Can the Adam West Batman dance, the batusi, save the world? Clearly the answer is yes. If you need further convincing, then read on.

First, I would like to point out that the batusi has it’s own entry in Wikipedia. You’ve gotta love the Internet.

The Batusi

But WHY does the batusi have it’s own entry in Wikipedia? Does the image of Adam West convulsing in a body sock and cape really deserve that distinction? The cynics in the audience will say it’s there “just cuz”, and they may be right. But I think there is more to it. Much more. I think the universe is speaking to us.

You see the batusi may, in fact, be the key to world peace. I submit that it is impossible for a person to remain angry while doing the batusi. (Even without the cape.) Imagine if you will, an international law that required any groups that wanted to go to war with each other to batusi first. Picture armies meeting on the field of battle, laying their weapons on the ground, and busting into the batusi. Within five minutes everyone would lose all interest in fighting. Then the leaders would have to get together to work out differences. But each diplomatic session would be required to begin with eight-and-a-half minutes of batusi-ing. We could get things worked out.

The batusi would also help maintain the peace. The batusi would become the global symbol for a shared human culture. The world could celebrate international Batusi Day. (By now “Batusi” has earned the capital “B”.) Batusi Day will be a day where we put aside our differences and celebrate the human capacity for absurdity.

Adam West has shown us the way, and for that we are forever in his debt, but now it is our turn. The revolution begins with us. Whenever you find yourself in a conflict with your spouse, friend, co-worker, or total stranger, invite them to join you for five minutes of the Batusi. The conflict will end there.

People of the world, let us join together and Batusi for a Better Tomorrow.
