A 'flawed' question, maybe, but let's see wot happens..

New Answers!/New Answers!/One More Chance-ers/To get down and Dance- ers!/Yeah!

― Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Sunday, 23 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Din daa daa, din daa daaa, din daa daa, din daa. George Kranz - Din daa daa. Because the lyrics function as part of the rythm as well as carrying the melody (what little there is).

― Billy Dods, Sunday, 23 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

'Come Down to the Stationhouse - Your Son is Dead'

― Michael Dieter, Sunday, 23 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

'Come Down to the Stationhouse - Your Son is Dead'

Doesn't really count, because that was a sample lifted from the mighty 1971 one hit wonder "Once You Understand" by Think.

I still think the best dance lyrics ever are "Darling, come here, and fuck me up the..."

― Brian MacDonald, Monday, 24 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Lords of Acid? Big hit around here. Maybe not exactly dance music as intended, though, but it's a flawed question...

"Aint nothin going on but history" is quite famous and comes to mind immediately.

― Simon, Monday, 24 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"I'll rip her eyes out, throw 'em in the punchbowl" - ?

― dave q, Monday, 24 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ass n' Titties/Soap And Water by DJ Assualt

― mike taylor, Monday, 24 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

what's she gonna do with a chimney on her?

― bounder, Monday, 24 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

pfft. it's obvious that it's the whole of "dominator." in other words, suckers, there is no other. as any fule knows. ;)

― jess, Monday, 24 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Word, Jess. Also pretty ace: Phuture's 'Your Only Friend' and Steve Pointdexter's 'Work that Mothafucka', hard minimal house track with the title sung over and over and over.

― Omar, Monday, 24 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"Push, push, in the bush. Push, push, in the bush."

― Sean, Monday, 24 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

A couple of other classics:

"I control your mind when I get a little deeper/Make your heart pump like the sound of a beeper."
"Insomniac/I come back!"
"Top one, nice one, get sorted!"
"Dildo dildo dildo dildo/Put it in, put it in, put it in, put it in!"
"Do you fear for your child?"
"It's in my brain now..."
"Fellas/I'm ready/I think I'm gonna/overdose!"

― Dan Perry, Monday, 24 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"Push push in the bush down on yer knees with the birds and the bees?!?" That's Neneh Cherry you're quoting, right? So that's dance music?!?

― nathalie, Monday, 24 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Extremely flawed. For example, "Fuh fuh fuh FINGER - fuh fuh FINGer FUCK!" ("Finger F.O.C." by F.O.C.) Flawed. Brilliant.

Green Velvet actually has lyrics that don't fall apart upon obsessive headphone inspection. So I say "Answering Machine".

― Tracer Hand, Monday, 24 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Nathalie, it's not Neneh Cherry, it's some disco song I remember from my boyhood (we're talking over 20 years ago).

― Sean, Monday, 24 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"Push Push in the Bush" is by Musique.

― Arthur, Monday, 24 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Arthur, you're a genius.

― Sean, Monday, 24 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

No, I'm just an old disco fool. But thank you, Sean. And I'd like to nominate "Alligator Woman" by Cameo. "Your big behind! It makes me blind!"

― Arthur, Monday, 24 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, there's no limit. (I might have misjudged the amounto no's)

― jel, Monday, 24 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"face down, ass up, that's the way we like to like to..."

― Sterling CLover, Monday, 24 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

My vote goes to Morel - "True (The Faggot Is You)"

Runner up - Miss Kitten - "Frank Sinatra"

― Patrick, Monday, 24 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Miss Kittin!!!!!

I bet you're the boy who looks at women's bodies walking down the street.
Do you like girls?
You have to know about fashion too
And that's the way it is

What do you think about this track?
Do you think we should dig in it,
or do you prefer me to find another topic?
Cars, drugs, parties, girls, or whatever

Let me tell you about my shoes collection
Even if you just don't care

You are the music master.

― Tracer Hand, Monday, 24 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Also, what about the Chicks On Speed cover of Warm Leatherette?

― Michael Taylor, Monday, 24 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Or Chicks on Speed 'Kaltes Klares Wasser'. But yeah Green Velvet owns this topic. 'Flash', 'Anwsering Machine' and 'Abduction' lest we forget the amazing 'Water Molecule' wherin our Green hero contemplates his possible reincarnation as a water molecule and what the pros and cons are of such a life.

― Omar, Tuesday, 25 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

anyone got the lyrics to '9 is a classic'?

― gareth, Tuesday, 25 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Naaaahh, you're all missing the obvious:

"I'm surprised to see your suitcase at the door Remember the good times don't you want some more? It's not a perfect love but I'll defend it Cause I believe that's what God intended"

Not funny. Not clever. Just good.

― jacob, Tuesday, 25 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"Fuck me fuck me fuck me fuck me fuck me fuck me yeah-ee-yeah..."

From "Psycho Drama" by http://www.earache.com/images/BandLogos/Ultraviolence/Ultravlogo. gif.

― Kodanshi, Tuesday, 25 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Some others:

"I wanna fuck you in the ass." (immortalized for me by a Dutch TV commercial)
the lyrics to "One Night In NYC" by The Horrorist("'What did you give me?' she asked. 'Ecstacy,' he answered. And then... he FUCKED HER ALL NIGHT.")
"XIAN ZOMBIE VAMPIRES!"
"Hang your head in shame!"
"Muscle and hate! Force is machine! Join in the chant!"
"Finally/You came along/The way I feel about you/It just can't be wrong/If you only knew/The way I feel about you/I just can't describe it" (one of the most euphoric pre- choruses EVER)
"I'm gonna rip her head off/I'm gonna shit down her neck/And the I'll laugh like a motherfucker/'Cuz I hate her" (perhaps not traditional dance music)

― Dan Perry, Tuesday, 25 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I have seen said Dutch commercial Dan. 'Tis indeed grate. Also: "Berzerker!"

― Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Tuesday, 25 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

three months pass...

Is the dutch commerical song "i wanna fuck you in the ass" a real song? It's hilarious that it gets stuck in my head so easily despite it's raunch. I just want to know if it's real and who did it? HAHA.

- shade

― the shade girl, Sunday, 13 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

"Fuck you in the ass" is Outhere Brothers, no?

― dave q, Sunday, 13 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah Green Velvet La La Land also has great lyrics. Another album I must buy.

― Ronan, Sunday, 13 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

"every night with my star friends we eat caviar and drink champagne sniffing in the v.i.p. area we talk about frank sinatra you know frank sinatra? he's dead... dead! ha ha ha!"

"to be famous is so nice suck my dick kiss my ass in limousines we have sex every night with my famous friends ..."

"motherfuckers are so nice suck my dick lick my ass ..."

- Miss Kittin & The Hacker: Frank Sinatra

― Sky Lotus, Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Dave Q is correct about the Outhere Brothers doing that song. I can't believe I missed Arthur's mention of Cameo, though!

― Dan Perry, Tuesday, 22 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

OMG, I actually have a CD5 of that OutHere Bros. single with 5 (count 'em-5!) remixes of that song, any of which would make a sailor blush!

― felicity, Tuesday, 22 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

― XStatic Peace, Tuesday, 22 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

"Dance Muthafucka Dance Muthafucka Dance Muthafucka Dance Muthafucka DANCE!"

I don't know who wrote these lyrics but they are most eloquent and deep lyrics ever written.

― Lord Custos, Tuesday, 22 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

lager, lager, lager, lager

― dbini, Tuesday, 22 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

"totally addicted to bass"

― helenfordsdale, Tuesday, 22 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

"Brick House" by the Commodores. What a sad road lionel richie went down after that...

― g, Tuesday, 22 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Do slo-jams and Doo-Wop count as dance music?

― JM, Tuesday, 22 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

one month passes...

MISS KITTEN! (Singing Frank Sinatra of course)

"my red hot car" by squarepusher

― electric sound of jim, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Geh in die Knie!
Beweg deine Hüften!
Klatsch in die Hände!
Und tanz der Mussolini!

Ride on time, baby,
Ride on time
Ride on time, baby,
Ride on time

Technotechnotechnotechno! :-)

NEW ENTRY.

Lazy by X-Press 2. for the love of god someone else hear it and say "yes its good" or "no shut up Ronan". I'm going insane here. Although Billy has heard it. Thank god. Was David Byrne a good lyricist in Talking Heads?

― Ronan, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Ronan, read what Tanya Headon thought

actually Talking Heads are pretty good, but her description is still accurate...

― michael, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

That's totally true of the lyrics to "Lazy". Bang on the money. It's what makes it great though. And what will make it Super-successful come its' release into the big bad world.

― Ronan, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Talk to me... Talk to me...

Do you think you're better off alone?

--Alice Deejay.

― Sterling Clover, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

LFO aren't the immediate front-runners for this thread, until you hear the host of absolutely-confident sounding robots they get to proclaim their manifestos.

1) "House. What is house? Technotronic, KLF, or something you live in?" etc.

2) "There are many imitators, but we are the true creators. We're back." (spoken by constipated robotic sheep! Yay etc.)

― Tim, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

"In the beginning there was Jack,
and Jack had a groove,
and from this groove came the groove of all grooves,
and while one day viciously throwin' down on his box
Jack boldly declared:
'Let there be House!'
and house music was born"...
-Chuck Roberts

honorable mentions:
all that Black Box Loleatta Holloway re-assemblage nonsense, even the added raps were absurd "rub-a-dub-dub I just popped to the jiggle!"

also, all the strange ways that Todd Edwards works Jesus/Christian themes into his otherwise abstract vocal science (search the Phoenix remix)

and last but not least, Armand Van Helden has given us both "Koochy" (surely the best robot vocal...ever) and his remix of CJ Bolland's - "Sugar is Sweeter" - Suuuuuuugaaaaaaarrrdaddddddddeeeeeee!
