Calling out around the world
Are you ready for a brand new beat?
We begin with a lie. The beat is the same beat as just about every other Motown tune. Not a good start, DITS.
Summer’s here and the time is right
For dancing in the streets.
It’s May, which means it is not summer in either the Northern or Southern Hemispheres. Jesus, man.
They’re dancing in Chicago
Down in New Orleans
In New York City.
Is there any evidence of these supposed sock hops? Cite your sources, DITS.
All we need is music, sweet music
There’ll be music everywhere
They’ll be swinging, swaying, records playing,
Dancing in the street.
We need so much more than the music. Little bit of booze, for one. Can’t really get a dance party off the ground without some booze, unless you’re a Mormon or something, and I notice that Provo was not included in the roll call of cities that were (allegedly) dancing in the streets. New Orleans needs alcohol to dance in the street, DITS. New Orleans needs alcohol to have funerals, for fuck’s sake.
It doesn’t matter what you wear,
Just as long as you are there.
There’s no dress code at all? Because that is just asking for trouble. Are you saying that if I showed up naked and covered in Bill Cosby’s rape-loving doodoo, then I’d still be welcomed to do the frug, the swim, and the monkey? What kind of party is that?
So come on, every guy, grab a girl,
Everywhere, around the world.
“Grab?” Have we learned nothing from #METOO? Don’t grab. Also: very heteronormative of you, DITS.
Way down in L.A, everyday
Dancing in the streets.
Are you even thinking about what this traffic-blocking hullaballoo will do to the local economy? You can’t run a city–let alone the entire world–on bipping and bopping and girl-grabbing. Think, why don’t you, DITS?
Grow the fuck up.
i’m woke now. thanks!
