However, interest in the group faded quickly, and the band's follow-up album, 'Humanication', was shelved and never released during the band's prime, although its first single-- "How Much Longer"-- did get released as a 12" single. "The Politics of Dancing" has been used in many places such as the 1985 movie 'Red' and the 1998 movie 'Edge Of Seventeen'. Paul Fishman went on playing with other artists, and 'Humanication' finally received a belated official release in 2010.

The Politics of Dancing
Re-Flex Lyrics
We got the message
I heard it on the airwaves
The politicians
Are now djs
The broadcast was spreading
Station to station
Like an infection
Across the nation
Though you know you can't stop it when they start to play
You're gonna get out the way
The politics of dancing
The politics of, ooh, feeling good
The politics of moving, aha
If this message's understood
The politics of dancing
The politics of, ooh, feeling good
The politics of moving, aha
If this message's understood
We're under pressure
Yes we're counting on you
Like what you say
Is what you do
It's in the papers
It's on your tv news
Oh, the application
Is just a point of view
Well you know you can't stop it when they start to play
You're gonna get out the way
The politics of dancing
The politics of, ooh, feeling good
The politics of moving, aha
If this message's understood, yeah
The politics of dancing
The politics of, ooh, feeling good
The politics of moving, aha
If this message's understood
The politics of dancing
The politics of, ooh, feeling good
The politics of moving, aha
If this message's understood
The politics of dancing
The politics of, ooh, feeling good
The politics of moving, aha
If this message's understood
The politics of dancing

This is one of those songs that should have been a much bigger hit than it was. An absolute 80s gem

@Doyle Perkins Swallow, a word always on the tip of your tongue no doubt.
Doyle Perkins
@Phil G You seem to be an expert in gayology. Who gives a f-k!

If it had been any bigger at the time, it would have swallowed the sky. You simply don't know what you're talking about. You either weren't alive in the '80s, and if you were, you were in a coma.

Couldnt agree morr

probably a bit too gay for top 40 because it could be heard as a gay club dominance submission large vs small penis top or bottom negotiation thing
Lloyd Olsen
Graduated High School in 1983. Saw it All. It was the best time ever. Unfortunately it can not be repeated because the whole world has changed into something not nearly as good. Just the way of things. The POSITIVE energy got spent.

me too same year, great times

I love the 80s ---- things had not quite went digital yet, and bands had to be authentic and good.
