    "She walked across the dance floor that night
    she was dressed to kill
    she was a sexy lady
    she had to get her thrill"

    What about that song from Inner circle ?

    A La La La La Long
    A La La La La Long Long
    Li Long Long Long.
    Come On!
    A La La La La Long
    A La La La La Long Long
    Li Long Long Long.

    Standing across the room I saw you smile.
    Said I want to talk to you for a little while.
    But before I make my move my emotions start
    running wild.
    My tongue gets tied and that's no lie.

    Looking in your eyes
    I'm looking in your big
    brown eyes.
    Ooh yeah
    and I've got this to say to you:
    Girl
    I want to make you sweat
    sweat 'til you
    can't sweat no more.
    And if you cry out
    I'm gonna push it some more.
    Girl
    I want to make you sweat
    sweat 'til you
    can't sweat no more.
    And if you cry out
    I'm gonna push it
    push it

    push it some more.
    A La La La La Long
    A La La La La Long Long
    Li Long Long Long.
    Come on!
    A La La La La Long
    A La La La La Long Long
    Li Long Long Long.

    So I say to myself if she loves me or not

    but the drag I know that love is his to get:
    With a little bit of this and a little bit of that

    the loser goes on the attack.
    But don't get tied and that's no lie:

    Looking in your eyes...

    Eyes
    I'm looking in your big brown eyes...

    A La La La La Long...
    Push it
    push it some more!
    A La La La La Long...
    All right!
    A La La La La Long...
    push it
    push it some more!


    So to summarise . . Falling in love with a stranger in a bar . .You want to make them sweat and will push harder if they cry . .

    Bit too rapey for me . .

    The lyrics to Badge by Cream have always fúcking annoyed me :mad:
    Especially worse considering it was written by George Harrison and Eric Clapton. You'd think the two of them would be able to come up with something better than this shíte!

    Thinkin' 'bout the times you drove in my car.
    Thinkin' that I might have drove you too far.
    And I'm thinkin' 'bout the love that you laid on my table.

    I told you not to wander 'round in the dark.
    I told you 'bout the swans, that they live in the park.
    Then I told you 'bout our kid, now he's married to mabel.

    Yes, I told you that the light goes up and down.
    Don't you notice how the wheel goes 'round?
    And you better pick yourself up from the ground
    Before they bring the curtain down,
    Yes, before they bring the curtain down.

    Talkin' 'bout a girl that looks quite like you.
    She didn't have the time to wait in the queue.
    She cried away her life since she fell off the cradle.

    The Chili's have some great songs but usually with utterly crap lyrics..

    On Mercury

    I've got myself
    In a masochistic hold
    Why don't you let go
    Shake it off
    Just to redirect my flow
    Come on let's go

    Sit up straight
    I'm on a double date
    I've got to find my way
    Into the light, heavy, middle weight
    We don't stop rock around the clock
    Motor mouthing off
    In front of every other road block

    Come again and tell me
    What you're going thru
    Like a girl who only knew
    Her child was due

    Memories of everything
    Of lemon trees on mercury
    Come to me with remedies
    From five or six of seven seas
    You always took me with a smile
    When I was down
    Memories of everything
    That blew thru

    Looking up into
    A reverse vertigo
    What an undertow
    Give it up
    Another stubborn scorpio
    Come on, let's go

    Sit up straight
    I'm on a double date
    I've got to find my way
    Into the light, heavy, middle weight
    We don't stop rock around the clock
    Motor mouthing off
    In front of every other road block

    Come again and tell me
    What you're going thru
    Like a girl who only knew
    Her child was due
    To the moon she gave
    Another good review
    Turn around and look at me
    It's really really you

    That's 90s dance classic by the Outthere Brothers, Boom Boom Boom:

    "
    Ow, I came to make you shake it
    Till you break it
    Caress your body until you're naked
    Bend you over
    Grab your shoulder
    Slip my peter inside your folder
    Make you sweat-a
    Get you wet-a
    Pump it faster to make it better
    Dim the the lights then lock the room
    Cause now it's time for me to hit that boom

    Girl your booty is so round
    I just wanna lay you down
    Let me take you from behind
    I won't come until it's time
    But if I cannot sleep with you
    Maybe I could have a taste
    Put your niney on my tongue
    And your booty on my face"

    Mama get the hammer
    Little fly upon the wall
    Had no place to crawl at all.
    All at once, his wings were spread
    Right on dear old papa's head.

    CHORUS: Mama, get the hammer. There's a fly on papa's head.
    You heard what I said: there's a fly on papa's head.
    If you can't get a hammer, get a crowbar, ma, instead.
    There's a fly on papa's head.

    Well, the fly flew through an open flue,
    And flew till he was black and blue.
    Instead of flying right straight home,
    He flew on top of papa's dome. CHORUS

    Horsefly, please don't bother me.
    Go fly up an apple tree.
    Horsefly says, "Now look here, Joe.
    I'll go where I want to go." CHORUS

    One of my favourite bands but this lyric is a stinker:
    Unlike the mole
    I'm not in a hole
    And I can't see anyway
    Just like a doll
    I am one foot tall
    But dolls can't see anyway

    Fundamentally the lyrics to Rhythm is a Dancer are sound. Rhythm is a dancer - that's a undeniable fact.

    So once you accept that premise you can express it as seriously as you like. For example you could be as serious as a car accident or as serious as a forest fire. And in fairness, you could be a serious as cancer when you say it.

    I don't see how you can say these are the worst lyrics ever when the argument they convey is watertight.

    Plus the choon is outstanding!

    Jeez! 20 years ago, ah man now I feel old!
    Rythm is a dancer was my GF (at the time) favourite tune. I bought the single for her and we had a wonderful ride in her bedroom that afternoon as it played on repeat. (and no she wasn't easily pleased!)

    Every time I hear it it takes me back and makes me smile. :D

    Isn't he trying to describe what being on some drug is like, feeling at the same time that you're moving quickly and slowly?

    So it's not 'I'm blue, I OD'd and I died'?

    Or maybe that version is out there too.

    Not really relevant seeing as "Scat" is a vocal style, the lyrics were never going to be anything different.

    Those "Life" lyrics and anything by the Cack Eyed Gees are atrocious, but then I'd expect nothing else from most pop music written after the 80's. Not that the 80's didn't have its fair share of abominations either.

    These lyrics you speak of are a direct rip-off from Eric B and Rakim's 1987 hit "I ain't no joke"....observe:

    "I got a question, serious as cancer
    who can keep the average dancer
    hyper as a heart attack, nobody's smiling
    cos you're expressing the rhyme that I'm styling"
