The "Hop Spot" is not only a play on words, but also a fantastic opener to heat up the Lindyhop dance floor!
Recorded 2014, Cologne, Maarwegstudio
lyrics
Tie your shoes, drop the blues,
dont go solo.
Press your pants, clap your hands
trust you mojo.
Do a spin, join the others at the hopspot.
Catch the swing, show the big dogs all that you got
Quick step left, quick step right,
throw your head back.
Grab your hips, purse your lips,
close the kiss gap.
Do a strech, how about a little loop turn.
Just like that, trombone solo till i return
(Trombone solo)
One, band has fun,
keep you moving, thats what we do.
Two, dancers who,
wont get tired, tell me are you?
Three, oclock and we
have all joined in this melting pot.
Fo(u)r, the art of lindyhop.
Gentle pals, gentle gals,
and the rhythm.
Night of night, dizzy lights,
fuzzy vision.
Move your feet, dont stop dancing till its daytime.
Dig that beat, everybody´s dancing so fine.
Now at last, with a blast,
this song closes
And the floor, wants some more,
as we noticed.
So prepare, make some noise to show you`re out there.
Grab some air, i say now and you say „oh yeah“.
Grab some air, i say now and you say „oh yeah“
Grab some air, i say now and you say „oh yeah“
Grab some air, i say now and you say ----wait-----oh yeah“
