[Cm] The funny thing about Safety Dance [C] is that it wasn't even the first single off the [Bb] album.
[Fm] We released another, I got [Bb] the message first [D] and then Safety [C] Dance second.
[Fm] And it was only when the remix, when the 12-inch remix [F] of [C] Safety Dance hit [D] number one [C] on the
whole thing exploded and was re [Eb]-released [Ab] and did what it did.
But we [Bb] were in studio making [Eb] another record.
We were happy that [Ab] it had [C] gone to number 12 [Cm] in [Bb] Canada.
It was [F] great.
But the [Bb] [D] combination of the 12-inch remix [C] and the video was [Bb] [Dm] what made this song [Fm] stand out.
I think the fact that people were expecting [F] a real new wave techno [C]-looking [Bb] band and they
got Peter Pan [Ab] instead, I think [F] created quite a stir [Eb] in the [Ab] new wave community [Dm] and [Bb] [Eb] certainly
[Fm] changed [F] my life.
[Bb] [Eb] [Ab]
[C] [G] [D] [A]
[C] [G] [D] [A] Good logo too.
[C] Served me well.
We can dance if you want [Bb] to.
We've got all your [F] life in mind.
As long as we [Bb] have your touch, we're never [C] gonna let you go.
I'm still in touch with [G] quite a few of the people who [C] made that video too.
Mike, [F] who played the little person, and Louise, [Bb] who played [C] the crazy girl.
[G]
[F] He's still making [Bb] movies and she's the [Ab] editor of [Fm] Cosmopolitan [Bb] in the [Eb] UK.
[Ab]
[F] They're still [Bb] around.
[Eb]
[F] The song was re-written about me getting, after I got kicked out of a bar in Ottawa
too, [Abm] I got kicked out [D] for pogoing to the B-52s, I think, Rock [A] Lobster.
[D] Dying [G] Days of Disco.
[D] [E] I got kicked out of the bar and [C] went home and wrote this.
[G] [D] It's safe to dance.
[A]
[C] It's safe to dance.
[D] And I think it's a [A] message that [C] kids still want to hear today.
Glee did a really great job of it.
Yeah, it is safe to dance.
