Genesis - I Can't Dance
This song is really kind of a blues-pop-rock phenomenon as it has a melody that is considered catchy in each and every category and the music video does indeed tend to make you replay it at least a thousand times. This song is indeed a single that has been covered many times, by loads of different artists and the irony of it all lies in the fact that this song is different compared to the main sound of the band at it was actually recorded as a kind of experiment which would lead the band to mainstream success eventually.
burning my feet just walking around.
Hot sun making me sweat
'Gators getting close, hasn't got me yet
I can't dance, I can't talk.
Only thing about me is the way I walk.
I can't dance, I can't sing
I'm just standing here selling everything.
Blue Jean's sitting on the beach,
her dog's talking to me, but she's out of reach.
She's got a body under that shirt,
but all she wants to do is rub my face in the dirt.
Cause, I can't dance, I can't talk.
Only thing about me is the way I walk.
I can't dance, I can't sing
I'm just standing here selling.
Oh and checking everything is in place,
you never know who's looking on.
Young punk spilling beer on my shoes,
fat guy's talking to me trying to steal my blues.
Thick smoke, see her smiling through.
I never thought so much could happen just shooting pool.
But I can't dance, I can't talk.
The only thing about me is the way that I walk.
I can't dance, I can't sing
I'm just standing here selling...
Oh and checking everything is in place
You never know who's looking on
A perfect body
with a perfect face - uh-huh.
No, I can't dance, I can't talk.
The only thing about me is the way I walk.
No, I can't dance, I can't sing
I'm just standing here selling everything.
But I can walk.
No I can't dance.
No no no I can't dance. (begins to fade out)
No I said I can't sing.
But I can walk.
