The Mia
You are crazy I fear nothin'1, I take you all here, one by one !
At the dawn of the 80's, I remember the parties
Where the athmosphere was hot and the guys went in
Stan Smith at their feet, with a cold stare
They scanned the room, the car coat rolled around the arm
Ray Bans atop the head, Tacchini tracksuit
For the classiest Nébuloni loafers
As soon as they'd put on Cameo Midnight Star
SOS Band Delegation or Shalamar
Everybody rose, circles would form
Dance contests everywhere just happened
I'm offering you a travel through time, via planet Marseilles
[Chorus]
I'm dancing the MIA
Hey DJ put on some Funk, so I can dance the MIA
I'm dancing the MIA
Turn on the Pioneer to the max, so we can dance the MIA
I'm dancing the MIA
Tonight my rings will shine, we're dancing the MIA
I'm dancing the MIA
Hey DJ put on some Funk, so I can dance the MIA
I'm dancing the MIA until the night slips
A brawl in the back and everybody scatters
We used to rant that it sucked, that it was lousy
The next saturday we were back, we were so bored
I still hear the girls laughs
Who watched the ballet of the Renault 12 on the parking
Inside, for them, it was less pretty
Oh cousin, you dance, or I mess you up ?
Here's how it went bad in a span of fifteen minutes
The brother talked back : oh how do you speak to my sister
Come with me, we're going to thread
Mano a mano I'm gonna smoke you behind the cypress
And everything got better or was settled with dance
One said son, you haven't got a chance
Hey girls, my shoes are shining, hop a spin and I twist
I destroy you, you get your coat, and I'm dancing the MIA
Like cars were the challenge
KUX 73 JM 120 my son
From the greatest thug to the biggest wimp
Hand on the wheel with the carpeting
Pioneer sun-visor on the back wind-shield
Dédé and Valérie written big : (I swear) On My Father !2
The good old time, driving the twelve on magic touch
We glued on a white stripe like Starsky and Hutch
I had a mullet, Eric too, Malek coco
Dreads like Marley Pascal was rasta, some affros
On François and Joe already at the dance beside them
Nobody reached their level.
We were dancing the MIA
[Chorus]
I'm dancing the MIA
Hey DJ put on some Funk, so I can dance the MIA
I'm dancing the MIA
Turn on the Pioneer to the max, so we can dance the MIA
I'm dancing the MIA
Tonight my rings will shine, we're dancing the MIA
I'm dancing the MIA
Hey DJ put on some Funk, so I can dance the MIA
[DJ Speech]
Live on Jackal Radio, in live duplex with the Starflash
Laserline Hatchin club it is right now 3, 2, 1, Dj :
Thank you everybody to be here again tonight
At the New starflash Lazerline Hatchin Club
We are here tonight for a night of musical happiness
With a great dance contest
Many super gifts for the lucky winners
There will be Marlboro T-shirts, Pioneer stickers, JB boxers briefs, and plushes
at the machines it is Michel, the light jockey it's Momo
Let's get on the tables, put your hands in the air
Come on here we go...
I'm dancing the mia (X2)
I'm dancing the MIA, No cheap junk
Open shirt, shiny gold bling
Slow gestures they took their time to tie their
Moves elaborated in the hood
It was too beautiful
One guy rocked it, everybody was shouting : ah yes kiddo3
The dance floor was one fire and all the eyes converged
The grudges would fade and laughs bursted
A lot of people said our parties were savage
And that you had to come in with a bat or a hatchet
Bullshit, that was the gossip of the envious
And whatever they say, we had a lot of fun
Today still, one can hear the girls say
"Hayya, IAM, they're dancing the MIA"
[Chorus]
I'm dancing the MIA
Hey DJ put on some Funk, so I can dance the MIA
I'm dancing the MIA
Turn on the Pioneer to the max, so we can dance the MIA
I'm dancing the MIA
Tonight my rings will shine, we're dancing the MIA
I'm dancing the MIA
Hey DJ put on some Funk, so I can dance the MIA
I'm dancing the MIA
