Tanzt keiner Boogie
Silly Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wer tanzt mit mir,
Kein Mensch tanzt hier
Sie sitzen rum bei ihrem Bier
Keiner macht den Anfang gern
Doch wenn ihn keiner macht
Sitzt jeder steif auf seinem Stern
Noch um Mitternacht

Wer tanzt mit mir
Ich tanz' den Boogie ja so gern
Tanzt keiner Boogie
Von diesen hochverehrten Herrn

Wer tanzt mit mir,

Die schaun sich an
Die Kleine ist verr

Overall Meaning

ückt, sie sieht mich an
Die Burschen dreh'n sich um,
Ach, sieh nur diese Nieten
Ich war schon mal hier
Und damals waren wir zehn Leute

In Silly's song Tanzt keiner Boogie, the singer expresses their desire to dance the boogie but no one is joining them on the dance floor. They observe the others at the party sitting around drinking their beer, too nervous or shy to take the lead and start dancing. The singer feels frustrated with the lack of excitement and energy in the room and wishes for someone to join them. They're drawn to the boogie, but it seems to be a genre of music that is not appreciated or well-known by the other attendees.
