Sex Fact #124

The goat dance or 'Capra' appears in the habit of the New Year's Eve as a symbol of fertility and fecundity, connecting the Romanian territory to the Greek antiquity and to the Oriental civilizations.

Some Romanian villagers sing a song that accompanies a traditional goat dance. The lyrics to the song are so sexually suggestive that various news outlets, like CNN, have refused to translate them when reporting on the festivities.

The goat dance is a frantic dance, which is executed for thousands of years in every carolled house.

In her song 'California', from the 1971 album, 'Blue', Joni Mitchell sang: "I met a redneck on a Grecian Isle. We did the Goat Dance Very Well. He gave me back my smile, but he kept my camera to sell."
