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...

Dirty Dancing Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I just can't hear a sound
'Cept my own wheels turnin
Wastin a day
I'm just runnin away
From a heart that's burnin
But I can't run forever
We're gonna fall in love
And it feels so right
Yes
We're gonna make love
It's gonna be tonight
I can just imagine
Huggin and teasin and
Lovin and squeezin all night
I've made up my mind
He's gonna be mine
I'm so glad I waited
Why did I try
To figure out why
Everything can't be anticipated
I can't wait to tell him
Yes
We're gonna fall in love
And it feels so right
Yes
We're gonna make love
It's gonna be tonight
I can just imagine
Huggin and teasin and
Lovin and squeezin all night

She is proclaiming that she is ready to fall in love and make love, and this moment will be tonight. The intense longing and anticipation are apparent as she can only imagine all the hugging, teasing, loving, and squeezing that will occur throughout the night.

Drivin around
I am aimlessly driving without a destination
I just can't hear a sound
I am so lost in my own thoughts that I cannot hear anything external
'Cept my own wheels turnin
The only sound I hear is the noise of my car's wheels as I drive
Wastin a day
I am spending my time carelessly and without purpose
I'm just runnin away
I am trying to escape from my problems
From a heart that's burnin
My heart is aching with pain and longing
But I can't run forever
I know I cannot escape my problems forever

To figure out why
I was trying to understand the reasoning behind my feelings
Everything can't be anticipated
I am acknowledging that some things in life cannot be predicted
I can't wait to tell him
I am eager to confess my love to him

I was born in 2000, but Dirty Dancing has to be my favourite movie. And the songs out of it are way better than anything from the charts.

The movie was released 4 years before I was born...but the first time I saw it I fell in love with the movie... I don't know how many times I watched it...I have stopped counting... There are just some movies which you can watch all the time and they won't get boring... And Dirty Dancing is one of them
I am really glad they did this movie. I will surely watching it with my grandchildren someday
