Urkel, The - Steve Urkel, the nerdy black teenager on the sitcom FAMILY MATTERS/ABC/CBS/1989-98 performed a dance of his own creation at a school function. Called the "Urkel" it went something like this:

"If you wanna do the Steve Urkel dance, all you have to do is hitch up your pants, bend your knees and stick out your pelvis, I'm telling you baby, its better than Elvis..."

The dance is accompanied by a cheap disco beat and included moves that drop to the ground backwards and fingers that point to the sky, ending with Steve's irritating snorting Hee, Hee, Hee laughter. Jaleel White who played Steve Urkel performed his dance at the opening number of the 1991 Annual Comedy Awards and even got hostess Bea Arthur into the act.
