I was like that with Billy Idol's 'Dancing With Myself'.
I always thought that was about a bloke, er, dancing with himself......:o

Really? Never knew that. Quite fond of that song.

Well, at least now I have another bit of pub trivia. If there's a whole round on wanking songs, I'm covered (so to speak)

While we're on this subject, I argue with Mrs Skinny over this - I firmly believe that the phrase "Dance" or "Dancing" has been used for eons as a euphemism for sex/masturbation, etc.

Billy Idol - Dancing With Myself
Whitney Houston - I Wanna Dance With Somebody

and tons of other I can't think of right now. The key test is this - find a song that mentions dancing reasonably frequently, replace it with the word "shag" or some such, and if it still makes sense, then there you go. I need some back-up on this. Mrs Skinny still doesn't agree and thinks I have a dirty mind.

Shag, shag, shag, shag, shag to the radio:rofl:

Death of a Disco Dancer. Doesn't work. Your theory has been disproved.

Although that "Everybody Dance Now" song could add validity to the argument again..
was going to post a youtube link to it, but realised i can't now they're blocking music videos in the uk

Elvis Costello - "Mystery Dance"

Romeo was restless, he was ready to kill
He jumped out the window 'cause he couldn't sit still
Juliet was waiting with a safety net
He said, "Don't bury me 'cause I'm not dead yet"

(CHORUS) Why don't you tell me about the mystery dance
I wanna know about the mystery dance
Why don't you show me
'Cause I've tried and I've tried, and I'm still mystified
I can't do it anymore and I'm not satisfied

Well, I remember when the lights went out
And I was tryin' to make it look like it was never in doubt
She thought that I knew, and I thought that she knew
So both of us were willing, but we didn't know how to do it

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Well, I was down under the covers in the middle of the night
Tryin' to discover my left foot from my right
You can see those pictures in any magazine
But what's the use of looking when you don't know what they mean?

(REPEAT CHORUS)
I can't do it anymore and I'm not satisfied
I can't do it anymore and I'm not satisfied
I can't do it anymore and I'm not satisfied
I can't do it anymore and I'm not satisfied
I can't do it anymore and I'm not satisfied
I can't do it anymore and I'm not satisfied


You're not really denying that you have a dirty mind, are you?
 
How about this song - which one would you dance with?;)

Well, "John I'm Only Dancing" is never going to sound the same again, regardless of who's singing it and "Safety Dance" by Men Without Hats (another euphemism?) is suddenly a lot more interesting.
 
You see? The more evidence piles in, the more the theory holds. Apart from Transmission, of course.

Patti Smith - "Dancing Barefoot"

she is benediction
she is addicted to thee
she is the root connection
she is connecting with he

here I go and I don't know why
I fell so ceaselessly
could it be he's taking over me...

I'm dancing barefoot
heading for a spin
some strange music draws me in
makes me come on like some heroin/e

she is sublimation
she is the essence of thee
she is concentrating on
he, who is chosen by she

here I go and I don't know why
I spin so ceaselessly,
could it be he's taking over me...

[chorus]

she is re-creation
she, intoxicated by thee
she has the slow sensation that
he is levitating with she ...

here I go and I don't know why,
I spin so ceaselessly,
'til I lose my sense of gravity...

[chorus]

(oh god I fell for you ...)

the plot of our life sweats in the dark like a face
the mystery of childbirth, of childhood itself
grave visitations
what is it that calls to us?
why must we pray screaming?
why must not death be redefined?
we shut our eyes we stretch out our arms
and whirl on a pane of glass
an afixiation a fix on anything the line of life the limb of a tree
the hands of he and the promise that s/he is blessed among women.

(oh god I fell for you ...)


Hmmmm...yeah, ok.
 
"Longview" by Green Day and, of course, one of the more obvious ones, "I Touch Myself" by Divinyls.

Be right back. I have to...erm...go do some laundry...hand wash of course.

Another one?! Egads. I'm officially afraid to play any Green Day for fear that my hand will take advantage of me. Although actually, that might not be a bad idea.

My god. Did I just type that out loud?
