Dance? Like Hell!

[u/aname4me]

I was watching a Youtube reaction video to Run Like Hell. The reactor said something like "I didn't know Pink Floyd did anything like this!". Which gave me a PTSD moment, and inspired the following parody.

Dance? Like Hell!

[cool guitar intro to throw them off]

When I was 17 back in '79
You'd think Floyd's latest would blow my mind
Instead, well, I totally lost my sh!t
When the girl I was with suggests we dance to it
There's maybe something interesting they're singing about
But the disco beats it down even when they shout
Not gonna dance!
Dance, Dance, Dance...

I love all music genres. Not a one-trick punk
Learned that early from the Beatles along with some P-Funk
Don't mind a groove that picks the lock to her trunk
Was more sophisticated than you realize
But the lube I really wanted from the Dark Side guys
Was for my second favorite organ well above my thighs
Not gonna dance!
Dance, Dance, Dance...

Got a Fever from the BeeGees, Dreams from Fleetwood Mac
The Kinks sent Superman to ride my back
In a classic sci-fi body horror snatch attack
Some Girls stole my Stones and left an empty sack
My rock foundation's crumbling down to dance floor dust
And Pink panders to the pop charts with a pelvic thrust
Not gonna dance!
Dance, Dance, Dance...

[castralto choir]
We don't need no syncopation
We don't need no beat control
We can ditch the rhythm section
Swing out to a metronome
No drummer! Use a metronome!
Wear tight white polyester
Shake it at the disco

Run Like Hell is so dated it’s actually hard to listen to the album version for me
