Show them how funky, strong is your fight

There's this famous club in Montreal called Metropolis. Been around since Michael Jackson had an afro. Circa 1995, they used to have these big latin-salsa nights every Thursday night in the summer. My friends and I used to go quite regularly because the music was always amazing.

One night, my crazy neighbour Nathalie and I stayed until closing at 3 a.m. As we were leaving, we noticed a commotion on the sidewalk right in front of the club. We push through the crowd a little to see what's going on. These two guys--one latino, one white-- are in some kind of fight. They're circling each other in that stupid macho way. The white guy is cut across his cheek. The latino dude is holding a switchblade and yelling at the top of his lungs: "YOU WANNA FIGHT TO ME? YOU WANNA FIGHT TO ME? YOU STEAL MY WOMAN?? I KEEL TO YOU!!!"

Nathalie, who is quite plastered, thinks this is the funniest thing she's ever heard in her life. She starts shrieking with laughter and mocking the latino guy: "YOU WANNA FIGHT TO ME?? HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! OMG, WHAT A LOSER!!!" I literally drag her away toward the subway entrance before she gets us both killed.

Anyway, this video, which I caught while channel surfing just now, has always reminded me of that incident. The fight scene looks like a homoerotic Lionel Richie-Darryl Hall smackdown.
