about

A friend suggested that I do a parody of the Springsteen song, "Dancing in the Dark." As a huge fan of the Boss, the idea appealed to me, but I wasn't sure if I could make it work as a whole song. Until the premise came to me to make it about a dangerous new dance craze. And I was off to the races!

Dancing in the Car
Parody of “Dancing in the Dark” by Bruce Springsteen
New lyrics by Jeff Whitmire

Morning traffic is creeping,
I've been stuck here twenty two days.
Then without any warning,
My jam comes on and I’m gonna start a craze.
I hit the gas and start twerking,
Man, I’m just way too distracted to drive.
Join the crash mob,
All the way down I-95.

I hear screeching tires,
There’s pile ups and fires, both near and far,
Soon you’ll aspire,
To join the fad and be dancing in the car.

I’ll get your engines moving,
Radio’s on and I’m blasting out the Boss,
And now the highway is grooving,
Gonna dance the dab, the whip, the floss.
Man we ain’t driving nowhere,
This freeway's become a discotech,
We’re just to fired up to care,
If we all get a little wrecked.

Now here’s my desire,
To see you perspire in your Jaguar,
Once you're inspired,
You and I will be dancing in the car.

I hear a of couple of buzzkills,
Complaining ‘bout delays and broken glass,
But since the traffic is standstill,
Let’s Harlem Shake on the over pass.

It’s sweeping ‘cross the country,
All of our bumpers have gone concave.
From California to Jersey,
Hey baby, let’s turn your Jeep into a rave,
It’s instant satisfaction,
Once you’ve gone EDM derby you’ll never go back,
We’re gonna lose some traction,
Born to dance, in my Pink Cadillac.
Let’s blow up like C4,
Dancing through the head wounds and the gaping scars,
Let’s start a detour,
Everyone will be dancing in their cars,
Just throw off the shackles,
Back that EZ pass up, be a Turnpike star,
Let’s shake some axle,
Everyone will be dancing in the car.

Everyone will be dancing in the car,
Even the troopers are dancing in the car,
Electric Sliding through stop signs in the car,
We’ll limo limbo and conga with our cars,
Walk like Egyptians and Tango in our cars,
Unsafety dancing on off ramps with our cars,
Let’s rent a Prius and mosh pit with the car,
We’ll Kiki challenge the country by our cars.
