What if Sterix wrote a dance song - one of those cheesy ones with its own weird-ass dance moves? Not exactly the question I usually ask myself but for some strange reason I did exactly that half an hour ago (I know it was that long ago because I'd just started writing when the dog's 7 o'clock "feed me" alarm went off. ).
In that time I got the tune well and truly going round my head and the lyrics pretty much nailed (I have an either/or with the chorus).
Yes, these are not your typical Sterix lyrics but pretty much from the off they weren't meant to be. I wasn't writing my usual genres obviously and this calls for a more simplistic approach. I still wanted some sort of sophistication to them but that's for you to decide how well I managed that.
If anyone would like to help turn this into this year's "best-selling, most-annoying" dance track (I wish! ) feel free to PM me and I'll make some vocals available to give you the gist of it.BOOTIE BOOGIEChorusTurn around
Twirl around
Everybody jump around
Throw your arms up in the air
Shake your bootie to the ground
To the left
To the right
Everybody hold on tight
Everybody, everywhere
This is bootie boogie night
VerseI got the fever
Running deeper
Than it ever did before
And now the diva
Mama mia
She is dancing up the walls
I'm going crazy
Someone save me
Got the music in my veins
And I ain't stoppin'
This here rockin'
Gotta let loose once again

VerseWhat a feelin'
Been sent reelin'
I am gettin' in the groove
You cannot have more
Than a dance floor
And a beat to make ya move

Getting louder
Gonna break up through the roof
All you haters
See ya later!
This is pure one-hundred proof
