FEEL THE BEAT (Krakow) Can you feel the rhythm? Can you feel the beat? Can you do that funky dance? And move your boogie-ing feet? Can you shake your body, shake it down to the ground? Can you twist all night until the beat is what you found? Rock all night, rock all day Ya never stop shaking until I say You will twist all year, dance your feet Well all I wanna know is Can you Feel The Beat? I know that you can Can you Feel The Beat? Dance all the time you can You can dance all the time you want When I say dance you dance ‘Cause that’s how I was taught Yeah boogie all day, you can twist all night Pretty soon your dancing will be outta sight Rock all night, rock all day Ya never stop shaking until I say You will twist all year, you’ll be dancing your feet But all I wanna know is Can you Feel The Beat? I know that you can Can you Feel The Beat? I know that you can Can you Feel The Beat? Well I know you can Can you Feel The Beat? Feel it Now! Shake your body (ooh la la la) At the party (ooh la la la) Shake your body, shake it down to the ground Twist all night till the beat is what you found Feel it Feel it Feel it Feel it Feel it Feel it Feel it Feel it Rock all night, rock all day Ya never stop shaking until I say You will twist all year, you’ll be dancing your feet But all I wanna know is Can you Feel The Beat? I know that you can Can you Feel The Beat? I know that you can Can you Feel The Beat? I know that you can Can you Feel The Beat? Well I know you can Can you Feel The Beat?

about

It was good to be 10 years old in 1987.

Your academic life revolved around dioramas, book reports, & school plays.

Your social life revolved around WWF, Alyssa Milano, & “The Princess Bride.”

But the rest of your life – the important part – revolved around music.

Yes there was “Bad,” “Hysteria,” “Sign O’ The Times,” “Kick,” & “The Joshua Tree.”

But I’m talking “Whitney,” “Tiffany,” & “Jody Watley.”

Lisa Lisa, Stacey Q, Gloria Estefan, & Samantha Fox.

Club Nouveau, Pretty Poison, Atlantic Starr, & T’Pau.

“Don’t Disturb This Groove,” “I Heard A Rumour,” “Rocket 2 U,” & “Let Me Be The One.”

Calling the number on the back of the “Say It Again” single to learn more about Jermaine Stewart.

Knowing Madonna used to be the drummer of The Breakfast Club.

Debating who was better: Pet Shop Boys or New Order.

Being confused why the album was called “Heaven On Earth” when the song was called “Heaven Is A Place On Earth.”

Lip-singing “Push It,” air-guitaring “La Bamba,” air-bass-ing “Lessons In Love,” air-synthesizing “Skeletons,” air-drumming “Land Of Confusion,” & air-sax-ing “Hourglass.”

Not being able to play an instrument but writing dozens of songs with Intros, Verses, Pre-Choruses, Choruses, Solos, Bridges, Breakdowns, Solos, Double Choruses, Outros, & Ad-libs over Fade-Outs.

Lunchtimes when you and your friends would sing those songs into little tape players & talent shows where you’d go onstage and awkwardly rap those songs. A cappella.

Bumping your head on the bedroom closet trying to do a spin like Terence Trent D’Arby did in ‘If You Let Me Stay.”

Knowing every word to every song at every dance-party and losing your shit when “Breakout” & “Rock Steady” came on.

Fantasizing about slow-dancing to “Foolish Beat,” fast-dancing to “Tell It To My Heart,” & dirty dancing to “Do You Love Me?”

Not having anyone to dance with.

Being overweight, having severe allergies, and longing to be a hybrid of George Michael & Janet Jackson. Having “Faith” & being in “Control”.

And then - 32 years later - tapping into your inner 10-year old.

Recording the songs you and your friends wrote way back when & making them sound the way you think they would have sounded like had you all been capable of making music way back then.

Pretending you’re on MTV.

And having fun.

I’m talkin’ you.

Feel The Beat,
Jesse
