A Really Cool Dance Song Lyrics


We grew up in the suburbs, got guitars for Christmas
And started a punk rock band
Then we traveled the nation became a sensation
In our '82 Dodge vanNow we're getting older and much more sober
And we've got some big ass payments to make
The wife wants a handbag, the kids need some college
And we just need one hit single to break
Get ready here it comes, yeahThis song sounds like a dance song 'cause dance songs are cool now
So get up and shake what your momma gave ya
It's our attempt at a dance song, a really cool dance song
It's gonna be a great big hitAnd now the label is so stoked, they don't get the damn joke
The downloads are off the charts
Like those bands on the TV in the frilly tuxedos
The ones that break the young girl's hearts
And now we can tooThis song sounds like a dance song 'cause dance songs are cool now
So get up and shake what your momma gave ya
It's our attempt at a dance song, a really cool dance song
I can't wait to hear the remixThis song sounds like a dance song 'cause dance songs are cool now

So get up and shake what your momma gave ya
It's our attempt at a dance song, a really cool dance song
It's gonna be a great big hitWho the hell are we foolin'? This isn't what we really do
We had to borrow this keyboard, we only listen to Mtley Cre
But it's gonna be really funny 'cause this song will be number oneThis song sounds like a dance song 'cause dance songs are cool now
So get up and shake what your momma gave yaThis song sounds like a dance song 'cause dance songs are cool now
So get up and shake what your momma gave ya
It's our attempt at a dance song, a really cool dance song
I can't wait to hear the remixThis song sounds like a dance song 'cause dance songs are cool now
So get up and shake what your momma gave ya
It's our attempt at a dance song, a really cool dance song
It's gonna be a great big hitIt's our new sound
We're gonna take it to the next level
You're gonna hear us in all the clubsDudes, wait, the drums just dropped out
No, the drums, no, it doesn't sound good anymore
It, I can't find the rhythm on the deal
It's, nah, it's cool, no, it's notAlright, we're back
We are dancing, this is awesome
We are dancing, dancing, dancing, dancing
And we're dancing, dancing, dancing

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Bowling for Soup (acronym: BFS, or sometimes B4S) is a pop punk band based in Denton, Texas (but originally from Wichita Falls, Texas) formed in 1994 from the ruins of an old metal band. Quoting Jaret Reddick, the lead singer, "we wanted to make happy music". They're known for their often humorous lyrics, upbeat guitar riffs, and Jaret's distinctive voice.

They are best known for their singles "Girl All The Bad Guys Want" in 2002 on Drunk Enough To Dance which was nominated for a 2003 Grammy Award for "Best Pop Performance by a Group or Duo" and "1985" (originally written by Mitch Allan of SR-71) in 2004 on A Hangover You Don't Deserve. Speaking with Songfacts about "Girl All The Bad Girls Want" in a 2010 interview, Reddick said: "'Girl All The Bad Guys Want' was my very first co-write ever, and me and Butch Walker sat in a room and literally wrote that song in 30 minutes. I mean, it was done."

The band's name is derived from comedian Steve Martin's "Bowling for Sh*t" routine from his 1978 comedy album, Wild and Crazy Guy, itself a reference to Bowling for Dollars. Jaret Reddick has also stated that at the end of his last performance with his old band one of the members came on stage and proclaimed "Come back next week when we play with our new band... Bowling For Soup!". This was supposed be to be joke name, but since they couldn't think of anything better the name stuck. Their single '1985' can be found on the UK and the Norwegian editions of Singstar Rocks for the PS2.

They have also became hits on Radio Disney with edits of "1985", "Punk Rock 101", "High School Never Ends", and the inclusion of their version of "I Melt With You" in the Disney movie "Sky High". They have also written and recorded "Today Is Gonna Be A Great Day" as the theme song for Disney's "Phineas and Ferb"
