Suburban Legends, "Last Dance" from Rump Shaker (The Last Angry Man)
Skemmentary: For many years, the Suburban Legends were Disney's pet ska band, performing full-time @ Disneyland. "Last Dance" combines two classic ska-punk tropes: not getting the girl & kvetching about fame. The protagonist says over again he doesn't want to dance (part of their shtick @ Disneyland), which is drudgery, but would rather be a touring sex, drugs, & rock & roll stereotype. No one ever accused the Suburban Legends of being particularly enlightened or overly cerebral.
"But think how my life could be
If this band it had never happened to me,
Visions of rock and roll are leaving me,
'Cause there only in my dreams.
And I don't wanna dance,
I don't wanna dance no more!
I say, I don't wanna dance,
I don't wanna dance no more,
(No time for rock and roll!)
I don't wanna dance,
I don't wanna dance no more!
I don't wanna dance,
I don't wanna dance,
I don't wanna dance,
I don't wanna dance!…"
