Certain songs always prompt me to proclaim, “They don’t write lyrics like that anymore.” I’m thinking of songs like “Disco Lady” (“Shake it up shake it down; move it in move it round”). “Dancing in the Moonlight” is one of those songs: “Everybody here is out of sight. They don’t bark and they don’t bite.”
Ain’t that the truth!
