On October 2nd 1991; this documentary was aired in the US and a little while later, aired in the UK on Channel 4 - where I recorded it on videotape. I later transferred it to DVD-R, then a hard drive and now it's finally online.
Still relevant for today, remember a better more fun and imaginative time for music videos.

![The Lockers & The Electric Boogaloos
The Electric Boogaloo are a street dance crew responsible for the spread of popping and electric boogaloo. The name Boogaloo came from a song called Do a Boogaloo by James Brown, which was also adapted as a Boogaloo street dance done from Oakland, CA. They were founded by Boogaloo Sam in Fresno, California in 1977. Their original name was the Electric Boogaloo Lockers but Lockers was dropped the following year.
The Lockers (originally named The Campbell Lockers) was a dance group formed by Toni Basil and Don Campbellock Campbell in 1971. Active throughout the 1970s, they were pioneers of street dance. Don Campbell is the founder of the locking dance style, and originally, Locking was called The Campbellock—a style that was based on the dance and song that Don Campbell created. Toni Basil met Campbell at a club in 1971 and together they formed The Lockers as a dance group. Toni Basil also served as The Lockers manager, and was responsible for staging the act. All the dancers contributed steps and choreography with their unique and individual styles. By 1975 they were Dancing their way to stardom on their own.[1] Individual members contributions (as soloist performers) to the dance style and group image coupled with their unique presentation in staging and concept broke down many barriers. It has been said on the reality dance competition So You Think You Can Dance that The Lockers emergence on the dance scene changed the face of dance not only for street dancers but for dance in general and has made street dance a true American art form.
