Rod Stewart - Twistin' The Night Away Lyrics






Let me tell you about a place, somewhere up in New York way
where the people are so gay, twistin' the night away
Here they have a lot of fun, puttin' trouble on the run
Oh man you'll find the old and young twistin' the night away

Here's a man in evening clothes, how he got here I don't know
but oh man, you ought to see him go, twistin' the night away
He's dancing with a chick in slacks, she's moving up and back
Oh man, there ain't nothing like twistin' the night away

Feel much better

Here's a fellow in blue jeans, who's dancing with an older queen
dolled up in her diamond rings, twistin' the night away
Man you ought to see her go, twistin' to the rock and roll
Here you'll find the young and the old twistin' the night away

They're twistin', twistin', everybody's doing great
They're twistin' man, twistin', they're twistin' the night away
Twistin', you know they're twistin', twistin' the night away
They're twistin', twistin', man twistin' the night away

Here they have a lot of fun, puttin' trouble on the run
Oh man you'll find young and the old twistin' the night away
Here's a man in evening clothes, how he got here I don't know
I don't know but man you ought to see him go
Twistin' the night away

  3. b.... p....

    This sounds better at speed 1.25 :)

  4. G.... R....

    Love Rod!

  5. L.... H....

    I gonna get so much hate for saying this, but I prefer this version over the original.

  6. P.... Q....

    People are so gay, huh? :))))

  7. R.... T....

    Inner Space

  8. R.... J....

    Anyone know where I can find this version?

  9. s.... ....

    This isn't his best song ever. I liked the version off "Never a dull moment"

  10. b.... ....

    "JACK PUTTER TO THE RESCUE!"

  11. J.... S....

    Innerspace brought me here too

  12. j.... p....

    I like Martin Short a lot :3
    <3 80's !!!!

  13. l.... ....

    I always said that Rod and Dudley Moore are lookalikes.

  14. R.... ....

    ♥♥♥

  15. R.... C....

    Chubby Checker would jump right out of 1960 if he ever heard this cover.

  16. H.... ....

    maybe he was Rod in disguise, and on vacation. LOL! :)

  17. H.... ....

    Great movie Innerspace! Hilarious line where Martin says "Help me doctor I'm possessed"! LOL! What a fun song! Rod and Martin must have had fun doing the video together. Wonder why they didn't get Dan and Meg in it too?

  18. J.... I....

    I believe the word Gai in French have the same meaning.

  19. A.... R....

    I agree.

  20. L.... S....

    The dictionary definition of "gay" is lighthearted and carefree, which is what he means In the song. Now it is commonly used in defining homosexual men (sometimes women). I searched this song out from watching Innerspace, as it was featured in Jack's drunk moment, and at the end of the movie.

  21. T.... ....

    I don't think I saw anyone actually doing the twist in that clip.

  22. W.... ....

    The word gay meant happy many years before the fruits ruined it. They need to make up another word to describe them.

  23. W.... ....

    There was a guy who worked at a clothing store at the Bristol Mall in Bristol Va. in the 80's. This dude looked like Rods twin brother. Same hair cut and all. We called him Rod Stewart.

  24. T.... ....

    gay means happy as well

  25. W.... V....

    I'm possessed!!!

  26. l.... ....

    Rod Stewart ando Dudley Moore... in some ways, they were look alikes.

  27. L.... w....

    LOVE SAM COOKE BUT ROD REALLY KICKS IT UP.

  28. J.... L....

    Rod Stewart must've got Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" leather tuxedo from a garage sale for his video.

  29. b.... ....

    yes!!!! i twist!!!!

  30. N.... A....

    I wanted to get a copy of this version in mp3 for my iPhone - can only find the older versions :( This one has so much more energy! The soundtrack cost is WAY out there (over $50Cnd) ... guess I'll have to keep my enjoyment to YouTube & Sam Cooke!

  31. R.... ....

    one of the most sexiest musicians ever! n oh what a voice!

  32. R.... R....

    WHAT A GREAT FUCKIN SONG IS THIS? OOH YEAH!!!!!

  33. M.... ....

    great video, I love that he had martin short in it, that made it funny and great !!!!!

  34. d.... ....

    open a new window,copy the link from the you tube video, on the new window type in youtube to mp3 and find a program that does that,paste the link on the program download the song, it should go to your windows media player, burn it to a cd and your done, i know pain in the butt but if you want it bad enough youll do it, i do it all the time, theres a lot of awesome songs on youtube that are certain versions of the originals that you will never find on a cd

  35. J.... C....

    I cant have a drink unless you have a drink! Get the picture!!

  36. f.... ....

    Just a great song and Rod does a great version of it.

  37. R.... C....

    the song played at the end credits of Innerspace!!

  38. E.... ....

    Thanks Rod, for remember me my early years in the 80's. Your voice is the british pop!

  39. t.... ....

    66 67 hell i married a older dude, wishin he was rod stewart!!!! wow. go rod!!!

  40. D.... F....

    rod stewart is a huge sam cooke fan

  41. P.... P....

    This proves that whoever sing this song, or whose skin's color is whatever, people are all so gay.

  42. M.... B....

    I love this version :-)

  43. S.... ....

    Rod was in his early forties at this point.

  44. K.... ....

    I know! i can't find it anywhere. CD, download.... It's driving , me mad!!

  45. M.... H....

    Just watched Innerspace on DVD...love the movie & this song!!!!!!!!!

  49. T.... ....

    INNERSPACE! yes! loved that movie!

  50. D.... S....

    a very good song which we didn't hear much in the radio. Why??? well, simply because the 80's were full of great songs.... couldn't play them all !

  51. P.... P....

    MARTIN SHORT!!!! DENNIS Quaid!!!!Meg Ryan!!!!
    me encanta "viaje Insolito"
    por esa pelicula me encanta Rod Stewart

  52. k.... ....

    Just saw the movie for the first time in years. I forgot how funny Innerspace was, and how damn sexy meg ryan was.

  53. P.... B....

    @Butterfly1Blue 42 or 43 when he made this video

  54. t.... ....

    "innerspace", one of the most underrated movies of the 1980s... and of all-time. it's really funny.

  55. J.... S....

    Hello I saw Rod in Budapest great show check out europeantourvideos com

  56. p.... ....

    imho, his first version of this was much stronger. I believe it was on Never A Dull Moment.

  57. T.... ....

    13 people prefer the original by Sam Cooke.
    I can't say if I prefer one over the other.
    Personally, I'm not a big fan of remakes, it causes people to forget who the original singer was.
    However, as long as they don't completely butcher the original, I say let the music play on.

  58. A.... R....

    HAPPY 67TH BIRTHDAY ROD!

  59. m.... ....

    HOLA ALGUIEN ME PUEDE DECIR COMO SE LLAMA EL ACTOR QUE ES COMICO......DE TANTAS PELICULAS......LOS DOS GROSOS!!!

  60. B.... ....

    @tsjrlover I hear ya! What a GREAT version and a real honour to the late great Sam Cooke, dang the 80's were a good fun time, what happened...?

  61. h.... ....

    LOVE THIS SONG!

  62. H.... H....

    i love this song..

  63. A.... C....

  64. c.... ....

  65. M.... ....

    Reminds of Innerspace

  66. n.... ....

    Twisting, Twisting, Twisting The Night Away ♫

  67. T.... T....

    @blueballsredhair The reason is it was the THEME SONG for the movie InnerSpace with Martin Short,
    and it was released to PROMOTE the MOVIE! I personally like both Rod's and the Faces versions equally. IMHO

  68. W.... ....

    @blueballsredhair
    I think it's kinda obvious why this guy's got "blue balls"....

  69. s.... a....

    Thanks mate. Nice remembering of 80s movie Innerspace.....

  70. J.... ....

    Martin Short is such a great actor!

  71. T.... T....

    Is this avalable on any album? i realllllly want to get hold of this version!

  72. V.... S....

    @blueballsredhair I think was the version used at the end of the movie Inner Space with Martin Short (which you can obviously see in this video). While I agree re the music track, I reckon Rods vocal on this is a little better than his first attempt.

  73. V.... S....

    @blueballsredhair I think was the version used at the end of the movie Inner space with Martin Short. While I agree re the music track, I reckon Rods vocal on this is a little better than his first attempt.

  74. N.... ....

    Love it! *****

  75. K.... ....

    I love this song...it's a LOT of fun! :-)

  76. p.... ....

    Love Rod! Great Song!

  77. C.... M....

    @blueballsredhair I saw Rod last night in Philly so I looked this up. I love this song. I couldn't agree with you more.. Who the hell is backing him on this song? Partridge Family!!! This is a washed out pop version. Ronnie Wood smokes on the orginal version. This verison sucks. But still love ya Rod...Great show last night.

  78. C.... ....

    sam cookes was much better.

  79. A.... R....

    @tsjrlover - he wouldn't have been 66 when he made this promo video but he does look and move very good for his age.

  80. t.... ....

    I hope I look half this good when I turn 66. Love this song too!!!

  81. J.... ....

    @blueballsredhair Agreed pal. An offence to the original Rod version.

  82. T.... T....

    @noms3 Read my post. It says right there "original cover." I know it's a Sam Cooke song.

  83. T.... T....

    @GrisGrisOnUrDoorStep Of course I know that. I meant the original cover version by Faces. This is absolutely terrible.

  84. i.... ....

    Not as good as the Sam Cooke version but Sam Cooke was AMAZING

    Still a decent cover

  85. K.... ....

    Jack Putter to the rescue

  86. A.... D....

    @blueballsredhair Actually Sam Cooke did the original.......

  87. F.... ....

    i don't like the guitar in this song & it can't beat original

  88. A.... R....

    @happymeal159 - I guess the answer as to "Why the second cover" lies with copyright and recording issues plus the need to produce a 'poppy' video to keep the record label happy....PS Ron Wood's guitar work on Faces and early Rod albums is amazing - no wonder Micky Jagger dangled a Rolling Stone medal in his face.

  89. A.... R....

    HAPPY 66TH BIRTHDAY ROD - 10 JANUARY

  90. r.... ....

    "That was the cowboy!!!" JACK PUTTER TO THE RESCUE!!!!!"

  91. C.... ....

    The 1972 version was nice but this 80s version is my favorite. He recorded it for the movie "Innerspace" and included it in his Storyteller album.

  92. A.... R....

    @blueballsredhair - maybe you could try that comment again without the bad language !

  93. T.... T....

    what the fuck is this? when and why did stewart record a shittier version of his original cover? i don't get it, the original with ronnie wood was fucking bad ass, this is some ear raping garbage.

  94. B.... M....

    Not to offend anyone here but,this version is weak compared to the one off "Never a Dull Moment".That version had Ron Wood and The Faces and they just tore it up.This video lacks that same spirit.

  95. V.... K....

    More than excellent. More than cool. I'll be twistting for night and day away. Anyway... Love Rod!

  96. R.... G....

    soz but this sucks sam cooke forever although i love the bring it on home you send me live thats awesome rod stewart best hes ever done i think

  97. C.... ....

    Holy shit! Was that Michelle Johnson as Martin Short's movie date??

  98. p.... ....

    Great Song

  99. L.... ....

    I like Sam Cooke's better.
    But Rod has a very nice voice!

  100. A.... R....

    @nadenka64 - your comment made me laugh.
