Artista: Martha And The Vandellas
Canzone: Dancing In The Streets (1964)
Dancing in the Street è un brano musicale scritto da William “Mickey” Stevenson e Marvin Gaye nel 1964 ed originariamente registrato dal gruppo femminile Martha and the Vandellas. Il brano divenne uno dei maggiori successi del gruppo, raggiungendo la seconda posizione della Billboard Hot 100, e ricevendo numerose cover negli anni successivi. Una delle reinterpretazioni di maggior successo del brano è senz’altro quella registrata in duetto da David Bowie e Mick Jagger nel 1985.

Dancing In The Streets
Callin’ out around the world, are you ready for a brand new beat?
Summer’s here and the time is right for dancin’ in the street.
Dancin’ in Chicago (dancin’ in the street)
Down in New Orleans (dancin’ in the street)
In New York City
All we need is music, sweet music,
There’ll be music everywhere
There’ll be swingin’ swayin’, and records playin,
Dancin’ in the street
Oh it doesn’t matter what you wear, just as long as you are there.
So come on every guy, grab a girl,
Everywhere, around the world
There’ll be dancin’, they’re dancin’ in the street.
This is an invitation, across the nation,
A chance for folks to meet.
There’ll be laughin’ singin’, and music swingin’
Dancin’ in the street
Philadelphia P.A., Baltimore and D.C now,
Can’t forget the motor city,
All we need is music, sweet music
There’ll be music everywhere
There’ll be swingin’ swayin’, and records playin,
Dancin’ in the street
Oh it doesn’t matter what you wear, just as long as you are there.
So come on every guy, grab a girl,
Everywhere, around the world
They’re dancin’, dancin’ in the street
Way down in L.A., every day they’re dancin’ in the street
Lets form a big strong line, and get in time,
We’re dancin’ in the street.
Across the ocean blue, me and you
We’re dancin n the street
