Do the John Wall

Article by: Courtney Scoufis, M&M TIPster

You might have seen some Tipsters walking around singing, “John Wall,” and moving their left wrist back and forth while keeping their arm in a flexed position. If so, you’re not alone, the Media and the Message class has gone crazy over this song. How did this originate you might ask?
While reading an article that was on the News & Observers the class stumbled upon a foreign term, “Do the John Wall.” It was later Googled and after much searching a music video by Troop 41 came up. Mr. Graybeal, the Media and the Message instructor, blasted the song. It was an instant hit with the class. It has been played in the classroom multiple times and is always stuck in the student’s heads. When the Media and the Message Tipsters are singing the song, the all so catchy dance is not far behind.
The creator of the dance, John Wall, was a 6-4 point guard for the Kentucky Wildcats when he created it. It was a simple flexed arm power move that he did during his first appearance on the court. Since then it has become a phenomenon. The song that was created to go along with it by Troop 41 is on iTunes and on YouTube. You too can learn the John Wall.
