That Boy Could Dance

[Muldernscully]

I cannot extol the virtues of this song. It seems to be uncreative, monotonous, uninteresting, repetitive, and ultimately skippable.

If you like this song, why should I find this song to be interesting? What good is in there that I am overlooking? Please help me to understand if this song is really misunderstood and actually a comic gem.

I don't think you're missing anything. I don't think it's quite as bad as you said, but it's definitely the weakest song on that album.

[minnick27]

I actually really like this song. Dont know why though.

[Grom]

I'm with minnick on this one. It's good, but in a "It's not terribly funny, but damn is it catchy" way.

If I like this song, and you don't, it just means different things appeal to us. I like this song. I just think it's fun. I can't explain it, and I don't really feel I have to. So there.

As I've posted before, I think this song is kind of funny/poignant/triumph of the underdog in the same way as Avril Lavigne's Sk8er Boi (which isn't nearly as funny). Al has lots of funnier songs, but I find this one kind of touching.

[HappyGilmore]

I'd say it's the weakest of the album. But then again, I like Mr. Popeil and people tell me how bad that is, so whatever.

[Bruce the Duck]

This is another one my favorite and IMO most underrated Al songs. The music just rocks so much. I'd love to have an instrumental version.

It reminds me a lot of "Johnny B. Goode."

[DonnaNoble]

I like it...



It kinda funny how an stupid mean unnatractive guy winds up owning Montana, just because he could dance... I dunno...

[Muldernscully]

Thanks for your comments, everyone. I must take a closer listen to this song now.
