Australia's Nutbush Dance: A Tribute to Tina Turner

TL;DR Summary
Australians have a special connection to Tina Turner's song "Nutbush City Limits" and its accompanying line dance, despite the fact that the dance was never performed by Turner herself and the song was not a huge hit. The dance is thought to have originated from a scheme combining creative arts and physical education in primary schools in New South Wales or Queensland, but its spread was likely due to individual teachers. The country's keenest Nutbush fans have set world records for the largest number of people performing the dance.
