Pauly Shore has been spending a lot of time in D.C. lately. First he popped up for some sightseeing on the National Mall and at the Lincoln Memorial. Then he went on a shopping trip with former Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele.

Just why is the Weasel spending so much time with us these days? On June 30, Shore is headlining the 9:30 Club for his show Pauly-Tics, which will be taped for a broadcast later this year on Showtime.

And now, Shore wants to invite some D.C. residents to join him on stage during the sets. (There’s one at 5:30 p.m. and another at 9.) Wouldn’t that be fun? To party it up with Pauly Shore on one of Washington’s most famous stages.

Well, if the prospect of that has you dreaming of Shore being your newest buuuuuudy, there’s one niggling catch: You need to look like a high-profile U.S. politician or, better yet, a dictator. (And a dead one at that, to boot.) From the website for Pauly-Tics:

Can you be a look-a-like for Kim Jong-Il, [Mahmoud] Ahmadinejad, [Vladimir] Putin, Sarah Palin, [Unspecified] Obama, [Muammar] el-Qaddafi, or Saddam Hussein? If so, please send a one minute YouTube video of you dancing as one of those Look-a-likes to landingpatchjobs@gmail.com subject: D.C. Look-a-likes. Important: MUST reside in the Washington D.C. area!!

Wow! What an opportunity. If you’re picked out of the crowd, you get to join Shore on stage and dance around to LMFAO’s horrible song “Party Rock Anthem.”

So get your epaulets and gold-lamé military uniforms back from the dry cleaner’s and show Pauly Shore what you’ve got. Who knows? This time next week, you could be steeling yourself for the once-in-a-lifetime experience of dancing with an annoying, third-rate comedian while dressed as a terrible dictator who was executed after being dragged out of a sewer. Fame is only fleeting, though.

But hey, maybe it’s your lifelong dream to dress up as Muammar el-Qaddafi or some other awful character from the world stage and stomp your feet to obnoxious bro pop. To get you in the mood, here’s the Kim Jong-Il version of “Party Rock Anthem”:
