Walken like there's something this number five karaoke search-and-destroy we're not gonna mince words this movie is weird and what would a weird movie be without an out-of-place karaoke scene starring Christopher Walken though he's only a supporting player in this 1995 drama playing an eccentric rich guy who lives life on the edge he is definitely everything in this scene he's my friend walkins eating dinner when all of a sudden he gets up walks slowly yet confidently to the microphone at the front of the room and starts singing and tap-dancing for some reason and everyone in the room is smiling when he takes the stage that's walking for you always pleasing his public [Music] [Applause] number four these boots are made for dancing Puss in Boots walkin definitely flaunts his theatrical roots in this film not only does he dance he also sings his heart out and when both happened at the same time it's just beautiful [Music] throughout this retelling of the classic tale of puss-in-boots Walken as puss shows off his finely tuned skills and cat-like reflexes using them to confidently stand out every time he's on screen however the most notable moment has to be when Walken dances into a kitchen and proceeds to jump on a table and let his dancing feet fly number three timeless to me hairspray okay we'll admit that matching John Travolta in dance in drag is a daunting prospect like come on he's been in some of the most iconic dance movies of all time but Walken accepts the challenge and more than holds up his end of the bargain in this rowdy musical the world is changing a little too fast for this old married couple but in a moment of doubt they sing that their love for each other will never fade and they dance of course and not just one style of dance from a tango to a waltz to the can-can the pair clearly has a great time it's definitely not just acting either number two let's misbehave pennies from heaven [Music] there go those tap and feet again and you know what that's not even the best part of this dance routine as Tom the pimp walkin is surrounded by scantily clad women of the night Winnie embarks on a tap number performed on top of a pool table two of those ladies help him out with his striptease yep you heard that right Christopher Walken performs a striptease his goal to convince Lulu portrayed by the talented Bernadette Peters to become a prostitute [Music] well if anyone's up for that challenge its Christopher Walken [Music] before we danced our way to our top pick here are some honorable mentions number one the music video weapon of choice by Fat Boy slim who could deny the spike jonze directed music video the top spot Fat Boy slim may have produced the song but the true star of this moment in music history is obviously Christopher Walken the man completely owns the screen as he dances around a deserted hotel lobby there were those tap-dancing feet those boogying arms and those grooving hips and his musical theater dance training is on full display is it any wonder this music video not only won multiple awards at the 2001 MTV Video Awards but also took home the 2002 Grammy Award for Best short form music video and walk and probably danced all the way home - do you agree with our picks check out these other great clips from WatchMojo and subscribe for new videos every day
