See Yoko Ono Dance With ?uestlove, Beastie Boys, and Ira Glass

Yoko Ono 'Bad Dancer' Video Questlove Beastie Boys Ira Glass

Even a “Bad Dancer” should have a good dancing partner, and Yoko Ono finds hers in ?uestlove above. The two share an endearingly awkward slow dance to the bubbly beat of the aforementioned song, and they aren’t the only hot-steppers on the floor. The Ben Dickinson-directed video also features — deep breath — Beastie Boys Ad-Rock and Mike DThis American Life host Ira Glass, Das Racist co-founder Heems, soul legend Roberta Flack, recent YouTube Music Awards host Reggie Watts, Deerhoof drummer Greg Saunier, ’90s alt-pop stars Cibo Matto, activist filmmaker Josh Fox, performance artist Justin Vivian Bond, and the very good dancers of Ani Taj’s Dance Cartel. The song itself is, in fact, a collaboration with the Beasties on the beats. “Bad Dancer” hails from Take Me to the Land of Hell, Ono’s out-now 15th album, credited to the Plastic Ono Band.
