Lyrics:

Back in the good old dance when dancing meant exploding

The idea was simple for a decent overloading

And for a multiple flash with no cords attached

He came up with a more remote flash trigger

It's connected to an accessory to his hip

Which automatically fires in perfect synchro

But perhaps his most exciting development is his angle

They call it the dance

It's the St. Vitus dance

Such flexibility

What an accessory

See his soft bounce

What flexibility

Such a soft bounce

What an accessory

And for special effects he has six filters

Three coloured red with the others pilfered

And if you really want to know what that means

He could throw a blue flash from eighty-five feet

Of course you might want to check out your own little output

So we devised a few simple and easy to crack contortions

So you can bump and scrape all the day through

With the dance.

It's the St. Vitus dance, the St. Vitus dance

Such flexibility

What an accessory

Such a soft bounce

What flexibility

Such a soft bounce

Check his hot shoe

Feel his output

He's a light machine, see his angle

He's a light machine

I honestly think Bauhaus is one of the most intelligent, artistic, and challenging bands to ever emerge. They were innovative, and provacative, and there's really no one quite like them. And those have tried to emulate them always fall short. They are not a product of a golden era, they weren't even that popular when they came out. But they are timeless, and their music has spoken to a few of us for 30 years, and continues to find new listeners who "get it", and I think their music will continue to do just that.

Good example of why Peter Murphy struck out on his own.

'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through our house was blasting the "St. Vitus Dance" by Bauhaus; Torn fishnets were draped on my forearms with care, And two cans of Aquanet applied to my hair...

I love and admire Peter Murphy, been a goth since 11 years old. He is our Godfather of Gothic Music, without Peter Murphy, us Gothics wouldn't have been possible. Much Respect to Peter Murphy, can't wait to see him at THE ROXY this week, my 4th Murphy concert.

As a goth but also a rocker, I feel ashamed bout Kiss. They just sold theirselves...*Sighs* And David Bowie also lost lot of the musical quality...I mean, what the heck is that "80's anthem" Just Dance? At least it was less worst than some pop music today. :/ But I totally agree.
