Fan Vid:Taxi Dancer

I Own No Copy Right On Song Or Pic...Just Fan Made Video.No Infringment intended.

Written by John Mellencamp

From Alblum John Cougar 1979

Well she started out, just to be a dancer
Gonna make her livin' dancin'
In the Broadway shows
So she hitchhiked cross the country
From Pasaroba to the Big Red Apple
Where your dreams are made
Your debts must be paid on time
Well she wasn't used to livin' in the city
So she took a job cleanin' up as a maid
At the Grammercy Park Hotel
And all her auditions
They didn't turn out so pretty
So she took a job dancin'
At the bar down the street as well
*I'll hold you close, Taxi Dancer
And I'll listen to how your outgrew your dreams
How they faded away
I'll hold you close, Taxi Dancer
We can pretend this floor is the Broadway stage
Well I don't know how long or how far
Her fortune did take her
But I heard she sits alone drunk
In a bar downtown on 42nd Street
And sometimes an old Butch
Will slip a quarter into the jukebox
And she'll stagger to the bar
And dance with that girl for free
(*Repeat Chorus)
Oh the stage, baby

theres a big difference between cougar and mellencamp it just seems after he started goin with his real last name his style changed..just my take on things

[lamarridley2]

@motleycrue24 I agree his style has changed with his name but he is still good.

[onlyvz]

gr8 song you should have made a full vid..oh well 5 stars

[lamarridley2]

I may redo it to adda desent vid.

[lamarridley2]

@onlyvz thank you

[motleycrue24]

@bearhugger im aware of that...his sound still changed once he went under mellencamp

[bearhugger]

@motleycrue24 his real name is Mellencamp. He was forced to use a stage name and when he became famous he changed it.

@lamarridley2 from a bruce springsteen style singer(songwriter) and now a great artist. i love this song!!! i hold you close

[aliasdyln33]

This song is a mastery of musical honesty, passion and performance. It was on the original recording and it will always be - and you gotta love the back-up singers in support. Real life expressed in music . . . wouldn't trade it for anything.

[danjaskyl]

love this song , takes me back...no one like him

[johnnieknown]

@nobanisnoob yep, had it as MY VERY FIRST PIECE OF VINYL!!

[tonymellen]

i, for one, support his going to his real last name

[TheTreewolfe]

My all time favorite. Cougar was excellent! Raw and undirected.

[strossfletcher]

love this song

[maxwellmaxter]

they put out greatest hits from the popular view. there are many that never made radio by john and many others, for example styx, castle walls. the best song they ever did. same goes for elvis costello, little triggers is hard to find. this song is a secret classic
