While not anywhere as energetic as Jim Adam’s song, “Tear It Up” by the Cramps, here is a song I think fits the challenge. David Bowie needs no introduction.
Let’s dance
Let’s dance
Let’s dance – Put on your red shoes and dance the blues
Let’s dance – To the song they’re playin’ on the radio
Let’s sway – While colour lights up your face
Let’s sway – Sway through the crowd to an empty space
If you say run, I’ll run with you
If you say hide, we’ll hide
Because my love for you
Would break my heart in two
If you should fall
Into my arms
Tremble like a flower
Let’s dance
Let’s dance
Let’s dance – For fear your grace should fall
Let’s dance – For fear tonight is all
Let’s sway – You could look into my eyes
Let’s sway – Under the moonlight, this serious moonlight
If you say run, I’ll run with you
And if you say hide, we’ll hide
Because my love for you
Would break my heart in two
If you should fall
Into my arms
And tremble like a flower
Let’s dance
Let’s dance
Let’s dance – Put on your red shoes and dance the blues
Let’s dance – To the song we’re playing
Let’s sway
Let’s sway – Under the moonlight, the serious moonlight
Let’s dance
Let’s
Let’s
Let’s
Let’s sway
Let’s
Let’s dance
Jim’s Challenge: Respond to this challenge by either using the prompt word leavin’, or going with the above picture, or by means of the song ‘Tear It Up’, or by going with another song that was sung by The Cramps or Johnny Burnette, or a song that is about having a wild, high-energy time while dancing and partying, or another early rock and roll or rockabilly song, or a song where someone mentions they are leaving, or you can go with whatever you think fits.
Wow, it was good to hear this song again as I love Bowie’s voice and the guitar played by Stevie Ray Vaughan on this track. The video was new to me and very enjoyable, thanks for sharing your music, Lisa.
