Dance Or Die (c) 1992 by Lewis D'Aubin and Kirk Madison PREV TRACK NEXT TRACK "Welcome to Club Tyson!" Dance - dance all night Dance - dance all day You're so sexy... cause I'm X-ing Dance - dance all night Dance - dance or die The motion is unending, you fear being untrendy "The coat! Another Bob Mackie original!" Let us play your silly game I want to feel the precious pain Falling through this masquerade I want to bathe in acid rave Dance - dance all night Dance - dance or die Love to stay throes delay love to play until we came Sinful shame pulsating pain in the name of all we blame Dance - dance all night Your body is revolving, your will is dissolving Dance - dance all night Dance - dance or die Your body is suspended in a vat, upended synth solo Dance - dance all night Dance - dance or die "If we must die, let us die together, here on the dance floor." "Androgyny - is it a crime?" Tie your hands behind your head drop dead follow me to bed Take my hand my wedding band do exactly as we planned Take a knife end my life we have played your silly game Here I lay your smile betrays you remain I'm not to blame Dance - dance all night "This music is revolting" Dance - dance or die "Let us join in the revolution" Dance - dance all night "Are you an American?" Dance

This song was an attempt by Kirk and I to record the gayest sounding Euro techno disco song EVER. I programmed this on the ESQ-1, driving the Roland TR-505, which was heavily processed through EQ and various reverbs. The keyboard solo was performed at 75% speed on the black keys, and improv'd completely on the first take. Best solo I ever wrote. The word 'dance' was sampled with distortion from Kirk's Rockman into the ART Multiverb one-shot sampler, and put down to tape on a separate track. While recording this, we decided that Kirk had a better grasp of the required vocal tone (and he was a better singer than me at this point), so I set up a mic and he tried recording. Unfortunately, the lines we were coming up with were so ridiculous that we kept cracking each other up. The only solution was for Kirk to ensconse himself in the closet with the mic and the remote for the tape machine. I left the room and came back in an hour - the result was perfect. We spent the rest of the evening making up ridiculous background lines that are heard between the verses. By the time we got to "Are you an American?" we couldn't stop laughing, but fortunately, it was also the end of the song.
