All Night Thing
Invisible Man's Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Waiting on the dance,
To get started
Hollywood stands, it's jammed down
Hoo cha!
It's a party now
I wanna dance,
I wanna dance,
Everybody wanna dance,
Move those bodies around
While the music spins,
Get down, get down, get down
Get
It's gonna be an all night thing
It's gonna be an all night thing
Baby, it's an all night thing
It's gonna be an all night thing
Break out!
Freaks on the floor
Freaks on the floor
All the freaks on the floor,
On a Saturday night
Disco is explode
Strange freaky vibes
Flashing lights of red,
Blue, yellow and green
It's a funky scene
Ready for the hit
Get on your knees
Yeah, yes it is Uh huh
Baby
Beat feet, stamp, jam,
Move it on in
It's a sheet freak
Come on in
'Cause, I can't go,
On such a hot date
Suga booga,
Would ya, could ya
Move a little close,
For you to hear
Don't ya know?
You got me shifting in fifth gear
You look so fine
I want your number,
In my book
Gonna take you home with me,
And get it on,
All night long
[Chorus]
The Invisible Man's Band's song, All Night Thing, is all about the desire to dance and let lose all night long. The lyrics are simple and straight to the point; it's a party, and everyone wants to dance, move and groove. The first verses highlight the crowd's anticipation, with the waiting on the dance to get started, and once it does with the music spinning, everyone gets down on the floor. The chorus reiterates the lyrics' primary theme, that the party's going to be an all-night thing, and everybody's going to dance and enjoy themselves.
The second verses of the song take it to another level, with the disco exploding into a funky scene as "freaks" get down on the dancefloor. The use of adjective "freaky" adds to the sense of debauchery and the underworld aspect of night clubs. The flashing lights and strange vibes create a mesmerizing atmosphere, and the song encourages you to join in the party. The lyrics' last verses convey the singer's desire for a date and to take someone home and "get it on all night long," which reinforces the song's party theme.

Waitin' on the band to get started
Hardly room to stand, it's jammed
Damn, ooh child
It's a crowd now
People wanna dance
(People wanna dance, everybody wanna dance)
Move their bodies 'round
While the music spins
Get down, get down, get down
Yeah
Break out!
Freak on the floor
(Freaks on the floor, all the freaks on the floor)
All look starry-eyed
(Freaks on the floor)
Disco whistles blow, strange freaky vibes
Flashing lights of red, blue, yellow and green
Paints a funky scene
Plenty for the head could only mean
It's gonna be an all night thing
