Learn the Bop by record! (1958)

And have a "Learn the Bop" party with the gang!

Also, I am completely unable to squat like that. I'll never learn the Bop.

You're not the only one. I have bad knees. So, if I squatted down like that, my knees would probably pop out of socket. My back would more than likely be pissed at me, too.

A "bop" in the parlance of my 1980s Northern Virginia adolescence was a girl with mall bangs perceived to be shallow, airheaded, and image-obsessed. "Preppies" and "bowheads" (definitely a southern thing), trailed by "soshes"/"social bops" are the other leading terms I discovered through an AskMetafilter question about this.
