Mimi Maura Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh oh oh oh dance crasher
Oh oh oh Tones break it up
please don't make fuzz
Don't use a knife taking another fairless life
You'll be sorry
Let me tell ya you'll be so sorry
Ah ooh There's a dancing time
You won't have the chance
got to be your last dance
Oh dance crasher
Tones break it up please don't make a fuzz
Don't do a thing that could set in tears
Deadly fighter set off dance crasher
Ah ooh Be a gentleman
You could be a champion
like Mr. Bunny Grant
The song "Dance Crasher" by Mimi Maura is a cautionary tale about the dangers of disrupting a peaceful dance party. The lyrics address someone referred to as a "dance crasher," who is causing a disturbance and potentially endangering the lives of others. The lines "please don't make fuzz, don't use a knife taking another fairless life" warn against using violence to solve problems and urge the dance crasher to think about the consequences of their actions.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "dance crasher" and adds the ominous warning "you'll be sorry," reinforcing the idea that the disrupter will face consequences if they continue to cause trouble. The second verse emphasizes the importance of enjoying the fleeting moments of a dance party, as it might be "your last dance." The final lines of the song urge the dance crasher to be a "gentleman" and emulate "Mr. Bunny Grant," a champion boxer known for his sportsmanship.
