I've been watching a few live performances recently and noticed Barney likes to go "Whoop" and hop and run into place quite often on stage. Why does he do this? Is it a disorder of some sort? Seems he gets hit a mountain of energy before every gig. Has he ever pubicly discussed the disease?

Please refer to 'Barney In Ibiza' for the various theories why Barney (used to) have so much energy at gigs, did silly dancing, etc...

Long term effects of Pernod & Ecstasy poisoning.
Perhaps he is just having fun on stage.
(I was going to respond, "are we supposed to take this question seriously. Just how long have you been a fan?)

Because he CAN
or
Why NOT?
and
because he's gone way past caring about not looking cool and wants to enjoy himself as well as entertain us.
So, come on, how many of us have tried the 'running man' dance? WELL???
Bernard talked about his whooping in a Q's Cash For Questions:
You and Michael Jackson are the only pop stars who whoop. Discuss.Heather Thompson, London N8Ha ha ha! Well, I get excited. Whooping's a primeval expression of enjoyment, and sometimes if I'm getting into a vocal take, I just get into it. If I'm at a club, I like whistling... I was at a club in Bath and this girl got a bouncer over to stop me (demonstrates incredibly powerful piercing whistle). I don't get excited very often but when I do, I get very excited. I'll stop doing it now, I'll get self-conscious about it.

Some wanker:
Is it true that Touched By The Hand Of God is about whacking off? Aidan Vaziri, San Francisco
Barney:
(Long pause followed by wide-eyed response) What's whacking off mean? (It is explained to him) I would not write a song about masturbating. No, it's not, most definitely isn't. And I've never that in my life ever. Ever. Do people really do that? Masturbate? Do you masturbate? I've never done it ever in my life. I've certainly never written a song about it. (Confidently) It's about bestiality, actually.
maybe Barney could make music to listen to for working out. He could even feature in the promo:)
