Every so often a dance comes along that is just tricky enough to take a little practice but with individual steps simple enough that anyone can do it. Think "Macarena." Soulja Boy's eponymous song and dance is in that category...
How can you be "charmed" by any song that refers to women as "ho"s? Even more disturbing is the reference to "Supermanning" them. (If you need to know what it means, I suggest you look it up on UrbanDictionary.com.) I do not think this is the proper website for these videos, as naive as the people in them may be.

Hello? Have you listened to the words? Not something I want my kids (or husband) to be singing or dancing to!

Very appropriate to be "charmed by"
Soulja Boy Off In This Hoe
Watch me Crank It
Watch me Roll
Watch me Crank Dat Soulja Boy
Then Super Man Dat Hoe
Now, Watch me You...

Bob, what's charming here is the fathers entertaining their children by dancing along, not the song's lyrics, which most people seem to assume are nonsense rhymes.

I understand the 'humor' to the situation but I feel it's so sad that a 17 year old punk is singin about explicit lyrics in a way that is subliminal and is a little bit creepy to see unsupecting repectable people being tricked into thinking they are being cool. - Bob

A very good point about the coarsening of our culture, Bob. I am sometimes astounded by the music I hear in elevators, stores, and the gym, and wonder if anyone ever listens to the lyrics.
