about

Dance Dance is Mick McLaughlin's first single from the soon to be released album Dopeyville Stomp. Recorded during the legendary Lumberyard Sessions by The Skyōtēs, Dance Dance references the Rolling Stones, Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry and every teen sock hop that featured the latest dance craze. Performed live, its mishmash of styles left dancers in a chaos of confused, sweating bodies - before a new groove grabbed them again. Push back the furniture, turn it up loud and Dance Dance.

lyrics

DANCE DANCE

Do you remember the Boogaloo?
How about the Watusi?
Hey! tonight I wanna frug with you
’Til you’re good and hot and juicy
Do you remember the Freddy?
How about the Aligator?
Everybody Rock Steady
And do the Mash Potato

Hey! Wanna get happy
Just wanna dance
I don’t wanna worry, no!
Just wanna dance, dance, dance!

Everybody Scoot the Rim
Do the Monkey and the Frog
Do the Fish and do the Swim
How about the Dirty Dog?
Can you do the Continental?
Or the Pony or the Philly?
Can you do the Crocodile?
Now everybody Freeze!

Whoa! Everybody get happy
Don’t wanna worry no more
Wanna get offa your feet
Just wanna dance, dance, dance, dance, dance!

The name of the place is I Like It Like This
Everyone there is doing the Twist
You take Pearl, I’ll take Nance
We’re gonna dance, dance, dance!

Dance! Dance!
Dance! Dance!

Everybody do the Stroll
Hey, hey, gotta go
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Hey, yeah, we gotta go
My, my, my, my
Oh yeah, we gotta go
We’d love to stay
And rock and roll
Bye, bye, bye, bye

about

Mick McLaughlin Cozad, Nebraska

Wandering the mean streets of Cozad, Nebraska hard athwart the 100th Meridian, soaked in the dopey aroma of the alfalfa furnaces glowing along the Lincoln Highway, Mick McLaughlin learned the arcane craft of rock and roll beginning at the tender age of 11, schooled at the feet of legendary Nebraska bluesman Alfalfa Clark. ... more
