No I don't. You can't make me.
The champion of dance, his moves will put you in a trance, and he never leaves the disco alone.
Wait up! I'm gonna grab the camcorder and I'll be right with you.
Obviously you are not a woman who has been dancing the night away (among other things, by the looks of it) in heels.
The shoes come off at the first opportunity.
btw - I am not ashamed to say that in my youth I thought Adam Ant was one beautiful man.

80's = President Reagan = good times!
Yeah, but why just one?
The BEST Vanilla Ice live version was when he guest starred on "In Living Color" and parodied "Ice Ice Baby".
Oh yeah, that was Jim Carrey, and he did it better!
"I told my homies I was stabbed in the butt,
But it was a toilet paper cut YEEOW!"

We want to multiply
Are you gonna do it
I know you're qualified
Are you gonna do it
Don't be so circumscribed
Are you gonna do it
Just get yourself untied
Are you gonna do it
Feel the heat pushing you to decide
Feel the heat burning you up
Ready or not
Some like it hot
And some sweat when the heat is on
Some feel the heat
And decide that they can't go on
Some like it hot
But you can't tell how hot 'til you try
Some like it hot
So let's turn up the heat 'til we fry
The girl is at your side
are you gonna do it
She wants to be your bride
Are you gonna do it
She wants to multiply
Are you gonna do it
I know you won't be satisfied
Until you do it
Some like it hot
And some sweat when the heat is on
Some feel the heat
And decide that they can't go on
Some like it hot
But you can't tell how hot 'til you try
Some like it hot
So let's turn up the heat 'til we fry
Feel the heat pushing you to decide
Feel the heat burning you up
Ready or not
Some like it hot
And some sweat when the heat is on
Some feel the heat
And decide that they can't go on
Some like it hot
But you can't tell how hot 'til you try
Some like it hot
So let's turn up the heat 'til we fry
Some like it hot
Some like it hot
Some like it hot
Some like it hot
Some like it hot
Some like it hot
Some like it hot
Some like it hot
Unfortunately Falco was killed in a car crash in 1998, so no "Rock Me Amadeus".
I'm sorry but I don't have either artists on my play list. As you know, it is now common practice for artists to cop from one another. It is, IMO, the way in which they present the music.
For example, if a guitarist decides to "quote" a lick from another guitarist note for note in a song, he doesn't acknowledge the artist. This is just considered to be a salute to the guitarist that was quoted.
Maybe that foot has a corn? Maybe she had to run to the john and only had time to take off one before nature took it's course? She sang disco, didn't she? Who knows why those people did anything. : )
"Take on Me" was a ripper of a song. Best Norwegian export ever.
Where's Animotion? They had nothing after "Obsession" right?
* Ace - How Long (has this been going on)
A few years ago I saw a special with him and one of the things about him that was SUPPOSEDLY different was that he kept his wealth well invested.
I guess either the interview was a lie at that time or his finances bit the dust shortly after that.
I think what I saw was from around 2000.
They (a-ha) also were the first with the animation videos...
Remarkable. I actually have that 12' Single somewhere in my collection. Very smooth and husky singer from the era if I can remember.
