I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor
Arctic Monkeys Lyrics
Stop making the eyes at me
I'll stop making the eyes at you
What it is that surprises me
Is that I don't really want you to
And your shoulders are frozen (cold as the night)
Oh, but you're an explosion (you're dynamite)
Your name isn't Rio, but I don't care for sand
And lighting the fuse might result in a bang, b-b-bang-oh
I don't know if you're looking for romance or
I don't know what you're looking for
I said, I bet that you look good on the dance floor
Dancing to electro-pop like a robot from 1984
Well, from 1984
I wish you'd stop ignoring me
Because you're sending me to despair
Without a sound, yeah, you're calling me
And I don't think it's very fair
That your shoulders are frozen (cold as the night)
Oh, but you're an explosion (you're dynamite)
Your name isn't Rio, but I don't care for sand
And lighting the fuse might result in a bang, b-b-bang-oh
I bet that you look good on the dance floor
I don't know if you're looking for romance or
I don't know what you're looking for
I said, I bet that you look good on the dance floor
Dancing to electro-pop like a robot from 1984
Well, from 1984
Oh, there ain't no love, no Montagues or Capulets
Just banging tunes and DJ sets and
Dirty dance floors and dreams of naughtiness
Well, I bet that you look good on the dance floor
I don't know if you're looking for romance or
I don't know what you're looking for
I said, I bet that you look good on the dance floor
Dancing to electro-pop like a robot from 1984
Said, from 1984

Stop making the eyes at me, I'll stop making the eyes at you
What it is that surprises me is that I don't really want you to
And your shoulders are frozen (Cold as the night)
Oh, but you're an explosion (You're dynamite)
Your name isn't Rio, but I don't care for sand
And lighting the fuse might result in a bang, b-b-bang-oh
I bet that you look good on the dancefloor
I don't know if you're looking for romance or
I don't know what you're looking for
I said, I bet that you look good on the dancefloor

The Trilogy1
Here are the voice crack stamps
Eyes 0:38
Surprises 0:41
1984 1:07
Floor 1:47 ( He tried to go up in pitch but he didn’t hit that center pitch and his voice made a little crack)
1984 1:54
Bangin 2:00
Naughtiness 2:06
From 2:25-2:57 the end of the song in the last couple lines his voice seems like it’s out of power and he’s not projecting that well
BTW I am a very big Arctic Monkeys fan I am just putting the time stamps for other people. Alex Turner has gotten way better vocally and as a guitar player since the band first started. This video is kind of funny to watch and and see how much the whole band has progressed.

If Yorkshire ever becomes independent, this should be their national anthem

Joanne O'Keeffe

Star Wars Siths
@Mister Dolphino he was 20 I think or 21 still not puberty but he probably wasn’t used to singing under the amount of pressure he was under so that’s probably a more likely reason for the voice cracks
