Subject: We can dance if we want to!
Dude this song is so awesome. Anyone know this song...it is so very 80's. I think Men Without Hats sings it! Holla back if you like it too! ;)

"Safety Dance".
Believe it or not, they actually played the video of this song on "Captain Kangaroo" in its last year. Then there's Weird Al's singing of the theme of "Brady Bunch" using the tune to this song.
Subject: Re: We can dance if we want to!
It's a good song but the video is extremely corny!
they look like people you'd see at creedmore(no offense to others here) ;D
howard :D
Subject: Re: We can dance if we want to!
Another silly song of the 1980's that I still love! They even used the video on "Beavis & Butt-Head"!
Subject: Re: We can dance if we want to!
I've even sung it at karaoke night at our local bar, much to the delight of the others ;D
Subject: Re: We can dance if we want to!
I LUV this song..lol... They actually played it the other night at a dance club I frequent, and you bet your booty I was up there shakin' it 8)
True about the video...I thought it was cheesy...
Subject: Re: We can dance if we want to!
Ahhh, there is nothing like one-hit wonders. But I must confess, I like the song too (cheesey or not).

Ssss-Aaaa-Ffff-Eeee-Tttt-Yyyy
Safety-Dance!
Ah 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 are 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 are 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.
Francois!
Ah 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
I 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 control
We can dance, we can dance we're doing it wall to wall
We can dance, we can dance everybody look at your hands
We can dance, we can dance everybody takin' the chance
Safety dance
Oh well the safety dance
Ah yes the safety dance
Ssss-Aaaa-Ffff-Eeee-Tttt-Yyyy
Safety-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 are no friends of mine
I say we can dance, we can dance everything out control
We can dance, we can dance we're doing it wall to wall
We can dance, we can dance everybody look at your hands
We can dance, we can dance everybody's takin' the chance
Oh Well the safety dance
ah yes the safety dance
Oh well the safety dance
Oh well the safety dance
Oh yes the safety dance
Oh the safety dance yeah
Oh it's the safety dance
It's the safety dance
Well it's the safety dance
Oh it's the safety dance
Oh it's the safety dance
Oh it's the safety dance
Oh it's the safety dance

I forgot about that line, "Francois." Does anyone know what that was about?

I remember how futuristic this song sounded to me when it came out.Now it sounds like a dated prediction of a future that has already passed.But,it's still a fun song.
Subject: Re: We can dance if we want to!
I didn't think this song was cheesy at all! Anyone know what it's about b/c the video was so bogus!
Subject: Re: We can dance if we want to!
I don't think it's cheesy either - I just love it!
But I'm confused about the lyrics printed here - are you sure?
I never heard a "Francois"?? ?? ? Is that the part I always think the woman is saying "..and sing"? (and we can dance....AND SING!) Doesn't seem at all the same!
As for "As long as we abuse it, never gonna lose it" - I always thought it was "as long as we have music...."??

Funny; I initially thought it was (phonetic: "fron-say") which doesn't really make any sense, but then one of the regulars at my former gig used to yell "AND SING!" so I couldn't tell ya...now I think it's "and sing"

LMAO! I remember dancing like a dork, with a midget and with a blond ditz (who also danced like a dork).

Ah, then the spelling is wrong; "Fron-say" is spelled Francais, "a" not "o" (which is "Fron-swah").
But it still doesn't make any sense, while "and sing" makes perfect sense. But then, rock rarely makes any sense.
