I listened to the Pixies and They Might Be Giants all day today. TMBG's more recent albums, Mink Car and The Spine. They are true geniuses and shamefully underappreciated.
I'm going nuts trying to find this obscure song, and hope someone here can help.
I found it on Songza's "blogged 50" playlist. It's a disco-y track by a guy with a regular name like "steve G. smith" or something simple like that (not that name obviously).
The video starts with him walking into a theatre, where girls are all lined up to tryout as dancers for something. He sees a girl at the front of the line, and tells her to stop trying, she's never gonna be good enough.
Turns out she is an awesome dancer, and they end up disco dancing together at the end of the video.
I remember the youtube video had something like 10000 views or less when i saw it, so I'm not too hopeful, but maybe someone here knows.
The blogged 50 list changes weekly, and this was in Nov or Dec. I think it's off there now, as I've listened to the list a crapload lately to try and hear it, and it's not coming up.
