Look - I am the beat 1981

The Look - I am the beat 1981

Girls are dancing all around them just for me
And the party wouldn't swing if not for me
I've made you hearts jump, I've caused a heat
I'm in demand I am the beat

I've turned a girl into a heaving senseless wreck
I've made the captain of a ship dance off his deck
I've made the old man jump to his feet
I'm in demand I am the beat

All round the world the people know my name
In heaven and hell they know me too
Across the world the people know me now
I am the beat and I know you, yes you

You always listen to me on your radio
I'll bet your buddy all he really needs to know
And who kept the lawman down on the street
I'm in demand I am the beat

All round the world the people know my name
In heaven and hell they know me too
Across the world the people know me now
I am the beat and I know you, you

When the martian came to earth I made him dance
And Mr. Crooper had to thank me for his chance
And who made the zombies all tap their feet
I'm in demand
I'm in demand
I am the beat

I'm in demand
I'm in demand
I am the beat

@keef71 Early 80s also had the overflow from the 70s too, in a lot of ways, the early 80s was a great time.

1980!!

[keef71]

early 80s does not automatically mean mod, ska or new romantic, there was the wonderful catch-all of 'new wave'. who cares when there was tunes like this around??????????????
