Cul de Sac
Los Twist Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Y llega de París un nuevo ritmo
que todos bailan ya
moderno, sincopado
y que nunca queda mal
de Francia a la Argentina
del Sena al Paraná: Cul de Sac

Cul de Sac,
Cul de Sac
Cul de Sac
Cul de Sac

Lo bailan casi todos los bohemios
y los músicos de jazz
Canosos con polera
y de aspecto intelectual
Europa está que arde
Con esta novedad: Cul de Sac

Cul de Sac,
Cul de Sac
Cul de Sac
Cul de Sac

Se tienen que chasquear así los dedos
Marcando el compás
dos pasos adelante
y un salto para atrás
y ahora todo el cuerpo
se mueve sin parar: Cul de Sac

Cul de Sac,
Cul de Sac

Overall Meaning

The song "Cul de Sac" by Los Twist is a catchy and upbeat tune that describes a new dance craze sweeping across France and Argentina. The lyrics mention a "new rhythm" arriving from Paris that is modern and easy to dance to, and it is called "Cul de Sac". The name of the dance itself is French for "dead end", which could perhaps refer to the idea that the dance is a sort of cul-de-sac or dead end for those who are stuck in old-fashioned dances that are no longer popular.


The lyrics go on to describe how the dance is popular among bohemians and jazz musicians, and how it has even caught on in Europe. The dance involves snapping your fingers to the beat, taking two steps forward and one jump back, and then moving your whole body to the rhythm. The song sounds like a celebration of the joy and exhilaration that comes from dancing, especially when there is a new and exciting dance trend to try out.


Overall, "Cul de Sac" is a catchy and fun song that celebrates the joy of dancing and the excitement of trying out new dance crazes. The lyrics hint at a rebellious and anti-establishment spirit, as the song describes a new dance craze that is not part of the traditional canon of dances. The song's playful tone and catchy beat make it a great tune to get up and dance to, whether you're a fan of jazz or just enjoy a good beat.
