ManDanceTM: Big Beautiful Love Machine
This ManDanceTM followed months of Sturm und Drang
while Tom and I went through the process of separating and divorcing. So it was my explicit intent to gather fun
and perky music. This mix starts at
about 120 beats per minute and heads up to 130.
Love Machine by Houston-based Machine in Motion kicks
things off. The title for this ManDance TM comes from a sampled quote used at the beginning and end of the
remix version.
Don’t Stop That Crazy Rhythm is one of my all-time favorite
songs. Rodney and I were dancing at The Trocadero in San Francisco around 1982 when the D.J. played
this. The crowd had such a good time
they paused when it was done and applauded the D.J.
Lipps Inc appears again, this time with All Night Dancing. I love
the 24-hour recap of its main lyric:
“All night dancing. I think about
it all day long.”
Magnifique appears again, this time in the wonderfully campy vocal version for John. Its joyful playfulness wraps up the mix nicely.
