Turn Me On
D.Sens Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Turn me round, turn me round

Last night I heard a ruckus down the road
No time to lose and so away I go
I saw the lights at the junction on the road
Pulled in my wheels and checked the show
(Turn me round)
They're dancin' round, round, round
(Turn me round)
Square dancin' round, round, round and down and round
(Turn me round)

They're dancin' round, round, round
(Turn me, turn me, turn me)
They're dancin' round
(Turn me, turn me, turn me)

I couldn't believe it so I circled back and then
Cooled up my engine and I walked right in
Allemande left and rip it on up and circle back and go
It was a square dance like a rockin' rodeo
(Turn me round)

They're dancin' round, round, round
(Turn me round)
Square dancin' round, round, round and down and round
(Turn me round)

They're dancin' round, round, round
(Turn me, turn me, turn me)
They're dancin' round
(Turn me, turn me, turn me)
Wait up, little boy

Take it home, partner tears it on up and do see do
Don't you let go just reel and reel and reel
And rock it all over and back
Now circle left, then circle right on back

Take it from the top
And tear it on up
And never let her go
Just dance a little longer

Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down

I danced and partied till my feet went through the floor
I swung my partner till I couldn't stand no more
Allemande left and circle back circle round and then
We rocked and rolled around and did it again
(Turn me round)

They're dancin' round, round, round
(Turn me round)
Square dancin' round, round, round and down and round
(Turn me round)

They're dancin' round, round, round
(Turn me, turn me, turn me)
They're dancin' round
(Turn me, turn me, turn me)

(Turn me round)
(Turn me round)
(Turn me, turn me, turn me)
(Turn me, turn me, turn me)





Let's dance in a circled square

Overall Meaning

In D.Sens's "Turn Me On," the singer finds himself drawn to a square dance party that he stumbles upon while driving. He is initially surprised by the sight of people dancing in a circle and figures he would only stop to check it out for a moment but was soon pulled into the dancing groove himself. The song is full of calls to action, with the repeated "turn me round" urging people to keep the circle spinning and the "allemande left" and "circle back" instructions encouraging dancers to move with the flow of the music. As the party continues, the singer becomes more and more involved, dancing until his feet hurt, swinging his partner until he can't stand any longer, and circling around again and again with the other dancers.


On the surface, the song is about the joy of dancing and the energy that can come from a great party, but it could also be interpreted as an ode to community and the way that shared experiences bring people together. The square dance is a group activity, with everyone moving together in time with the music, and the singer, who initially stays on the fringes of the party, ends up joining in as he finds himself swept up by the energy of the crowd.


Overall, "Turn Me On" is an upbeat, infectious song that captures the thrill of letting go and dancing like nobody's watching. Its playful lyrics and catchy melody can't help but get your toes tapping and your body moving!
