Men Without Hats vs. Weird Al Yankovic



Safety Dance
Men Without Hats
We can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
‘Cause your friends don’t dance
And if they don’t dance
Well they’re no friend of mine
Say
We can go where we want to
A place where they will never find
And we can act like we come
From out of this world
Leave the real one far behind
And we can dance
And sing
We can go when we want to
Night is young and so am I
And we can dress real neat
From our hats to our feet
And surprise them with a victory cry
Say
We can act if we want to
If we don’t nobody will
And you can act real rude
And totally removed
And I can act like an imbecile

And say
We can dance
We can dance
Everything’s out of control
We can dance
We can dance
We’re doing it from pole to pole
We can dance
We can dance
Everybody look at your hands
We can dance
We can dance
Everybody’s taking the chance

It’s a safety dance
Well it’s safe to dance
It’s safe to dance

We can dance if we want to
We’ve got all your life and mine
As long as we abuse it
Never going to lose it
Everything will work out right
I say
We can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
‘Cause your friends don’t dance
And if they don’t dance
Well they’re no friends of mine

I say
We can dance
We can dance
Everything’s out of control
We can dance
We can dance
We’re doing it from pole to pole
We can dance
We can dance
Everybody look at your hands
We can dance
We can dance
Everybody’s taking the chance

Well it’s safe to dance
Yes it’s safe to dance
Well it’s safe to dance
Well it’s safe to dance
Yes it’s safe to dance
Well it’s safe to dance yeah
Well it’s safe to dance
It’s a safety dance
Well it’s a safety dance
Well it’s a safety dance
Oh it’s a safety dance
Oh it’s a safety dance



The Brady Bunch
Weird Al Yankovic
You can watch Mr. Rogers
You can watch Three’s Company
And you can turn on Fame
Or The Newlywed Game
Or The Addams Family
I say
You can watch Barney Miller
And you can watch your MTV
And you can watch ‘til your eyes
Fall out of your head
That’ll be OK with me
And you can watch
TV

You can watch Johnny Carson
You can watch Phil Donahue
And you can use TV Guide
To help you decide
With capsulized review
Say
You can watch 60 Minutes
Even Captain Kangaroo
But there’s only set
So whatever you watch
Well you know
I gotta watch it too

Say
Give it up
Give it up
Television’s taking its toll
That’s enough
That’s enough
Gimme the remote control
I’ve been nice
I’ve been good
Please don’t do this to me
Turn it off
Turn it off
I don’t want to have to see

The Brady Bunch
Not The Brady Bunch
Well The Brady Bunch
Yeah The Brady Bunch

It’s the story of a lovely lady
Who was bringing up
Three very lovely girls
All of them had hair of gold
Like their mother
The youngest one in curls
It’s a story of a man named Brady
Who was busy with
Three boys of his own
They were four men
Living all together
Yeah but they were all alone
Until the one day
One day when the lady
Met the fellow
And they knew
And they knew it was
Much more than a hunch
Then they knew this group
Must somehow form a family
That’s the way
That’s the way
That’s the way they all became

The Brady Bunch
Well The Brady Bunch
Yeah The Brady Bunch
Well The Brady Bunch
Oh it’s The Brady Bunch
It’s The Brady Bunch
Oh The Brady Bunch yeah
Oh The Brady Bunch
It’s The Brady Bunch
Well it’s The Brady Bunch
Well it’s The Brady Bunch
Well it’s The Brady Bunch
It’s The Brady Bunch

  1. I was 20 when I danced safety dance, I think 1984-85, if I remember correctly. Thanks for the memories

  2. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear David!!! It is a rather catchy little tune. Alas, 1984 was when my first wife traded me in for one of my best friends, and my downward spiral accelerated considerably.

  7. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Metallman!!! Um, your disdain for The Brady Bunch wouldn't be clouding your judgment--would it? (It would mine.)

  8. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Ann!!! Even though I do find Safety Dance to be a rather catchy little tune, my disdain for The Brady Bunch pushes to embrace Weird Al again. (Did that sound kinda funny--in a weird, not ha ha, kind of way?)
