Never heard of a samba botafogo dance move before. "Bota fogo" means
"put on fire". :)
La Cucaracha, you certainly know the song, right? Cucaracha is cockroach...

Sometimes their inventors, sometimes the public.

That's funny, because la Cucaracha is much more well known than the
other two.

The article claims it's named after a town.
Given that there's a dance move called a New York, and another called an
American spin, that's not so surprising I guess.
Remind me to never *ever* miss 3 dance classes in a row ever again... I
turned up again afterwards, and they're like "OK, now let's do this
dance", and I'm like "WTF is a Botafogo?! HELP!"

Um... no.
> Cucaracha is cockroach...
And the dance move involves rubbing your toe on the ground like you're
squishing a cockroach. ;-)
