Week Forty-Nine: iTunes Finds - The Black Kids -"I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How to Dance with You" - Partie Traumatic

I'll be the first to admit that most of the selections for the iTunes' Free Single of the Week are rather disappointing, but the four songs that I have selected for this week were pleasant little surprises!!!

*****************************************************

First of all, I had no idea that Bernard Butler, one of the most amazing guitarists and a member of one of my all time favorite bands - Suede, produced this track. I also learned, from the ever-(somewhat)-trusty Wikipedia, about some of the lines that threw me a bit in this song. The lead singer, Reggie, says: "You are the girl, that I've been dreaming of, ever since I was a little girl..." So every time I heard that, I was like: "Huh? What?!?! But you're a dude?!?!?"

Apparently, the tale behind those lines goes a little bit like this:

"According to Reggie's sister and bandmate Ali Youngblood, this is based on an inside joke between the two of them where they would refer to wanting something 'Ever since I was a little girl.'"

This was offered through iTunes at some point in 2008, and it is a super-fun song! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!!!

You are the girl that I've been dreaming
of ever since I was a little girl.
You are the girl that I've been dreaming
of ever since I was a little girl.

One!
I'm biting my tongue.
Two!
He's kissin' on you.
Three!
I walk out, you see
One! Two! Three! Four!

Word's on the streets and it's on the news:
I'm not gonna teach him how to dance with you.
He's got two left feet and he bites my moves.
I'm not gonna teach him how to dance! dance! dance! dance!
The second I do, I know we're gonna be through.
I'm not gonna teach him how to dance with you.
He don't suspect a thing. I wish he'd get a clue.
I'm not gonna teach him how to dance! dance! dance! dance!

You are the girl that I've been dreaming
of ever since I was a little girl.
You are the girl that I've been dreaming
of ever since, ever since

One!
I'm biting my tongue.
Two!
He's kissin' on you.
Three!
Oh, why can't you see?
One! Two! Three! Four!

Word's on the streets and it's on the news:
I'm not gonna teach him how to dance with you.
He's got two left feet and he bites my moves.
I'm not gonna teach him how to dance! dance! dance! dance!
The second I do, I know we're gonna be through.
I'm not gonna teach him how to dance with you.
He don't suspect a thing. I wish he'd get a clue.
I'm not gonna teach him how to dance! dance! dance! dance!

One!
You're biting my tongue.
Two!
I'm kissin' on you.
Three!
Is he better than me?
One! Two! Three! Four!

Word's on the streets and it's on the news:
I'm not gonna teach him how to dance with you.
He's got two left feet and he bites my moves.
I'm not gonna teach him how to dance! dance! dance! dance!
