ECONOMY WOLF: MOUNT ALLEN
We went down, we went down - how far who knows. Foot loose meets head loose, one frame at a time.
Mount Allen continues the legend of Yellow Kudra, embodied by Johannes 'Your Highness' Ender. His performance started out as a frame-by-frame recreation of Kevin Bacon's warehouse dance from Foot Loose. But something went wrong, somehow.
