| Wang Chung – Dance Hall Days Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| This song seems like it's about my favorite book of all time, Lolita by Vladimir Nabakov. It's a book about a man who enters into a horrible and hypnotizing relationship with a 12 year old girl. It's the most mesmerizing prose I've ever read. However, all the lyrics seem to point to this. Humbert loves her childish nature, hence the hand stand. He mentions her "monkey feet" numerous times. The "pull her close and there there there" line matches up with Humbert using her sorrow at her mother's death to comfort/seduce little Lolita. In order to keep Lolita from running away or talking to someone on their endless road trip across America, Humbert Humbert "plays upon her darkest fears". I could go a bit deeper, but I think I made my point. | |
