sayin.
Xo)
P.S. I think our next series at CP should have to do with dancing, at Brewer can do a little intro.
As long as the crowd doesn’t get carried away and start dancing- especially that darn Jessica Holmes chic. She dances like a crazy person. She can’t be stopped.
(k, done riling up the holmesdawg and won’t spam up the church blog anymore)
the cutest video i’ve ever seen!!!

Precious! I love to sing/dance in the car (when I’m actually in one.) Its sorta difficult to sing or dance on the bus with so many other people crammed in next to you, but occasionaly I just can’t help it if I have my ipod on
.-= Maureen´s last blog ..TII #6: Delirious from Diapers =-.
I tell you, you’re raised Baptist and you pay for that…for years of defiant behavior. Being raised Presbyterian, we believed in dancing, but nobody knew how. No rhythm. At all. I’m still payin’ for that. Glad the next generation has true SOUL. Go, Li’l Brew!
Well, for the record, I was raised non-Christian so I have some extra special cool dance moves. And yes, me and my boys sing/dance in the car on almost a daily basis. We sing and dance in our kitchen too….it is safer.

Thanks for being our entertainment. This one is about as funny as the spoons game. Hilarious.
Awesome. Lil Brewer has some moves. Thanks for sharing-my 3 kids enjoyed this immensely and could not help but join in!
That’s awesome! I love the “wash the back/scratch the neck” move!
My boyfriend and I drove separately somewhere the other day, so he followed me for about 10 miles. When we arrived, he said he was surprised that I’d never been stopped by a highway patrolman wanting me to take a breathalizer test or just checking to make sure I wasn’t having a seizure or something. Then he winked. He’s such a stick in the mud, but he loves to watch me dance!
I LOVE Falguni’s quote! I don’t care who gets a free show at the stoplights. I’m usually so full of joy it can’t help but overflow…
i’m not bragging, but he totally gets his moves from me…
.-= brandiandboys´s last blog ..May The Force Be With You… =-.
The only time I’m not singing in the car is when I’m telling the kids to knock it off! I NEVER dance period!
Could that child be any cuter!? And yes, I sing and dance all the time in the car (well, sing more than dance really…never was much of a dancer!) My three year old tells me “sshhh mama, I liss’ning!”. My five year old however, clapped, sang and danced to Mandisa in her carseat the whole way to school one day last week! Sweet!

Yes, I love to sing and dance in the car. Other folks probably don’t like watching me though. I’ve been told by my former pastor that his and my theme song should be the old Phil Collins song— I can’t dance and I can’t sing, it must be something about the way that I walk….
