Dance Line An Idiot
Lemon Demon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
a scientist had found himself upon the dance floor
he started twitching and shaking like a pile of jumping beans
at first it looked stupid but the end justified the means
to dance like a nitwit, to dance like a fool
but now that's just a guideline, not a rule
I've been making my way through the danceclub scene
been trying it out, it's my brand new routine
and it's catching on big, it's so hot it's obscene
so get off the wall, stand proud and tall
get out there and dance like an idiot
you know it's all good, so rock the neighborhood
get out there and dance like an idiot
you might wanna eat a lotta sugar first
have some caffeinated soda to quench your thirst
then step into the crowd and give it your worst
no matter what you do, you can't go wrong
you can dance like an idiot all night long
as long as you've got no rhythm, you're going strong
so get off the wall, stand proud and tall
get out there and dance like an idiot
you know it's all good, so rock the neighborhood
get out there and dance like an idiot
(are you ready? ...yes I am! (here we go))
put your hands on your knees and hobble to the right
then do a 360 with your eyes shut tight
while you're dizzy get busy and pretend you're a mime
then make whiny noises and clap five times
hold out your arms, start running in place
try to do the Moonwalk, and fall on your face
get up and stomp around like a big fat lummox
then jump out the window with your hands on your buttocks
like an idiot, like an idiot
like an idiot, like an idiot
(dance) like an idiot, like an idiot
(dance) like an idiot, like an idiot
so get off the wall, stand proud and tall
get out there and dance like an idiot
you know it's all good, so rock the neighborhood
get out there and dance like an idiot
get off the wall, stand proud and tall
get out there and dance like an idiot
you know it's all good, so rock the neighborhood
get out there and dance like an idiot
The lyrics of Lemon Demon's song "Dance Like An Idiot" describe a humorous and rebellious approach to dancing. The story is set in December 1984 when a scientist finds himself on the dance floor. Initially, his movements are awkward and ridiculous, resembling a pile of jumping beans. However, as the song progresses, it becomes clear that dancing like an idiot is not only acceptable but also becoming a popular trend.
The lyrics suggest that it is not usually considered cool to dance foolishly or without proper rhythm. However, the singer challenges this notion, stating that this guideline is now obsolete. They explain how they have embraced this unconventional style of dance and have been exploring the dance club scene with their unique routine. Surprisingly, their dance moves are catching on and gaining popularity, even though they may be seen as absurd and obscene.
The song encourages listeners to let go of inhibitions and join in on the fun. The lyrics recommend consuming sugary treats and caffeinated drinks before hitting the dance floor to enhance the uninhibited experience. No matter what you do while dancing like an idiot, the song assures that you can't go wrong as long as you embrace a lack of rhythm.
The lyrics go on to describe specific dance moves, ranging from hobbling to doing a 360-degree turn with eyes closed, imitating a mime, making whiny noises, clapping, running in place, attempting the Moonwalk (and falling), stomping like a lummox, and even jokingly suggesting jumping out of a window with hands on buttocks. These absurd instructions add to the overall playful and comedic nature of the song.
Ultimately, the message of "Dance Like An Idiot" is about letting loose, having fun, and defying societal norms by embracing your individuality and dancing without fear of judgment. The song encourages listeners to proudly display their unique dance moves and enjoy themselves without worrying about fitting into conventional standards.
