Dance Dance Revolution article from 1999 Entertainment Weekly.

I clipped this article back in 1999 when DDR was still an unknown arcade game that had just been released 6 months earlier. This was when DDR still had a strange mystique to it and very few people were willing to try it because it was so different. I like how the article says it COULD be bigger than the Macarena, which at this point I think it is. It also mentions a few music videos that DDR has appeared in like “Five Fathoms” by Everything but the Girl. Besides being a pretty good song and music video, “Five Fathoms” also features shots of the other grand daddy of music games, Beatmania.

Everything but the Girl – Five Fathoms music video on YouTube.
