  1. Not today’s word of the day, though it should be*

    tar·ant·ism , [tar-uhn-tiz-uhm] –noun

    A mania characterized by an uncontrollable impulse to dance, esp. as prevalent in southern Italy from the 15th to the 17th century, popularly attributed to the bite of the tarantula. Also, tarentism.

    He can’t help it-be it an infomercial jingle, elevator tune, Bangladeshi rap, or a b-track of the Wilson Philips album, Christian has a bad good case of tarantism.
