Welcome back everyone to the 2nd edition of the 6th series of The Jukebox. A look at music from past and present!
Now, I thought I had already featured this on a previous edition of The JukeBox (or even MusicLyricMonday/Friday) but I haven’t…so here is a classic from 2000, it is Mark McCabe’s, Maniac 2000! Enjoy!
Lyrics, YouTube and Spotify is all after the jump!
Lyrics:
Yeah – yeah – yeah – yeah
all you guys better know the first verse
are you ready now
alright
She walked across the dance floor that night
she was dressed to kill
she was a sexy lady
she had to get her thrill
How’d she get him
how’d she know
and all the music – the beat – the tempo
she was all up for that night
she was in for a fright
standby
Back in the house for the year 2000
yeah – yeah – funky – yeah
she’s a craic – she’s a craic
she’s a maniac
Alright
she walked across the dance floor that night
she was dressed to kill
she was a sexy lady
she had to get her thrill
How’d she get him
how’d she know
and all the music – to beat – the tempo
she was all up for that night
she was in for a fright
She said: “Greetings”
hold tight with a new jam
hold tight with the mic in the left hand
it’s me and I’m up on the groove tip
are you ready now move to the roof
Now life; It has no meaning
are you ready now – move to the madness
on a party night to you
we bring this groove to you
Are you ready now – move to the groove
put your hands up in the air
one simple question to answer
“Are. You. Ready!?”
Every single person in the house tonight
lets hear you singing she’s a maniac
she’s a maniac, maniac on the floor
and she’s dancin’
and she’s dancin’ like she never did before
right here on the Dublin dance floor
She’s a maniac, maniac on the floor
and she’s dancin’
and she’s dancin’ like she never did before
audience participation time
She said put your hands in the air
side to side like you just don’t care
everybody in the house on the party night
scream it back to me
Oggie Oggie Oggie
Oi! Oi! Oi!
Rock it rock it baby baby
rock it rock it more
rock it rock it baby baby
rock it rock it dance floor
5. 4. 3. 2. 1.
take this house to the – maximum
She’s a maniac, maniac on the floor
and she’s dancin’
and she’s dancin’ like she never did before
the grand finale
This story has come real far
four years later now here we are
M.A.N.
I.A.C.
come with me
to the place to be
