The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Do you feel like coming to dance?
Or make love baby
I know you want it
So come down and show me what you need
So, do you feel?
Feel like comin’
Do you want me to stand alone?
Take that flower from your hair
And come dancing in the rain with me
Do you feel
Feel like running
If you’re shy babe that’s ok
I know we can fly if we’re
Dancing in the rain you see
And when we dance
We can make love babe
When you move you can do no wrong
Show me how you feel
Come dance in the rain with me
There she goes
She’s like a sexy rose
And her body’s like a secret
That you gotta know
It’s were I wanna be
There she goes
She’s got a sexy pose
When she looks at me
And slowly takes off all her clothes
You move like you own the world
Why don’t you dance with me?
I see your smile oh baby
Sweet sex can drive me crazy
Oh love
Ooooh you wanna dance in the rain with me?
And when we bump and grind all night
And it feels just like candy
Oh doll
Do you feel like dancing in the rain with me?
There she goes
She’s like a sexy rose
And her body’s like a secret
That you gotta know
It’s were I wanna be
There she goes
She’s got a sexy pose
When she looks at me
And slowly takes off all her clothes
You move like you own the world
Why don’t you dance with me?
I see the girls dancing slowly
And the boys they moan like they’re so horny
Oh doll
Do you feel like dancing with me?
There she goes
She’s like a sexy rose
And her body’s like a secret
That you gotta know
It’s were I wanna be
There she goes
She’s got a sexy pose
When she looks at me
And slowly takes off all her clothes
You move like you own the world
Why don’t you dance with me?
There she goes
She’s like a sexy rose
And her body’s like a secret
That you gotta know
It’s were I wanna be
There she goes
She’s got a sexy pose
When she looks at me
And slowly takes off all her clothes
You move like you own the world
Why don’t you dance with me?
Do you wanna dance in the rain with me?
Do you wanna dance in the rain with me?
Or make love baby
I know you want it
So come down and show me what you need
So, do you feel?
Feel like comin’
Do you want me to stand alone?
Take that flower from your hair
And come dancing in the rain with me
Do you feel
Feel like running
If you’re shy babe that’s ok
I know we can fly if we’re
Dancing in the rain you see
And when we dance
We can make love babe
When you move you can do no wrong
Show me how you feel
Come dance in the rain with me
There she goes
She’s like a sexy rose
And her body’s like a secret
That you gotta know
It’s were I wanna be
There she goes
She’s got a sexy pose
When she looks at me
And slowly takes off all her clothes
You move like you own the world

Sweet sex can drive me crazy

Ooooh you wanna dance in the rain with me?

And slowly takes off all her clothes
You move like you own the world
Why don’t you dance with me?
Do you wanna dance in the rain with me?
Do you wanna dance in the rain with me?

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
