The Donnas Dancing With Myself

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

The Donnas have performed a fair amount of songs since their formation in 1993 as the Electrocutes. Originally a garage band, they’ve come a long way from their humble, self-taught beginnings and revealed their talent as a band to be awed by fans and feared by competitors.

Want proof? Just listen to The Donnas Dancing With Myself. Taking the classic Billy Idol song and infusing it with their own unique energy, The Donnas have created an identity all their own and claimed their own unique version of the song that would do Billy Idol proud (and probably did, since he’s still alive and kicking).

The song is simple; it glorifies the lack of need to have a partner. Who needs one to have fun at a party? All you need is a wild step and a sense for good cheer. The song fits in well with Mean Girls, as it played as the movie’s credits rolled.

Lyrics to Dancing With Myself:

In the walls of Tokyo
Down in London town’s a go-go
With the record selection
And the mirror’s reflection
I’m be dancing with myself

Oh, when there’s no one else in sight
In a crowded, lonely night
well I waited so long for my love vibration
And I’m dancing with myself

[Refrain]
Oh, oh, oh dancing with myself
Oh, oh, oh dancing with myself
When there’s nothing to lose
And there’s nothing to prove
well I’ll dancing with myself
Oh, oh, oh, oh

If I looked all over the world
And there’s every type of girl
But their empty eyes seem to pass me by
leave me dancing with myself

So let’s sink another drink
‘Cause it’ll give me time to think
If I had a chance, I’d ask the world to dance
And I’m dancing with myself

[Refrain]
Oh, oh, oh, oh [4x]

Well, if I looked all over the world
And there’s every type of girl
But their empty eyes seem to pass me by
And leave me dancing with myself

So let’s sink another drink
‘Cause it’ll give me time to think
If I had a chance, I’d ask world to dance
And I’ll be dancing with myself

{As refrain}
Oh, oh, oh dancing with myself
Oh, oh, oh dancing with myself
If I had a chance, I’d ask world to dance
If I had a chance, I’d ask world to dance
If I had a chance, I’d ask world to dance

Oh, oh, oh, oh [9x]
Yea sweat
An I sweat
An I sweat
An I sweat
An I sweat [x10]
