Hi all. Back from a nice blog-holiday break with...
Top ten records every wedding DJ needs: no 4
Scissor Sisters: I don't feel like dancing.
Ironically of course, play this record at a wedding, and people do.
It annoys me that the Scissor Sisters made this record. It’s just the right tempo for the “walking to the dancefloor dance”. Since I don’t tend to play more than one song by the same artist (unless it’s a very long DJ set), it means that I rarely get to play what I think is their absolute best single, the abounding-in-funk, groovetastic and often forgotten-about “take your mama out”.
Still, lyrics in the chorus for this record deserve a special mention, just because they’re especially indecipherable (how many teenagers know what "that old joanna" is?).
“I don’t feel like dancing when that old Joanna plays, my heart could take a chance but my two feet can’t find the way, you’d think that I could muster up a little soft-shoe gentle sway, but I don’t feel like dancing, no sir, no dancing today”
PS Don't you love that fun Youtube video?
