RSSIn Danger’s way: Locals release second humorous music video
The enigmatic Joshua Danger.

Joshua Danger feels compassion for the older man who can’t get a date.
“Why can’t the older guys get the younger girls too?” is the thought that inspired his newest song, “DILF: Dads I’d Like to Funk,” which was released on YouTube Thursday, June 1.
“It’s like Bob Saget meets Justin Timberlake,” Danger said with a laugh while hiking up his tube socks during the rehearsal for the new video at KidzPlex last month.
Both videos were cast, shot and produced in Grand Junction by Danger and Seth Schaeffer of Hoptocopter Films.
“This one is going to be more music video, but not with the continuity,” he said.
It took only a week to complete filming. Many older Grand Junction men joined the cast to represent sexy dads everywhere.
Joshua Danger became a modest YouTube sensation last fall with his first Internet video, “I Will Make You (Sex With Me),” which currently counts more than 55,000 views.
The new video is not the highly anticipated sequel, but Schaeffer promised that video was still in the works.
Danger plays himself in the videos. He’s a self-proclaimed ladies man who drives a Cushman Tote-Goat and impresses women with his fast-fingered collar flip. He’s dangerous, mostly to himself, has a superb singing voice and a fashion style matched only by Steve Martin.
The Daily Sentinel caught up with the Internet superstar to find out just what makes the man so dangerous.
Sentinel: What makes you most “dangerous?”
Danger: I think the danger factor ties into the fact that I’m not afraid to watch any movie. “Glitter.” I’ve watched “Glitter” about 32 times. “The Land Before Time” — I will watch that and I don’t care. Those little dinosaurs are as cute as pie and I’m not afraid to admit that. To some, that’s dangerous. I will insult any wild animal. A shark, a wild boar, a rabid rooster — I’ll insult anything. I’ll look only one way before crossing a street.
Sentinel: What hair products do you use to create your signature “Danger Curl?”
Danger: Mostly animal spices. Various and sundry ointments that I’ve found in the Hindu Kush mountain range. That area is great for that. The secret is in the twist. I’ve learned to do it both right-handed and left-handed. I can twist it and it will stay for a day. You could hang clothes on that thing. It’s great. I actually fell from a building once and the danger curl caught a nail and I hung there for about three hours until the paramedics got me down, but that’s another story.
Sentinel: What kinds of moves do you use to impress the ladies?
Danger: Mostly the collar flip. It’s all in the twist again. The wrists are a very important part of the body and most men underestimate that. The elbow snap is another one. The women just go crazy over that. But, the collar pop really is my weapon of choice when it comes to impressing the females. Oh, neck spin, hiney scoot, and double knee slap are also great moves.
Sentinel: How does it feel to be an Internet sensation?
Danger: Well, I live a sensational life, so nothing really new there. Just going to the grocery store is sensational. You should see how I get food. For example, if I’m going to go to a fast food lounge and I know that what I want to order is a burrito then I’m not going to get in line and stand there. What I do is kick the door open and say “burrito time” and I’m pointing at myself. This inevitably causes a scene. I think the sensation is more of a state of being than anything, so naturally converting it to the cyber world just made sense.
Sentinel: Where did you learn your sweet dance moves?
Danger: Those come to me in visions. They just happen upon me. I could be reading a book and a dance move happens and suddenly I’ve created something organic and amazing. And it bears the need to be repeated on a global scale. I look to nature for dance move. The zebra or the elk — they rarely steer you wrong. And I’m currently working on a move called “The Cave Man’s Bladder,” so keep an eye out for that one.
Sentinel: How long did it take you to grow the ‘stache?
Danger: That’s a unique story. I can actually grow it overnight. If I want to shave it off at night then I can go ahead and go to bed and know that there will be another one there tomorrow.
Sentinel: Describe the “Danger” style.
Danger: Danger style is an anything-goes approach to life. It’s neckerchiefs. It’s boots. It’s neckerchiefs and boots. It’s not only wearing but rocking the clothing — the clothing that my forefathers wore like elderly man pants. It’s short-shorts with sock extensions. It’s not for everybody, but that’s danger style.
Sentinel: Who are the “dangerous” men you most admire?
Danger: John Cash. Fred Mercury. Smoke Robinson. Mikey Jackson. Will Nelson. Bill Joel. Thomas Cruz. Jonathon Bon Jovi. The list just goes on.
Sentinel: You write your own songs — what inspires your unpredicatable lyrics?
Danger: Much like my dance moves, they just come to me in visions. They come from whence. A large part of my writing is influenced by the New York Stock Exchange. If we have a bear market I write songs about forgery of love. If we have a bull market I’ll write songs of inconsequence or desire. That’s a good gauge on my writing. But, sometimes I will just close my eyes and listen to the wind and the lyrics just blow into my ear. The wind is a big inspiration.
Sentinel: Tell me about the new song and video.
Danger: That is just touching on the older guys. The Bob Sagets of the world. They just want to be your DILF. Joshua Danger wants to sing and perform and get the message out about the dads who just want to be your DILF.”
Sentinel: What kind of advice would you give to someone wanting to live more “dangerously”?
Danger: Avoid it. Maybe go back to college get a degree in something.
COMMENTS
Commenting is not available in this channel entry.Personally I think this is pure smut and I am suprised Seth and Carrie King - Schafer are involved. Seeing K. Decker was a suprise.His grand mother wrote ” Christian Mother Goose”. And Hey , Daily Sentinel. You know what DILF stands for. Is that what your paper finds news worthy ????????
my-opinion you must live a boring life!
Dear Mr. “my-opinion,”
You obviously know me, being that you mentioned my wife (who isn’t mentioned at all in the story). Grow some balls, pick up the phone, and talk to me in person. Your concern is worth hearing, but your cowardice approach has not given me the option.
Stop hiding behind a screen name and actually communicate. You know where to find me. I’m awaiting your call.
Sincerely,
Seth Schaeffer
Way to go Seth. This no opnion person is a joke. Video is very funny, and that is all it is supposed to be funny. It is supposed to make people laugh, which from what I have heard people are doing. Why does it matter that Deckers Grandma wrote “christian Mother Goose”. I believe that this person has no life as well. By the way this is what smut means. Smut (fungus), a group of plant parasitic fungi
Smut (comics), an adult British comic title dating back to the 1980s
A colloquial term for pornography or obscenity
Smut (Dubstep Producers), a team of electronic music (primarily dubstep) producers.
Not sure if the video qualifies as smut. Yes it was a little out of the box. Thanks
Sorry I meant my-opinion. Not no opinion.
Call you I may, But in the mean time here is the heart of my point. DILF refers to the “F” word and I find that offencive and do not believe it has a place in this forum. I also know most of you have a christian up bringing and this sexual humour is in conflict with that as well. This really is a no brainer. I would like to see Johnny raise the bar. Lets see if Dirty Johnny can be funny without the “smut” ..... yes that fungus growing on his material. PS Seth. I have opined the performance not the performer. Your personal insults show your lack of maturity.BUt your video work is good.
“My-Opinion,”
I care not to invalidate your perspective or to “insult” you. I will approach our discussion with humility as you should do the same. I sincerely look forward to our discussion as I don’t care to have any unneeded enemies, known or unknown.
I won’t be responding here anymore, so just give me a call with any responses.
