'''Old 97's - "Dance with Me"'''
Underneath the foreign stars
In a foreign place
Where they don't love you
I do turn
In the pale moonlight
Your eyes are wide
And the band plays
Everybody wants you
And he takes your hand, tenderly
And he whispers sweet surrender
Nothing, is how he feels about girls like you
With your flip flop smiles
And your big blue eyes on vacation
Dance with me into the ocean
Roll with me into the sea
Don't tell me the world is in trouble
Do you want to dance with me
Love changes hands
As the big waves crash
And the dream don't die but, I do
Where were you when I needed you
Right now, the telephone just rings
I'm cannot find you
Dance with me into the ocean
Roll with me into the sea
Don't tell me the world is in trouble
Do you want to dance with me, oh
Do you want to dance with me
Underneath the foreign sun
With a foreign man who's gone
And almost forgotten
Drink everything you see
And remember us and wonder
If you will be forgiven
Dance with me into the ocean
Roll with me into the sea
Don't tell me the world is in trouble
Don't tell me the world is in trouble
Dance with me into the ocean
Roll with me into the sea
Don't tell me the world is in trouble
Do you want to dance with me
Do you want to dance with me, oh
Do you want to dance with me

| ziakut (Right Here) | Posted: Sep 20, 2012 - 13:14 Was just feeling a bit surprised that this was indeed Old 97s. I was about to mute this baby thinking it was Cake. |
| gosvimmink | Posted: Sep 20, 2012 - 13:12 i love this band, but this song is like old 97s meets green day meets flogging molly meets the gilligans island theme song |

| expatlar (Michoacan, Mexico) | Posted: Jul 19, 2012 - 15:20 I really am amused by the number of very negative comments about this song. This is the kind of song I expect to hear on...eCLECtic radio. It's not like this was thrown in on the usual drive time 'loop' you are used to listening to. I liked it. My two cents, yadayada.. |

I went to the link and was immediately swamped with too much information for my current space. I shall go back, because there are a lot of intriguing things I want to read. Thanks, as always, Businessgypsy. You're very good at stirring people out of apathy and into interest. :-D |
| OCDHG (High on a mountain) | Posted: Apr 23, 2011 - 10:28 Love the Old 97's... but this,... not so much. |

There may well have been a couple of musical measures that sounded like Paint it Black. But that is all, and I really like Dance with Me. It gets a firm 7 from me. |

| helgigermany (Germany) | Posted: Sep 14, 2010 - 15:05 Not so bad! Dont know why i gave this a 3! |
| DaveInVA (In a hovel in effluent Damnville, VA) | Posted: Aug 21, 2010 - 15:09 Good Stuff!  The Old 97 was a famous train wreck that happened here in my town of Damnville in 1903. I wonder if any of the band is from this area or why they picked that name? |
| lysisphere (largest contiguous ponderosa forest) | Posted: Jun 21, 2010 - 08:14 I've listened to this album 10thousand times. And I love it each time. |
| Art_Carnage (DeepintheheartofTexas) | Posted: May 20, 2010 - 12:46 The Olds rule, and not just because they're a local band. |

| jameyp (New York via Austin) | Posted: Mar 12, 2010 - 12:10 i agree with several of the comments below. I absolutely LOVE the Old 97's, but this song just isn't their best. Sorta boring and formulaic— in my meager opinion But please play more Old 97's in general— yay! |
| zipper | Posted: Jan 11, 2010 - 15:17 still a 1 |

| Jack_Jefferson (Columbus, OH) | Posted: Dec 11, 2009 - 06:33 Fleet Foxes - Blue Ridge Mountains Iron & Wine - Passing Afternoon Jenny Lewis & The Watson Twins - You Are What David Byrne - Girls On My Mind All before this. Great set, Bill! Love the 97's!! The video to this song is rather funny too. |

Really different sound than what I'm accustomed to from the 97s. Interesting. Now that you mentioned that, there are some similarities, especially on this track. |
