True story: I was in Dodge City, Kansas, about 35 years ago for a friend’s wedding. At the time, they had no bars in the city (or maybe even in the state), but they had “clubs”, where you paid $1.00 for a lifetime membership (to drink). So, while we were in there, cowboys - not city-slickers in $500 outfits, but real, honest-to-god cowboys who had been bringing in some cattle - stopped into the bar after, no doubt, they got paid. There was a dearth of women in the bar, so they danced with each other - to “Whip It”. It was an absolutely surreal scene.

Hehe...I can imagine ...Reminds me of the time my ( rock ) band was hired by an ad agency in Tokyo to dress up like cowboys and play C&W music in front of one of the most popular dept. stores in one of the busiest areas ( Shibuya ) of Tokyo ( and in other cities across Japan - good buckeroos ) \. Surreal - esp. in the early evening with all the neon glowing .
