All about 'that' routine

Sometimes an episode of 'Friends' can be summed up in one scene, to the point where all the other storylines in it are forgotten.

Here the defining scene is Ross/Monica dancing 'the routine'. It's by far the best bit of what actually is another good episode.

Trivia
In the uncut DVD version of the episode, Rachel, Phoebe and Chandler go to Central Perk in search of the presents Monica had hidden from them. Rachel flirts with Gunther to try and find out where they are and he faints. Also, after the countdown to New Year's on set, Ross and Monica continue to dance on the platform after everyone leaves.

Goofs
In the first few seconds of the show after the theme song, right after he mentions the origin of the Dreidle, Ross can be seen mouthing words though no sound comes out.
