Press:
The Fader: "Less 'rock band' than all-out 'experience,' a thoroughly modern hybrid that defies easy categorization."
LA Weekly: "A theatrically vibrant blur of thrash-mariachi, psychedlic distortion, histrionic vocals, performance art, punk rock, surrealism, Mexican telenovelas and five-dollar-store fasions."
ARTFORUM: "Globe-trotting emissaries of trash in translation, a refreshing brand of cross-cultural misprision... Talk about a surprise vantage on the touchy elisions of imperialist modernism!"
Fluxblog: "This is technically an ESG cover, but there's got to be a better word for what Los Super Elegantes do with this song. The basic elements that make "Dance" one of the best dance songs ever written remain intact, but the band adds new verses and hooks that actually build on the greatness of the original. It's rather like buying a buying a beautiful old house and renovating it so that everything you add to the structure only enhances the aesthetic charm of the design."
Gorilla Vs. Bear: "The band, whose name loosely translates to 'The Super Elegantes,' is unclassifiable in its greatness. Each song seems to dabble in about 3 different genres and multiple languages, and yet it somehow comes together perfectly.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
entonces yo quiero bailar
moviendome al ritmo
creando un baile total
a bailar!!.. dance...
Chicos!!! chicos y chicas
dance.. dance...dance
Yo estaba en la fiesta
y nadie queria bailar
la gente se rie
y no me importa yo quiero bailar
a bailar!! dance
Siente tu el ritmo de las olas
siente tu el viento junto al mar
ven con tus amigas a la fiesta
que no ves que vamos a bailar..
**uhh........**
La noche se acaba
entonces yo quiero bailar
moviendome al ritmo
creando un baile total
ha bailar.. dance
