I Can't Dance
Dirt Nasty Lyrics

Hey party people
An exclamation to get the attention of the people in the party

Hey my party people
An address to people who are in the same party with Dirt Nasty

Hey, hands up if you rockin' with me
A call to raise hands for those who like Dirt Nasty's music at the party

LMFAO and Dirt Nasty
The names of the artists that are performing at the party

Now I got everything that a dude could want
A statement that Dirt Nasty has achieved success and has everything he needs as a man

House in the hills made by Louis Vuitton
An allusion to Dirt Nasty's luxurious lifestyle, owning a house in the hills that was made by Louis Vuitton

But when I dance in the spot
A description of Dirt Nasty's experience when dancing at the party

All the ladies cut
A reaction from women at the party, who move away from him when he starts dancing

‘Cause it looks like I had a seizure up in the club
A comparison of Dirt Nasty’s dancing with someone having a seizure, making fun of his lack of dancing skills

I can't dance
The main message of the song, that Dirt Nasty can't dance

Not at all
An amplification of Dirt Nasty's inability to dance

In L.A.
A location reference of where he's from and where he probably goes to parties

We play the wall
A description of what people like him do when they can't dance at a party

I wanna dance
An expression of Dirt Nasty’s desire to dance

I can't do it
A realization that he really cannot dance

I'm too Jewish
A self-deprecating joke that he can't dance because he's Jewish

Me and sky blue at the spot there was nothing but freaks
A mention of another artist, Sky Blue, likely to be present at the party and that there were many attractive women in the crowd

This dude was dancing like way off beat
An observation of someone in the party who was dancing terribly

Dude had moves I aint seen before
An acknowledgement that the guy had unique moves

He grabbed the back of his neck
A strange move that the guy performed

Slammed down to the floor
A dramatic move that the guy performed

Is he hurtin' or is he jerkin'
A play on words, describing what the guy is doing

I don't know but it seems to be workin'
An acknowledgement that the guy was getting attention from women despite his lack of rhythm

He's got all the ladies screaming his name
An exaggeration that the guy was getting a lot of attention from the women

Dirt Nasty, are you okay?
A call to Dirt Nasty, from the women screaming for the other guy

You dumb biitch
A response to the women who called out for Dirt Nasty

But he's cute
An acknowledgement that Dirt Nasty has positive physical attributes

Why don't you suck his dick already?
An explicit and vulgar suggestion, likely meant to be humorous

He left the club on another journey
A description of Dirt Nasty leaving the club, probably in a different manner than the other guy

Listenin' to his iPod layin' on a gurney
A humorous image of Dirt Nasty leaving the club, listening to music on a hospital gurney

When I walk into the club I can't feel the beat
An acknowledgement that Dirt Nasty has trouble sensing the rhythm of the music

Don't ask me to dance I got two left feet
A common expression to describe someone who cannot dance

Tryin' to mack but I got no game
Dirt Nasty's struggle to flirt or make a move on someone at the party

‘Cause it looks like my whole damn body's in pain
An explanation for why he can't make a move or dance, because his body looks uncomfortable and awkward

I got the looks
A reminder that Dirt Nasty is physically attractive

I got the money
A reminder that Dirt Nasty is financially successful

When I dance the ladies think I'm funny, funny, funny
A recognition that the only reaction women have towards his dancing is laughter

Yeah hava, I need some vodka, pina coladas,
A request for alcoholic drinks that will help him get over his anxiety about dancing

‘Cause I can't dance to save my life
A repetition of the main idea that Dirt Nasty cannot dance

Yeah Dirt Nasty, LMFAO
A shout-out to the other musicians in the song

I'm tryin' to dance hommies
A sincere desire to learn how to dance from his fellow musicians

I'm tryin' to learn from y'all
A request for guidance and help from his fellow musicians

I just think I'm a little too white for this but
An excuse for why he thinks he can't dance

I'ma keep tryin'
A commitment to keep practicing and trying to learn how to dance

I'ma keep studyin'
Another commitment to continue studying and trying to learn how to dance

I'ma take ballet class
A humorous suggestion that he will take a dance class meant for girls

I'ma take jazz, tap, hip hop class
A list of different dance classes he will try in order to improve his dancing skills

And I'ma come on stage and do the jerk with you baby
A promise to go onstage and attempt a dance move with the other musicians
