Kinks, The - Don't Forget To Dance Lyrics
You look out of your window,
Into the night.
Could be rain, could be snow,
But it can't feel as cold as what you're feeling inside.
Or just left alone.
But that's no reason to just stop living.
That's no excuse to just give in to a sad and lonely heart.
Don't forget to dance, no, no, no,
Don't forget to smile.
Don't forget to dance, no, no, no,
Forget it for a while.
'Cause darling, darling,
And if this were a party
I'd really make sure the next one would be mine.
Yes, you with the broken heart.
Don't forget to dance, no, no, no,
Don't forget to smile.
Don't forget to dance, no, no, no,
Forget it for a while.
Don't forget to dance, no, no, no,
Forget it for a while.
You walk down the street
And all the young punks whistle at you.
A nice bit of old,
Just goes to show what you can achieve
With the right attitude.
As you pass them by
They whisper their remarks one to another,
And you give them the eye
Even that you know that you could be their mother.
You do the thing you love the best.
What separates you from the rest,
And what you love to do the most?
And when they ask me how you dance,
I say that you dance real close.
Don't forget to dance, no, no, no,
Don't forget to dance.

SHES A GOOD POLE DANCER. THE SONG IS GREAT
What a joy, I finally found this beautiful song, I had years of looking for it and today February 8 I found it. Thank you. Blessings.
❤❤❤👌
Don't forget to dance.... NEVER!!! 💖
I love the song. Btw, are you seeing my picture or another image?
@Blog Ex I love this song too... yes, I see a picture. It's a handsome young man... is this you??? 😊
Thanks. That's a great sound quality.
Another lovely bittersweet song from the great Kinks.
🤗😁
En Latinoamérica también la escuchamos!! The Best Kinks of rock 🎸
so emotional song.I love it.
"God save the Kinks" saw this on an overpass heading thru a tunnel.......how appropriate
Nice song, shame about the video!
My favorite Kinks song.
Was für ein tolles Lied! What a Wonderful song!
Great song .
Thank You
Mein Gott, was war das eine schöne Zeit. :-((
Warum gibt es heute nur den Einheitsbrei? Von Melodie und Musik keine Spur. Damals habe ich mir mindestens ein Platte pro Woche gekauft. Heute? Ich wüsste nicht was ich mir kaufen sollte. :-((
Fucking hell, I was at the lowest point in my life when one of my favorite bands made one of the saddest songs I'd ever heard. But 2 years later I met the love of my lifetime.
Beautiful 😍💕80's forever
Einfach traumhaft schön das Lied. So was gibt´s auch nicht mehr.
If you can't work out why she's dancing on a pole you need to listen to the lyrics more carefully
Could watch her dance all day...great dancer and video....thanx..
she is splendid!
Da werden Erinnerungen wach. Schöne Zeit war's,1983/'84
One of the best guitar intros.
Che bella canzone
The very best of
Absolute fantastic music and lyrics - I love it ! "Dance" can be understood in different ways, right now it gives me hope finding light at the end of the tunnel ..... Don`t forget to dance . . . don`t forget to live - even if it`s hard doing so - don`t forget to believe . . .
Best romantic song ever heard. Pure Passion.
absolutely wonderful song.
Klasse !!
A weird, and somewhat crappy video to one of the most beautiful songs recorded by The Kinks.
This is a truly beautiful recording. Brilliant guitar arrangement; fine, sensitive vocals from Ray Davis; and a wonderful lyric full of nostalgia.
Nice tune.....forgot about this one. Thanks for the upload. When music was something.
I'm loving it all pole dancing on a 1983 smash hit by The Kinks' "Don"t Forget To Dance,"
my 80's best song. I like The Kinks!
What a beautiful poem!
great song,, it brings me back,,
It's impressive the Kinks managed to keep refreshing their sound to stay relevant for so many years and through so many changes of taste. "You really got me" epitomizes the style of the 60s, and this epitomizes the style of the 80s.
Epic, magnificient!
nice song..video ruined by a pole dancing..get real.
Wow what a good song, music is such shit now
Great 80s song paired with beautiful 80s style pole dancing. (When it involved grace, skill and strength, before it became all about "twerking".)
Great video. Thanks for the memories. Well done. 👍
Paul Brochner Pole dancing always had the aim to irritate sexually. Nowadays it just became more popular as an exercise.
WOW WOW WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From a 73yo Aussie fan.
Great song, great video!
Pole dancing imagery is totally inappropriate to Ray Davies' gorgeous theme of the loneliness of a mature woman who can 'dance real close'.
Peter Gillies , i totally agree...as a woman have always loved this song, but the pole dancer while gorgeous is a totally sexist slant that the song doesn't have....wanted to share with a friend but not with that video....
remember the lads from the 60's absolutely fabulous, play the CD regularly, brings back my wife and mine great memories, best fans ever
80s lovely remory for me
beautiful
such beautiful song...lots of memories of that year 1983
beste nummer van de beste groep aller tijden!
vind ik zeer goed
like a tart green apple ready to be coated with red caramel.
so chouette that it burns (quema, quema!!!) c'est completement vrai! ciao!!
I'd pay $10,000 for that pole !!!!!!
thx for lol , i am that woman, now ( the older one, not the pole dancer)
Sharon Lamoureau Older is better!
thank you Kevin Gosson ,lol, nice
I can get hold of a scaffolding pole for only....let's see... 5 grand.
Larry IsenbergNo question, the Kinks' best song. Can't get enough. Another underrated 60's rock band.
Yes the kinks are very underrated and this is a lovely song
Ray Davies musician, singer, songwriter. The kinks got more recognition in the US than his own country. Shame on we Brits!!!
best 80s songs maybe but not a patch on there 60s and 70s songs
@jamie wesson True, but still a beautiful, heartfelt track and still 10 times better than anything around nowadays.
I like this song. Takes me back...
Fantastic !!!
The best Kinks song. Great Video too. "Makes me wish I was a pole."
Ein wunderschönes Lied und eine wunderschöne erotisch tanzende Frau
Great song. Tacky video.
The song is "Don't Forget to Dance"--not "Don't Forget to Be a Sex Worker".
Not that there's anything wrong with sex work.
she's dancing
Maybe not I don´t know, but pole dancer or stripper is not necessarily a sex worker.
Pole dancing and prostitution are not the same thing.
Matt Sweeney sex worker is not the same thing you can take classes for it just like you do for ballet
fabulous. like God incarnate. I can feel him.
ein großer song. wunderbar
Damn nice job on the video...
i love this song !!!!
the kids are hungry and there's no food in the house. Time to hit the ol' stripper pole.
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
beautiful.......
Great song !!! Love the Kinks. However I kept my daughter off the pole so I did my job lol.:o)
I will never forget to dance
..no one can take that from me. ..
Volksfest, Autoscooter....
Ein wunderschöner Song ... geht so richtig ins Herz ... wundervoll.
Wow, perfect match to the music.
Great song, not heard it for years.
They are prolific geniuses.
What nine tw@ts gave this the thumbs down... Must have been the Nazgul... Cast them into the pits of Mordor.
Alright fanboy keep your pants on. This is The Kinks not Dungeons & Dragons
heh heh heh heh!
Ein absoluter Klassiker ... Tolle Zeit
Don't Forget To Smile.... sooo schön....
Смех и улыбки продлевают вашу жизнь!.
@Леонид Безлепкин Das stimmt!
Grew up with The Kinks so flippin awesome to hear their music this is a song that will live on forever!!!
Lucky pole!
The Kinks - Don't Forget To Dance HD
Beautiful, bittersweet.... how do you make this music alive? Your biggest fan...
Pekna pisen,strasne dlouho jsem ji hledal,SUPER!!!!
classic. should be rereleased.I did email kinks at HQ
Considering that the pole dancer is Kate Moss, I don't know why some people are complaining about the dancer.
That isn't Kate Moss!!! KM is beautifully slim, this woman is fat (thighs)! Kate Moss pole dances in the White Stripe's, "I Just Don't Know What to Do With Myself".
1 of the best ever------
Really nice. Thanks. Enjoy it a lot.
I mean the song; although the pole dancer is ok too.
love love love this song a do
what a great song. Icky cookster
thanks, very nice. great song by the Kinks!
Always a bit trippy to 'discover' a song again after 31 years...aye, 'twas but a horny lad when this song came out and my girlfriend and I used to make love to it in the back of my '68 Camaro. Funny how music can take you back in a heartbeat.
I had a '58 FC Holden sedan.' Copy this in to google images if you want see a selection.
D Targa
Nice.... 😀
The Kinks created a lot of good music,Thanks for uploading.
The pole dancer is all wrong.... Video maker simply didn't understand this song.
I think the dancer adds to the song actually. But I see where you have a point. What does the song mean to you?
@Doug Troklus This tune, and Come Dancing are about his sister.
Just another one for the road!!! The KInks, great band!!!
Do you guys notice that one of the riffs sounds like it was taken from the Rolling Stones' "She's a Rainbow"? Awesome song that I couldn't get out of my head lately!!
Please are there other versions from Kinks or cover versions from other bands? Thanks :-)
