The Rebel Black Dot Song o' the Day: SKApril X


The Forces of Evil, "Dance the Night Away" from Friend or Foe? (Rude Boy Mike Papa Whiskey)

Skammentary: For those of you playing along with the home version of SKApril pub trivia (of course, this year we're all playing the home version), The Forces of Evil was a short-lived side project of Reel Big Fish front man Aaron Barrett.

An interweb image search for the phrase "dance the night away" produced principally photos of a K-Pop girl group called Twice, which released a song also titled "Dance the Night Away" long after & utterly unrelated to The Forces of Evil's "Dance the Night Away." As circumstances would have it, though, that turned out to be quite fitting for our "Dance the Night Away."
"Can you see her, so fine and pretty,
Moving with a style and ease?
And you see her from across the room,
Yes, it's love in the third degree.

"Ooo, baby, baby,
Won't you turn your love my way?
Ooo, baby, baby,
Take a chance, you're old enough—

"To dance the night away!
Dance, dance, dance the night away!

"A live wire! Girl, you're" [unintelligible],
"But just watch that lady go,
She's on fire, 'cause dancing gets her hotter
Than anything else she know-ow-ows!

"Ooo, baby, baby,
Won't you turn your love my way?
Ooo, baby, baby,
Take a chance, you're old enough—

"To dance the night away!
Dance, dance, dance the night away!

"Alright,
Dance, dance the night away!
Dance, dance, dance the night away!
Dance, dance the night away!
Dance, dance, dance the night away!
Let's dance!"
