https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHheBBA7zWc On Tuesday, I posted a preview clip of Shaq lip syncing Michael Sembello’s Maniac and I have to admit that I was nervous. Now that I have seen the full performance from Spike TV’s Lip Sync Battle, my bra is off to him.
He totally captured Flashdance’s essence. So much so, Jennifer Beals and Sembello have to be proud of him. Even when he sat back on that chair, pulled on that chain and let the water cascade down on him.
A moment that left LL Cool J on the floor, unable to get up. Actually we were all down there with him because this is by far the best performance to date on LSB! How can anyone top a 7’1″ basketball player?
Shaquille O’Neal went undercover for Lyft and shockingly no one recognized him. Yes, he wore a lot of different disguises, but how many men are over 7′ tall? Plus, no matter what he dressed up as, he still sounded like Shaq. But that is me and not them.
When it comes to my favorite costume, I loved him as the nerd! He should dress like that more often. What do you think was his best disguise.

Shaquille O’Neal is going to be on this Thursday’s Lip Sync Battle and he is going to do his thing to Michael Sembello’s Maniac from Flashdance on the Spike TV competition show.
While the legendary dance scene from the 1983 movie has be recreated so many times in so many different ways, it has never been done like this before and hopefully never again. I am just hoping it doesn’t end with the Basketball player lying backwards on a chair and pulling on a chain that rains down gallons of water all over his body. That is one image I can live without seeing.
Now that we have seen this, I wonder what Jennifer Beals thinks of him recreating her defining moment from the beloved classic. A film that taught me how to take of my bra while wearing a bra.
We have all done the Chicken Dance, the Electric Slide, the Hustle, the Time Warp, the Macarena, the Whip/Nae Nae and soon we will be doing the Gorilla Dab. The what? We know that Shaquille O’Neal has some really smooth moves on the basketball court and now we get to see that he also has them on the dance floor. Shaq has created a new dance craze to Feenix’s Bipolar’s Gorilla Dab and he is challenging you to add to it.
So give it your best try because come the next wedding or Bar Mitzvah you attend, you will be doing it with all the other dancers.
You know the Toys “R” Us theme song when it says, “I don’t wanna grow up, cause maybe if I did,
I couldn’t be a Toys ‘R’ Us kid.” Well, looks like that is the case for Shaquille O’Neal. The 7’1″ former basketball player went into the toy store and bumped the top of his head into a display that was standing by the entrance. So maybe because he grew up to be too tall, he can’t enjoy it there anymore.
Nah, you are never too old or too tall to be a Toys “R” Us a kid! At least that is what Shaq and I tell ourselves every time we go there.
