Dance To This Song (Full Song)

Lyrics to Dance To This Song

CHORUS
Let’s dance to this song!
Let’s dance to this song!
Let’s dance to this song!
Let’s d-d-d-d-d-d-d-dance!

VERSE 1
I know you’re thinkin that you heard this before
Some strings and bass to move your body to the floor
But girl don’t matter if the beats are the same
Cause seeing your body move I’m just glad you came.

PRECHORUS 1
Move this, move that, verse one, verse two
That’s all these songs are meant to do
Just melodies, don’t stop to think
Mindless moves girl let’s grab a drink!

VERSE 2
My turn to go but lyrics really don’t matter.
Cause I got the flow to make your booty move faster.
Err time I hear this song I get up on my feet and dance.
I just want the same old noise that keeps my body in a trance!

PRECHORUS 2
Insert cliche, then you’ll get plays
Drink, girls, dance, beat, blah blah repeat.
We made a hit, In 30 minutes
This s*** is tight! We done and did it!

BRIDGE
This is the music for our generation
The sounds for the kids that’s sweeping the nation.
From coast to coast, and club to club,
Here’s another pop song for all you to love.

Beats, Rhymes, and Resistance

Leave a reply

Here’s an interesting documentary over 10 years ago called “Beats, Rhymes, and Resistance”. This documentary was originally conceived and shot in 1997 by three amateur filmmakers (Dawn Mabalon, Lakan de Leon, Jonathan Ramos). They set out to create a document of the Pilipinos making noise in the Los Angeles hip hop scene at the time.

At that point, Pilipinos had yet to gain their full due as b-boys/girls, DJs, graffiti artists and emcees. Now as Pilipinos become more and more recognized for their skills, it is important to look back at a few of the pioneers who helped lay the foundation for the next generation of Pilipino/Pilipina artists. The females were fighting for respect in hip hop.

If you were into that scene back then, you may recognized names like Brian Bello, DJ Babu, DJ Dwenz, DJ Icy Ice, DJ Kid W.I.K. DJ Rhettmatic, DJ Symphony, Immortal Fader Fyters, Poet Name Life, Kiwi, Pai San Jose, and Faith Santilla. Check out this documentary and the skills these pioneers had.

Ed Wang Rookie Card

Virginia Tech’s Ed Wang becomes the NFL’s first full bloodied Chinese American player. The 6-foot-5, 315 pound offensive tackle was selected in the fifth round (the 140th overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft) by the Buffalo Bills. He ran 5.14 in the 49 yard dash and bench pressed 225lbs 29 times at the NFL combine. Growing up he was a Redskins fans. He’s stated that growing up he didn’t have any Chinese athletes to look up to. Ed will look to be a role model for young Asian Americans across the country

Both of Wang’s parents were members of the Chinese Olympic track and field team in the 1980s. His father (Robert) was a high-jumper, while his mother (Nancy) participated in the hurdles, so he definitely got athleticism running through his blood. Since childhood, Ed Wang has trained hard under the tutelage of his parents. He grew up in a a strict household. Ed couldn’t date until he got a college scholarship. And no driver’s license til he was 19 years old. His parents also shipped DVDs of Ed playing back to family in China

Check out some of the interviews below to see what it means to Ed Wang to be selected as the first Chinese American player
