People Are Loving Glenn Close Doing “Da Butt” Dance at the Oscars [Photos + Video]

The 93rd Annual Academy Awards were interesting, to say the least, but there’s one moment the internet can collectively agree was the best: Glenn Close’s knowledge of “Da Butt.”

Close showed off said knowledge when Questlove played Experience Unlimited’s 1988 track “Da Butt” from the soundtrack for Spike Lee’s film School Daze during an Oscars trivia segment hosted by Lil Rel Howery. Not only did the 74-year-old know about the song and its history, but she also showed off the track’s dance.

“Wait a second, that’s ‘Da Butt,’” Close said. “It was a classic song by the great Washington DC go-go band E.U., so yeah… shout outs to Sugar Bear and the whole Backyard Band and the whole DMV.”
