The Dirty Dancing sound is at times all of the above: lo-fi, noisy, angular and anthemic, with touches of darkwave, a post-punk edge, a reverbed atmosphere, and handclaps galore. Depending on the track, you can hear influences as varied as The Kills, Joy Division, Velvet Underground, The Stooges, The Gun Club, Talking Heads, and even a little T. Rex...

Love Is Strange
Dirty Dancing Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Love (Mm-mm), love is strange (Yeah, yeah)
A lot of people (Mm-mm) take it for a game
Once you get it (Mm-mm), you never wanna quit (No, no)
After you've had it (Yeah, yeah), you're in a awful fix
Many people (Mm-mm) don't understand (No, no)
They think lovin' (Yeah, yeah) is money in their hand
When you leave me (Mm-mm) sweet kisses I will miss
Boy: Sylvia?
Girl: Yes, Mickey?
Boy: How do you call your loverboy?
Girl: Come 'ere, loverboy!
Boy: And if he doesn't answer?
Girl: Oh loverboy!
Boy: And if he still doesn't answer!
Girl:
I simply say
Baby, oh baby, my sweet baby, you're the one
Both:
Baby, oh baby, my sweet baby, you're the one
"Love Is Strange" by Mickey & Sylvia is a classic song from the 1950s, famously featured in the movie Dirty Dancing. The lyrics speak about the nature of love and how it can be confusing and complicated. The song begins with the two singers, Mickey and Sylvia, singing about how love is strange and how people often take it for granted. Once you experience love, it becomes addictive and you never want to let it go. The hardest part is when you've lost it and are left with an uncontrollable urge to get it back.
Mickey and Sylvia then sing about the confusion that others have about love. People often see love as just a means to an end, as something that can be used for financial gain. However, the duo makes it clear that nothing can compare to the sweetness of true love. At the end of the first verse, they reveal that once you've experienced true love, it becomes a part of you, and you will miss it dearly when it's gone.
Moving on to the dialogue between Mickey and Sylvia, they exchange playful banter about calling each other "loverboy" and what to do if the other doesn't answer. Sylvia then smoothly transitions into the chorus by saying, "I simply say, baby, oh baby, my sweet baby, you're the one." The chorus is repeated twice, with both singers expressing their love for each other and the reassurance that they are each other's "one."
Overall, "Love Is Strange" is a sweet and playful yet insightful song about the unpredictable nature of love.

And this was improvised. They were just playing around. It was never meant to be in the movie but the director loved it so much he kept it. Good call.
