Beats and Styles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One, two, three!
You gotta know how to pony like Bony Maronie
Mashed Potato, do the Alligator
Put your hands on your hips, let your back-bone slip
Do the Watusi, like my little Lucy
Na, na na na na, na na na na, na na na, na na na, na na na na.
Need somebody to help me say it one time
You know I feel alright.
Feel pretty good y'all.
Na, na na na na, na na na na, na na na, na na na, na na na na.
Need somebody to help me say it one time
Na, na na na na, na na na na, na na na, na na na, na na na na.
Dance with me honey, like Long Tall Sally
Twistin' with Lucy, doin the Watusi
Gotta hold of your back, I like it like that
Do the Jerk, watch me work
Ah, do it!
The lyrics to Beats and Styles Feat. Mc Scholar and Milla's song "Dance Dance Dance" are a call to get up and dance. The opening lines set the tone, counting off "one, two, three" before launching into a list of vintage dance moves. The first two mentioned are the Pony and the Mashed Potato, both popular dances from the 1960s. The Alligator, Watusi, and Jerk are also named, along with a shout-out to Little Lucy, perhaps a reference to the famous Peanuts comic strip character.
The repetition of "na na na" and "hey hey hey" suggests a party atmosphere or a concert crowd chanting along with the singer. The lines "Need somebody to help me say it one time" and "Dance with me honey" invite the listener to participate and join in the fun. The song is upbeat and energetic, with a strong rhythm and catchy melody that encourage movement and dancing.
Overall, "Dance Dance Dance" is a celebration of music and dance as a universal language that brings people together. It's an invitation to let go of inhibitions and enjoy the moment, to move to the beat and feel good. The lyrics showcase a variety of classic dance moves that have stood the test of time and continue to inspire joy and excitement on the dancefloor.
