The Brothers Gibb or How to Entertain yourself while in a traffic jam of doom!

I promised a story, and I keep my promises (at least when it's as simple as wasting time at work).

Way back when, like seven years ago, but not that long, a select grouping of my familial unit and myself were traveling via auto (imagine it said in a German accent) from San Francisco to Reno on our way to vacationing somewhere (the where is irrelevant to the story). Unfortunately, on this evening, many other people also decided to trek that path, and to add to the horrible traffic, throw in a massive accident. It took hours to travel the last few miles. We were stopped absolutely.

We would have gone mad, not being a patient sort of persons, but luckily, we had a cd player and an inexhaustible supply of Bee Gees classics to keep us rocking. That's right, we had a Mobile Disco.

A Mobile or Car Disco is an easy thing to do, but a few rules are attached to the concept.

1. It should probably only be undertaken when in truth all the people in the car can participate. That's not fair to the driver, who often times knows best how to get down. Don't deny them the joy.
2. It's not a Mobile Disco if the music is not disco. Bee Gees = Disco. Pet Shop Boys = Dance. etc. and so forth with other musical genres. Other Mobile dance parties can be fun, don't get me wrong, but don't put the peas in the spaghetti; or call a spade a spade.
3. As an adjunct to Rule 1, it is best enjoyed when the car is forced to a complete halt. Example: horrendous traffic jam of doom, or a bridge being raised and stopping traffic, or a really long train crossing. That way, the cars around are also stopped, and those passengers will be in complete awe of how exactly is that guy doing the hustle in the back seat (trade secret) and the joy derived from the incident will be that much greater because you shared with others. Or, others may decide to join with you, and that can be pretty awesome too.

Some suggestions on how the occasion can be improved (upon what? you say that what I have outlined above can not possibly get any better? Well My Friends, read and learn):

1. Sing along. Singing along to a Brothers Gibb classic improves everything, and the overall aerobic experience is bettered by singing and dancing. While in most life falsetto is not a great idea, here's your chance to go for it.
2. Make your own strobe light. I don't know if the newfangled cars of today can achieve the effect quite so well, but in the classic we were driving that night, the rapid open/close of a door caused the interior light to strobe. Take turns doing this, because after a while, you get tired. Doors are not light and easy to control. But only one person do it at a time, otherwise, the rhythmic pattern is ruined.
3. Roll down the windows. Ventilation helps. This also allows people around you to participate unobstructed.
   
4. Take this and apply it to your regular life (non-vehicular).
