In the 4^th edition of Dance Hitz 🕺 💃 🎶 (2022), we totally get down with 🎙 Lady Gaga performing the danceable gem, 🎵 “Just Dance” featuring 🎙 Colby O’Donis.

Theme & Lyrics ✍

“I had a little bit too much, much / All of the people start to rush,” 🎙 Lady Gaga asserts in the first verse of her 2008, debut single, 🎵 “Just Dance.” The 🏆 Academy/Grammy award winner continues singing, “A dizzy twister dance, can’t find my drink or man / Where are my keys? I lost my phone, phone.” Clearly, Lady Gaga is drunk AF, having a little too much fun at the club.  Her inebriation is our listening pleasure.  She’s assisted by 🎙 Colby O’Donis on this 💿 The Fame standout. Following the success of “Just Dance,” Lady Gaga’s ascended and remains electric to this day.

The production by 🎛 RedOne is the perfect fuel for Gaga’s fire.  Unsurprisingly, the biggest moment of “Just Dance” – where everyone wants to take their booty to the dance floor – is the chorus.  Basically, after getting drunk, she’s going to dance, baby!

“Just dance

Gonna be okay, da-da-doo-doot-n

Just dance

Spin that record, babe, da-da-doo-doot-n…”

As you can imagine – or listen/read the lyrics – more craziness happens at the club.  In the second verse, she questions “How’d I turn my shirt inside out?” Colby arrives in the third bringing some swagger and trying to get some, of course: “I’ma hit it, I’ma beat it up, latch onto it until tomorrow, yeah / Shorty, I can see that you got so much energy / The way you twirlin’ up them hips ‘round and ‘round / And there is no reason at all why you can’t leave here with me.” Oh, sugar-honey-iced-tea!

Final Thoughts 💭 

You never forget your first.  I highly doubt that Lady Gaga has or can ever forget the impact that 🎵 “Just Dance” had on pop and dance.  Yes, she’s since evolved beyond this classic from her catalog, but “Just Dance” still ranks at the top of her illustrious musical collection.  What I’m saying is, we’re still dancing!
