Looks like the Saudis have been watching a little too much Footloose.

A 14-year-old boy in Saudi Arabia was detained and grilled by cops for filming a video at a street crossing — in which he dances to the “Macarena.”

The teen, whose name and nationality were not released, was being questioned Tuesday in the coastal city of Jeddah just days after the jovial clip went viral on social media.

While the footage first appeared online in 2016, it was later removed and didn’t resurface online until last week, the Middle East Eye reports.

Saudi police said they detained the 14-year-old for “improper public behavior” and disrupting traffic following a “confidential investigation.” It was not clear, though, if he will be formally charged.

In the 45-second video, the teen can be seen doing the Macarena — yes, the catchy 1990s dance craze that took the world by storm — while standing in front of a row of cars.

The vehicles all appear to be stopped at a red light as the boy busts each and every move with ease — all while decked out in a striped t-shirt, gray Nike sports shorts, and Crocs.

“Apparently, being happy is considered a crime nowadays,” joked a Twitter user.

“That’s the kind of son I wanna have,” another wrote.

Earlier this month, Saudi police arrested a local singer for busting the “dab” move during an onstage performance.

Abdallah al-Shahani, who was later released, was caught on camera performing the dance at a music festival in the city of Taif in southwestern Saudi Arabia.

While it’s become a pop culture phenomenon in America, the move had been banned in the country by the National Committee for Drug Control, under the claim that it promoted drug use.
