Spektor, Regina - Dance Anthem Of The 80s Lyrics
You...are...so...sweet...
Dan...cing...to the...beat
There's a meat market down the street
The boys and the girls watch each other eat
Dancing and moving to that beat, that beat
There's a meat market down the street
The boys and the girls watch each other eat
The boys and the girls watch each other eat
When they really just wanna watch each other
Sleeeeeleeeleeeeep
They want to watch
To watch each other
Sleep, sleep, sleep
Sleeeeeleeeleeeeep
To watch each other
Sleep, sleep, sleep
You. Are. So. Sweet.
Once more
You. Are. So. Sweet.
Solo
[Instrumental break]
I went walking
Through the city
Like a drunk but not
With my slip
Shown a little
Like a drunk but not
And I am
One of your people
But the cars don't stop
And I am
One of your people
But the cars don't stop
It's been a long time since before I've been touched
Now I'm getting touched all the time
And it's only a matter of whom
And it's only a matter of when
An addiction to hands and feet
There's a meat market down the street
The boys and girls watch each other eat
When they really wanna watch each other sleep [x2]
Sleeeeeleeeleeeeep
They want to watch
To watch each other
Sleep, sleep, sleep
Sleeeeeleeeleeeeep
They want to watch
To watch each other
Sleep, sleep, sleep
They want to watch
To watch each other
Sleep, sleep, sleep [x2]

Son temas feos. Pero los necesitás para afinar el oído. Aguante Regina
I like Regina, but this Song & Vid is super top! ... What? How ever says super top?! ;) yes me! :) Greetings from fil of WeinHara.
Regina... That meat market... Let it be close to my street. Because although I tend to be assumed to be a creep... I'd LOVE to meet...
You're so awesome!!!
Блаженство. Это какая-то фантастика!)
2:01 is when it gets deep
Awesome
You...are...so sweet.
The way the layers of the melody build upon each other is brilliant.
The comments in every video of hers is just a bunch of people giving their interpretation of the lyrics. Like no comment on the music or how good it is. It’s just a bunch of “I think this song is talking about...” like pls stop
Why can’t I marry you
I used to listen to this song non-stop
God is a woman and she's Regina Spektor.
It looks like she is in Pittsburgh PA I love all her songs
I adore this song
is this the same house in Juno. lol
2018 for Regina anyone? ❤️
2019 too
i fucking love this song so much 😍
Once this song gets to singing "I am walking through the city like a drunk but not"... Regina is describing her at-first slow approach turning into a rapid convergence for this amazing, beautiful, creative, talented, intelligent woman about to be making her choice of whom to live her life with. Wow talk about wishing one was back there, then! &&
God I so just love Regina Spektor music! This song starts so simple and it builds up to such a fine song / could listen to it 4ever. &&
I feel so stupid.. I can almost never under stand her messages that she writes in her songs , but either way they're great! I am a but young so...
You are my jijust jojobas I iiii
I never thought I'd ever get over early Tori, but here we are...

Is the intro riff that she used not from another song or a video game, could swear I’ve heard it before somewhere

La primera vez que vi y escuché ésto quedé
en shock como una semana. Jajajajajajajaja
I am so fucking sad but this song makes me smile every Time. Would love to see her Live.
Nice song..
Did anyone work out what this song is about?
The song is about the Casual Sex "movement" of the 1980's in the United States.
Also see: "Glory of the 80's" by Tori Amos.
Exactly like its title: song is about all the 20s-ish yr olds who went to clubs to meet/dance/more(?) with other people. Esp. prevalent in the 1980s. &&
Darthvader says Rico Swavey Urxoxo.
Why is YouTube showing only my views 🤔
Feels like, this song was made for fun.
And this is a rare and great thing. :)
This is such a profound song. Keeping the quirkiness (and pretty much all her beautiful grace) aside, this song is such a sad commentary on all of us and our society. <3 Thank you Regina.
An addiction to hands and feet
There's a meat market down the street
The boys and girls watch each other eat
When they really wanna watch each other sleep
being drunk like a drunk but not
Could she be any more irritating?
I love how simple and cool this video is
Freaken can’t NOT love her and her sweet sweet voice. Cocaine for the ears. Sing on Regina. Thank you for ur music.
You are so sweet
Dancing to the beat
There's a meat market down the street
The boys and the girls watch each other eat
You are so sweet, so sweet
Dancing and moving to that beat, that beat
There's a meat market down the street
The boys and girls watch each other eat
The boys and the girls watch each other eat
When they really just wanna watch each other
Sleep
They want to watch, to watch each other
Sleep, sleep sleep
Sleep
They want to watch, to watch each other
Sleep, sleep, sleep
You are so sweet
You are so sweet
I'm walking through the city
Like a drunk, but not
With my slip showing a little
Like a drunk, but not
And I am one of your people
But the cars don't stop
And I am one of your people
But the cars don't stop
And it's…
This music video needs to be put into the YouTube vault for future generations to appreciate
I always took the line "to want to watch each other sleep sleep sleep" to be more like they are watching each other eat like it's a first date but what they really want is to move faster and be closer and have been with them all night and wake up to them in the morning watching them sleep, waiting for them to wake up too. I always took everything else literally, like an actual meat market, and the part at 2:03 to not be anything more than introspection. I kind of prefer my interpretation though, even if its not very thought through.
I love the song, and love Regina. But the video sucks.
This was my favorite song.
Remember Us - Fillmed
This song makes me want to be happy and improve my life. She is an inspirational singer.
The 80s... Wow... That was an intresting time. I love this song, I like how it isn't innappropriate on the surface, but you would actually have to THINK about the icky meaning.
"They want to watch, to watch each other, sleep, sleep, sleep sleep."
I'd rather be creepy than a creep, Regina. :)
Esta canción también me recuerda a mi esposa Ksenia cuando estaba bien peda la puta, te amo culera 💕💕
Jajajajajajajajajajajajajaja
This is my dog's favorite song ♡
lol how do you know this?
Video published in 2009 about the 80's,copyrighted in 2012
Okay then
I loooove this lady, ever since high school
i love how you can see the shadows change throughout the video
This is random
Ahhh She's such a cutie!
Forever the best
I'm a person who really does NOT like most 80s culture, and I'm sad to say this is Regina at her worst. And I really don't want to say that, because she's usually such an amazing artist. But everyone has their flaws.
j adore
After 2 minutes, it gets real dark. She's so cryptic. She embellishes pain and deeper issues with frolic and playful lyrics, but there's often dark undertones.
Yes.
This comment is everything.
OMG I FELL IN LOVE WITH THIS SONG AND HER <3 <3 <3
2:03
This woman is a genius!!!
At this point the melody gets so fucking intense. its so moving and beautiful! Never fails to give me the feels.
yes, you are listening to a fun beat and then this part hits you. it changes your thoughts and your mood and then the beat hits you. and you are like "omg what are you doing to me?".
Check out "Human of the Year"... The bridge hits me like a ton of bricks every time I listen to it...
Couldn't agree more. This whole portion of the song (bridge?) has been magical to me for the last ten years.
nice song
Ster anyone? o:
You are so sweet

Lol how long did this take you? Or did you just copy/paste it?
The weirdiest music video that I watch.
when you watch this in full screen it feels like shes singing to you
i remember when this first came out i was blown away
в России так в 80 не было. это у вас там сладкие
I bet hipsters at Ivy Leagues and small lib art colleges love this
or, you know
fans of her music
"Or both." I, a fan of her music and student at a small lib art college says. :P
You have no idea.
I was one of those hipsters at an Ivy League and I remember the suicidal thoughts that were going on in my head back when I listened to Regina Spektor.
her music brings back memories, 10 yrs ago my kids were small n I would always play her music while doing school projects......
Vic Al awe
Great song, very cute. I have an interpretation for it that makes it even more endearing.
First, remember that Ms. Spektor was born in 1980. She would have been in the single-digit ages through most of the '80s. So consider this song is told from the perspective of a creative little girl trying to write a cool, mature pop song. She has overheard adults talking about how a local club is a "meat market". When she asked about what that meant, she was told that it was a place where men and women go to meet each other for romantic reasons. She imagines a place where people can buy meat and eat it, while trying to hook up with the opposite sex. She knows that men and women want to sleep with each other, but doesn't get the details...so she writes a line about boys and girls going to a meat market to watch each other eat, when in reality they want to watch each other sleep.
that's so interesting, Regina would be proud :,)
EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW poor Regina
R-Bizzle Chica I think this might be what the real story behing the song is....maybe some parts different but mostly same.
This is an awesome song. And she is totally captivating. I want more Regina.
Why the hell is this song called dance anthem of the 80's? Makes no sense
ChinchillaInTheHeat I guess the context of the lyrics, but I think so
How can someone look so beautiful while doing that infront of a camera...
i thought the tree at the beginning was weed. i wish it were weed..
I love Regina's music! One of the few acoustic artists (some of her music) that can make me hang between sleep and being awake. Not too noisy. Not boring. Yeah, could be in love. Sigh. Ease my worried mind Regina!
she's so adorable
Eres adorable Regina. Cuanta espontaneidad,frescura y naturaleza hay en ti.
How does one even write songs like this? Like. Wow. I've never heard any other artist like this.
Crystal143 Try Vampire Weekend. Closest I know, or DramtiX.
Only REGINA! 😉
Try Emily Haines.You'll be surprised
trop belle chanson les autres j aime pas du tout mes pas du tout
I surprisingly really like the editing. She's so cute and I'm obsessed.
I wish there was another.
Wow sounds just like this Adi Bity's song (like if you listen to both songs at 2028 but only if you read this comment on December)
