Katseye and the Gap are giving us something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue.
In a new ad campaign, titled “Better in Denim,” Gap trades on a tried-and-true formula for the clothing company: a hit song, an infectious dance and blue jeans. https://cnn.it/4lOW0PU

Nostalgia's influence on grooving to music explored in study
Getting one's groove on, A.K.A. busting a move, is an age-old tradition that dates back more than 50,000 years to the time of Neanderthals and Cro-Magnon humans, who rhythmically writhed to drumming and even vocalizations.
