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

[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
Dancing to electro-pop like a robot from 1984
Well, from 1984

And no, there in't no love
No Montagues or Capulets
Just banging tunes and DJ sets and

Imeasuarable supremacy
Love how he speaks perfectly while singing but cant say a single word when he is just talking.
Dan Hunter
I don't get that comment at all, he says two great, smart sentences, he's a 17 year old kid, wtf are you expecting?

@Mart it's not the same to be writing by himself at home that actually saying his thoughts out loud in front of a camera. <3 Especially for someone as introverted as him.
Mart
It's like a stutter. Some people can sing clearly but can't talk fluently
fer ♡
He's cute, introverted
Mikael Söderström
You don't speak while your're singing.
Stu Don
The “don’t believe the hype” call is nearly as legendary as the song itself.
Very humble.

Ironically, Arctic Monkey's MySpace phenomenon was the last relevant hype of pop music together with Justin Bieber's YouTube hype later on.
Yeah, I don't consider SoundCloud rappers a worldwide pop phenomenon and K-Pop had a lot of help from the music industry.
