(Damn you KoK)
We can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
'Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
Well they're no friends of mine
I say, we can go where we want to
A place where they will never find
And we can act like we come from out of this world
Leave the real one far behind
And we can dance
We can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
'Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
Well they're no friends of mine
I say, we can go where we want to
A place where they will never find
And we can act like we come from out of this world
Leave the real one far behind
And we can dance
Dance!
We can go when we want to
The night is young and so am I
And we can dress real neat from our hats to our feet
And surprise 'em with the victory cry
Say, we can act if want to
If we don't nobody will
And you can act real rude and totally removed
And I can act like an imbecile
I say, we can dance, we can dance
Everything out of control
We can dance, we can dance
We're doing it from wall to wall
We can dance, we can dance
Everybody look at your hands
We can dance, we can dance
Everybody takin' the cha-a-a-ance
Safety dance
Is it safe to dance
Is it safe to dance
We can dance if we want to
We've got all your life and mine
As long as we abuse it, never gonna lose it
Everything'll work out right
I say, we can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
'Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
Well they're no friends of mine
Is it safe to dance, oh is it safe to dance
Is it safe to dance
And who doesn't love Bonhomme...

And I thought it was all just nonsense
"Dancing on unsafe surfaces is far more dangerous than many realize."

I just hope that midget from the "Safety Dance" video doesn't live near you. He's kind of creepy.

...you know what is really weird, the singer of Men Without Hats lives in a loft two streets from my house (Ivan something-sky)....he still dresses like its the 80s. Creepy.....all I can think is why couldnt the singer of Dexy's Midnight Runners live near me. |

But how I needed you, when I needed you.
Let`s not forget we are so strong, so bloody strong.
I posted some classic 80's song lyrics then Carolynanna sunk to the lowest of lows from my 80's memories and posted Safety Dance. As lon as we don't go the spandex route, I guess I'll survive.

Hmmm, what about this one?
Its been stuck in my head since yesterday.
They put a parking lot on a piece of land,
Where the super market used to stand.
Before that, they put up a bowling alley,
On the site that used to be the local Pali.
That's where the big bands used to come and play,
My sister went there on a Saturday.
Come dancing! All her boyfriends used to come and call,
Come dancing! It's only natural........
Another Saturday, another date,
She would be ready but she'd always make him wait.
In the hallway in anticipation,
He didn't know the night would end up in frustration.
He'd end up blowing all his wages for the week,
All for a cuddle and a peck on the cheek.
Come dancing! Is how they did it when I was just a kid
And when they said come dancing my sister always did .......
My sister should have come in at midnight,
And my mom would always sit up and wait.
It always ended up in a big row,
When my sister used to get home late.
Out of my window, I could see them in the moonlight,
Two sillohettes, saying goodnight by the garden gate.
The day they knocked down the Pali,
My sister stood and cried.
The day they knocked down the Pali,
Part of my childhood died.....(just died)
Now I'm grown up and playing in a band,
And there's a car lot where the Pali used to stand.
My sister's married and she lives on an estate,
Her daughters go out, now it's her turn to wait.
She lets them get away with things she never could,
But if I asked her, I wonder if she would......
Come dancing! Come on, Sister, have yourself a ball!
Don't be afraid to come dancing it's only natural!
Come dancing! Just like the Pali on a Saturday,
All of your friends'll come dancing
While the big bands used to play ........ |

I was really hoping it wouldn't come to this.
You've stepped over the line with this piece of trash. ; )

Everybody talk about pop musik

Singing in the subway
Shuffle with a shoe shine
Fix me a molotov

Wanna be a gun slinger
Don't be a rock singer
Eenie meenie mynie moe
Tell me where you wanna go
Talk about, pop musik

La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
Dance in the supermart
Dig it in the fastlane
Listen to the countdown
They're playin' our song again
I can't get jumping jack
I wanna hold - get back
Moonlight muzak
Knick knack patty whack
Talk about, pop musik

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls
Pop Goes the World by Men Without Hats
Johnny played guitar, Jenny played bass.
Name of the band is The Human Race.
Everybody tell me have you heard? Pop goes the world.
Jenny played keyboard, Johnny played drums,
Called Little Baby and a big Bonhomme
Everybody tell me have you heard? Pop Goes The World.
It goes something like this: (p p p pop)
Johnny and Jenny had a crazy dream,
See their pictures in a magazine.
Every little boy needs a girl.
Pop Goes The World.
Jenny and Johnny getting smart (it seems)
Made more money on a movie screen.
Every little nest needs a bird.
Pop Goes The World.
One two three and four is five,
Everybody here is a friend of mine.
Whatever happened to the Duke of Earl?
Pop Goes The World.
Six seven eight and nine is ten,
Send Al Gunn to see the doctor (Ben)
Say what planet are we on? The third!
Pop Goes The World.
And Every time I wonder where the world went wrong,
End up lying on my face going ringy dingy ding dong
And every time I wonder if the world is right,
End up in some disco dancin' all night & day.
Johnny played guitar, Jenny played bass,
Name of the band is The Human Race.
Everybody tell me have you heard? Pop Goes The World.
Johnny played guitar, Jenny played bass,
Ain't nobody couldn't take their place.
Everybody tell me have you heard? Pop Goes The World....

Like the Waitresses, Men Without Hats are another great, misunderstood one-hit wonder group.
Their Pop Goes the World LP is one of the great unsung pop albums I'm aware of. |
