Closer, move in closer
Closer now than
Than ever before
I doubt it that you can survive
So far from your trenches and your friends
This is where competition starts and
And all that ends

I sense a lot of tension
Loose, loose
Pull out your arsenal
Dance

Step into this room and dance for me
Step into this room and dance for me
Come on, lady, dance for me
Come on, come on, dance for me
Step into this room and dance for me

By now we should know the music and the steps
Oh, me, I never asked, I never set you up
A little something for me?
A little something thrown back at me?

This is the floor, these are the rules
These are the moves
This is the room in which we dance
Close the door, say you will dance

Step into this room and dance for me
Step into this room and dance for me
Come on, lady, dance for me
Come on, come on, dance for me
Step into this room and dance for me
Step into this room and dance for me
Come on, come on, dance for me
Come on, come on, dance for me

Step into this room and dance for me
Step into this room and dance for me
Come on, lady, dance for me
Come on, come on, dance
Step into this room and dance for me
Come on, come on, dance
Step into this room and dance for me

I generally love this band, but this song is not their best.  A little creepy, yes.

With their Yes-No-Don't know of splitting and reunification they pulled every good trigger for proving the truth of "Everything is interesting the most if it's rare. Congratulations!

"Blue Velvet" was incredibly brutal and dispiriting the first time I watched it. The second time, I could see the brilliance of it...but I still wanted to torture Frank to death.

Well, except that you just did, as did the appropriately named Out To Lunch.

I will admit that I'm outvoted, at least here on RP, because I don't like Radiohead. It doesn't change the fact the every time I hear Thom Yorke's caterwauling I flip to RadioIO Jam for an hour or so for some actual rock music.

And I'm actually starting to wonder, as I hear the first 10 or seconds or so of each of their atonal dirges, if it isn't just "cool" to like Radiohead. To my ear, it can't really be about the music.

Just FYI, more than 300 out of 1300 people on Radio Paradise rated Karma Police a 10, and more than half of all raters rated that song at least a 9.  Since I don't believe in slagging people because of their ratings of songs, I won't compare the ratings for Tusk with those for Karma Police.
