Regina Spektor - Dance Anthem of the 80s (McCarren Park Pool)

***
Hear this song on Regina's new album, entitled "Far," releasing on June 23, 2009.
***

Regina Spektor singing Dance Anthem of the '80s with a beatboxer named Reggie. This is a newer version of the song with beatboxing and faster tempo...and it sounds amazing. @ McCarren Park Pool in Brooklyn, NY on August 15th, 2008.

If you're curious, here's a link to one of her earlier performances (2003) of this song with a slower tempo and no beatboxing:

You are so sweet
Dancing to that 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

(Her solo)

I am 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 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 just wanna watch each other sleep
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 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

They want to watch, to watch each other
They want to be watched, they want to be washed
They want to be touched, to touch each other
They want to sleep, they want to be slept
They want to watch, to watch each other
They want to be watched, they want to be washed
They want to be touched, to touch each other
They want to sleep, they want to be slept
They want to watch, to watch each other
They want to be watched, they want to be washed
They want to be touched, to touch each other
They want to sleep, they want to be slept
They want to watch, to watch each other
They want to watch, they want to be watched
To watch each other, to watch each other
To watch each other...

Watch each other
Watch each other
Watch each other
Watch each other
Watch each other
Watch each other...

what camera are you using? the sound quality is amazing!

[slicknick1986]

It's a Sony DSC-P200, just a regular point and shoot I've had for a while. The sound quality on its mic is very good for a tiny built-in, and I'm not sure why, lol.

Reggie Watts' beatboxing makes this video even more awesome. :)
