You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
see that girl, watch that scene
digging the Dancing Queen
Friday night and the lights are low
looking out for the place to go
where they play the right music, getting in the swing
you come to look for a king
Anybody could be that guy
night is young and the music’s high
with a bit of rock music, everything is fine
you’re in the mood for a dance
and when you get the chance
You are the Dancing Queen
young and sweet only seventeen
Dancing Queen feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah
you can dance, you can jive
having the time of your life
see that girl, watch that scene
digging the Dancing Queen
You’re a teaser, you turn ’em on
leave ’em burning and then you’re gone
looking out for another anyone will do
you’re in the mood for a dance
and when you get the chance
You are the Dancing Queen
young and sweet only seventeen
Dancing Queen feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah
you can dance, you can jive
having the time of your life
see that girl, watch that scene
digging the Dancing Queen
«Footloose» is a song co-written and recorded by American singer-songwriter Kenny Loggins. It was released in January 1984 as the first of two singles by Loggins from the 1984 film of the same name (the other one being «Im Free (Heaven Helps the Man)»). The song spent three weeks at number one, March 31—April 14, 1984 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and was the first of two number-one hits from the motion picture, Footloose. Billboard ranked it at the No. 4 song for 1984.
The song was very well received, and is one of the most recognizable songs recorded by Loggins. It won Grammy Award for Song of the Year (1985). When the American Film Institute released its AFIs 100 Years…100 Songs, «Footloose» reached the 96th position. The song was covered by country music artist Blake Shelton for the 2011 remake of the 1984 film. The song has also been parodied by «Weird Al» Yankovic («Hooked on Polkas»). It was also made available as downloadable content for the Rock Band series. Kids Incorporated covered «Footloose» in 1984 in the Season 1 episode «Space Case». PureNRG sang «Footloose» on their 2007 debut album PureNRG.
