The biggest winners of the Eagles’ season so far are a dancing Gillie Da King and his giant hat

Dressed head to toe in Eagles gear — usually featuring a colossal Noggin Boss baseball hat — Nasir “Gillie Da King” Fard kicked off each and every Eagles game this season with, let’s call it, a one-man line dance.

The infectious two-step, supremely choreographed to the beloved 1986 Cameo tune “Candy,” is a hilarious burst of Eagles green joy, peppered with unapologetic Philly pride. It has united the city — Eagles fans, non-Eagles fans and people of all races, genders, and creeds— at during a funky time when we can all use a little good news, distraction, and hope.

Gillie struts, throws it up, waves it away, and walks it off — all the while giving us his best stank face in front of the South Jersey home where he and Wallace “Wallo” Peeples record their insanely popular podcast, Million Dollaz Worth of Game. (Note to reader: stank faces are good faces when dancing.)

On the weeks the Birds lost, there was grumbling, cussing, but no more dancing. But when the Eagles won — and they were the victors in 14 games during the regular season this year — it was an all-out party.

Gillie would return to the driveway joined by his homie JoJo — “he’s just JoJo” — dressed as a tiny bird and break out into the Gillie dance. After the win, however, Too Short’s 2006 earworm “Blow the Whistle” thumped in the background.

“I did the pregame song, ‘Candy’ because every game we play is that sweet,” Gillie said recently. “‘Blow the Whistle,’ that’s the perfect celebration song. It’s as simple as that.”

And here’s the best part: As Gillie and JoJo danced and laughed and danced some more, neighbor Jake “Broom Man” Swane appeared in the distance, eased across the street with a broom, and joined the party with his own slightly off-key two-step.

The Eagles swept their opponents again and again and each time, Gillie was there to get down with the get down.

Gillie — or perhaps it’s his people — uploaded each pre and postgame performance during the preseason and regular season to Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, where they rack up tens — sometimes hundreds — of thousands of views.

The dance, a viral sensation, has made Gillie, 41, an even bigger star than he already is. The Eagles have taken notice. With his humor, bravado, and in-your-face charm, he will again lead The Birds through the tunnel and on to the field for the third week in a row in this weekend’s pivotal NFC Championship game against the Washington Commanders.

A life-long Eagles fan, he’s psyched about his impact on the city’s joy.

“It feels amazing,” Gillie said. “I’m just so proud of my team.”

And because there is no Gillie without Wallo, his podcast mate will join him,

“Every time he’s winning, I‘m winning,” said Wallo — who goes by Wallo267 on the socials — “I love putting the good energy out there and this is so much great energy. The city is hype. We are all loving it.”

On Week 18 — the Sunday the Birds went up against the New York Giants — Gillie posted a video teaching fans how to do his fancy footwork, “so that everybody doing his dance would do it right.”

Countless fans, green blood bubbling in their veins, are posting to Gillie’s Instagram with their own Broom Man and flapping bird — some tiny, some not. Gillie’s celebrity has extended to JoJo and The Broom Man, both of whom attended the Jan. 12 with him against the Packers. The threesome were able to hang out with the team in the locker room, making for fun social media fodder. It was the Broom Man’s first Eagles game.

Before last Sunday’s game against the L.A. Rams, Too Short performed Gillie’s dance with Gillie, to the tune of 60K views, and counting.

In a video posted earlier this week, he asked the city’s celebrities including : Meek Mill, Kevin Hart, Patti LaBelle, Jazmine Sullivan, Tierra Whack to join his epidemic and post videos of themselves doing the dance with the city.

At this rate, it won’t be long before Gillie’s dance is on its way to joining the Electric Slide and Cha-Cha Slide at weddings.
