David Bowie and Mick Jagger
David Bowie and Mick Jagger's, "Dancing in the Streets"
Better Lyrics:
All we need is Miley, sweet Miley
There'll be tongues out everywhere
They'll be singing, swaying, rumps all shaking
Twerking to the beat, oh
Come on and take the dare, just lift your butts high in the air
So come on, every guy, every girl, on TV, shock the world
Just start twerking, twerking to the beat
There'll be tongues out everywhere
They'll be singing, swaying, rumps all shaking
Twerking to the beat, oh
Come on and take the dare, just lift your butts high in the air
So come on, every guy, every girl, on TV, shock the world
Just start twerking, twerking to the beat
Original Lyrics:
All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
They'll be swinging, swaying, records playing
Dancing 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'll be dancing, dancing in the street
There'll be music everywhere
They'll be swinging, swaying, records playing
Dancing 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'll be dancing, dancing in the street

David Bowie and Mick Jagger's, "Dancing in the Street"
Better Lyrics:
All they need is justice, real justice
With their hands up in the air
They'll be marching, praying, signs displaying
Anger in the street, oh
It doesn't matter that they're scared
Just as long as they are there
So come on, CNN, shoot that film
On the air, shown to the world
They'll be anger, anger in the streets
(Anger in the streets)
It's a demonstration seen in the nation, a race relations feat
They'll be marching and praying and not obeying
Anger in the streets
With their hands up in the air
They'll be marching, praying, signs displaying
Anger in the street, oh
It doesn't matter that they're scared
Just as long as they are there
So come on, CNN, shoot that film
On the air, shown to the world
They'll be anger, anger in the streets
(Anger in the streets)
It's a demonstration seen in the nation, a race relations feat
They'll be marching and praying and not obeying
Anger in the streets
Original Lyrics:
All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
They'll be swinging, swaying, records playing
Dancing 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'll be dancing, dancing in the street
(Dancing in the street)
It's an invitation across the nation, a chance for folks to meet
They'll be laughing and singing and music swinging
Dancing in the street
There'll be music everywhere
They'll be swinging, swaying, records playing
Dancing 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'll be dancing, dancing in the street
(Dancing in the street)
It's an invitation across the nation, a chance for folks to meet
They'll be laughing and singing and music swinging
Dancing in the street
