Breakdance (Extended Remix) Lyrics

Well, what's this new feeling coming out of the streets
Everybody's talking 'bout it wherever they meet
Down by the corner, I keep getting the heat
Then my feet start moving to the rhythmic beat

Breakdancing, break out
Breakdancing, break out

They used to do the locomotion, do the jerk and the twist
But there just ain't never been nothing like this

Now popping and locking is a new way of talking
Things will work out for sure spinning 'out on the floor

Breakdancing, break out
Breakdancing, break out

Hearts are pumping, beat is thumping
Love the way you're looking tonight
Fever's rising, no surprises
We won't have the chance to fight

Breakdancing, break out
Breakdancing, break out

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

Although breakdancing was invented in the early 1970s, it didn’t really catch on in the public eye until the early 80s. Then there were movies like Wild Style, Flashdance, Breakin', Style Wars and Krush Groove.

This song comes right at the peak of all that, in 1983.
