George W. Bush's jovial jig at Dallas memorial turns heads

Former President George W. Bush caused a stir Tuesday after he swung his arms and swayed during a song at the somber memorial for fallen Dallas police officers.

Can’t stop the feeling, right Mr. President?

Former President George W. Bush caused a stir Tuesday after he swung his arms and enthusiastically swayed during a hymn at a somber memorial for the slain Dallas police officers.

Much to the delight of the Internet, video captured Bush holding hands with his wife and Michelle Obama as he broke into a sort of jig on stage. While most of the people on the stage stood stone-faced and swayed slowly to the music, Bush looked almost jovial, as he swayed and smiled out at the audience.

It all started with a slow march.

While Laura Bush didn’t look too pleased during her husband's emotive dance, Michelle and Barack Obama had a hard time not smiling.

And the Internet wants to know, just how hard was Laura squeezing her husband's hand during that jig?

Others questioned whether alcohol might have played some part in the impromptu turn up.

Maybe Bush knows something about happiness we don't?

There's a time and a place to bust a move!
