What is happening here
Something's going on that's not quite clear
Somebody turn on the lights
We're gonna have a party
It's starting tonight

Chorus:
Oh, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Oh, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling

The room is hot and that's good
Some of my friends came by from the neighborhood
The people startin' a climb the walls
Ooh it looks like everybody is having a ball

Chorus:
Oh, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Oh, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Oh, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Oh, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling

Come on!

Everybody start to lose control
When the music is right
If you see somebody hangin' around
Don't get uptight
The only thing we want to do tonight
Is go 'round and 'round
And turn upside down
Come on! Let's get down!

So come on! Let's get loose
Don't hold back
'Cause ain't no use
Hard to keep your feet on the ground
'Cause when we like to party
We only want to get down

Chorus:
Oh, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Oh, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Oh, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Oh, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling

(Scream, whistles) Say what?
Can't stop now
Just getting started
Everybody clap your hands
Come on
Everybody let's dance

Chorus:
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Oh, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Oh, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Oh, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Baby, baby
We gonna dance all night
Till the broad daylight
Keep on movin', keep on groovin'
Oh yeah
Oh, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling
(Begin fade)
Oh, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling...

I'll bet it was easy to do "Dancing on the Ceiling", as the ceiling was on the ground.

The color white was pretty big in the early 80s, apparently.

...The concert ended with a spectacular F-111 flyover courtesy of the Australian Air Force, commemorating Operation El Dorado Canyon with their famous "Zippo" fuel dump and burn display.

Cat Stevens redux. he's probably a descendant of N. Africans. Prolly part libyan from his looks.

Feel it in your heart
And feel it in your soul
Let the madman in you take control
We're going to jihad
martyr, for virgins, forever
Come on and sing my song!

All night long! All night
All night long!

One good thing to come from this discord between cultures is less basketbal players are getting with their roots and renaming themselves after their North African ancestors. More Willie and less Abdul. I never figured out why they get all misty for the place that sold their ancestors into slavery.

For an encore, Lionel was joined by Osama bin Laden to sing a duet...

Hello...is it me you're looking for?

I'm confused.


BTW, maybe I now understand why his daughter is such a nutjob. (Nicole Richie, the Paris Hilton counterpart)

Yeah, I think Cassius Clay sounds a lot better than Mohammed Ali.....and Lew Alcindor a lot better than Kareem Abdul Jabbar....although kareem does sort of reflect on his career...i.e. the ball kareemed off the backboard....well...kinda sorta....
