Let Me Take You Dancing, Bryan Adams, 30 years ago.

From Hank's GrooveYard of Forgotten Favorites:


Ever heard a song, maybe a oldie or something off the normal Top 100 track that you really liked but never found out who sang it?

Then, maybe on Sirius satellite radio, you hear it and see the artist and say, WHOA, its a artist you're quite familiar with but you never knew they sang that song.

And to be honest, it doesn't sound like said artist.


I'm listening to a old disco song that I remember from those days and heard on the radio quite a bit. The song was called Let Me Take You Dancing and was a popular dance tune in the day.

But its who sang it that really is the surprise. And you wouldn't know it by listening as the artist was quite young back then, and the studio did speed up the recording slightly to match the normal beats-per-minute for a late 70s disco song, which in turn raised the pitch of the artist's male voice.

The artist..

Lyrics:

From the edge of the city there comes a sound
Makes you wanna turn your head around
Fills you with desire
Sets both your feet on fire

How could you stand to be alone
How could you stay at home so ...

Let me take you dancing
Let me steal your heart tonight
Let me take you dancing
All night long

Strolling through an easy feel
To the motions that make it rock 'n reel
You can learn to fake it
Keep on trying and you're bound to make it

It's gonna turn up upside down
It's gonna spin you 'round so ...

Let me take you dancing
Let me steal your heart tonight
Let me take you dancing
Let me make you feel alright
Hank the Tank
The Rock Ape of the Cape
