Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey baby won't you take a chance.
Say that you'll let me have this dance.

Well let's dance, let's dance.
We'll do the twist, the stomp,
The mashed potatoes too
Any old dance that you want to do.
Well let's dance, well let's dance.

Hey baby yeah you thrill the soul
Hold me tight, never let me go.

Well let's dance, let's dance
We'll do the twist, the stomp,
The mashed potatoes too
Any old dance that you want to do
Well let's dance, well let's dance

Hey baby if you're all alone
Baby you'll let me walk you home

Well let's dance, let's dance
We'll do the twist, the stomp,
The mashed potatoes too
Any old dance that you want to do
Well let's dance, well let's dance
Hey baby yeah you swing it right
Yes I know that tonight's the night

Well let's dance, let's dance.
We'll do the twist, the stomp,
The mashed potatoes too
Any old dance that you want to do




Well let's dance, well let's dance
Well let's dance, well let's dance

O mundo é um lugar melhor por causa do Eddy Vedder. ❤️

@BrunoBuzollo

Aham, vitimas da barragem de Mariana estão esperando a doação prometida até hj

@apenasumafabi

EDDIE VEDDER É UM CARA MARAVILHOSO!
Uma puta história de vida, amiguíssimo do Cornell, sobrevivente real!

@RALDREIROCHA

Esse caso é muito atípico: um adolescente totalmente chapado de questões familiares, uma cena grunge chapada de dorgas, um original grunge, vários caindo nas piores loucuras e um front resistente a tudo isso. Esse é o caos do caso que não se chapou e se livrou. Que front!

@CanalDaLukaSalomao

Exaaaatamente

@pablosantos5915

De arrepiar ver o relato da biografia de um cara que nunca fez questão de ser querido, mas que com seu carisma, simplicidade e presenças de espírito e de palco, se tornou mais do que um vocalista de uma mega banda de rock.

@CanalDaLukaSalomao

Bem isso!!!

@arianefrias

Eddie Vedder sempre teve meu coração desde meus 13 anos. O que eu não contava era que eu aprenderia a admirá-lo pelo ser humano que é ! ❤️
Episódio maravilhoso Luka 🫶🏻

@dominiquenique

Faz por favor sobre o Roland Orzabal do Tears For Fears, a banda é toda sobre psicologia, sobretudo embasada na terapia do grito primal (daí o hit "Shout, shout, let it all out"). O Roland é a mente por trás da banda e ele é fascinado por psicanálise, até porque a relação dele com os pais foi bem trash e ele meio que tentou lidar com isso por meio dos álbuns.

@blackskullblade9966

Ten e um Álbum sensacional o Eddie Vedder além de uma voz marcante o cara pode ser considerado um único sobrevivente da era Grunge que com o tempo acabou ceifando os grandes ícones do estilo
