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.
Brincos, jalones, codazos y empujones
De caca recorde los famosos pisotones
Ojos morados patada en los cojones
En el slam entre matudos y pelones
Santo tomas de los pelos parados
A narizasos su piel le dejaste madreado
Cayo el pedo, cayo de mi lado
Dance, dense denso todo empanizado
Faster than the rayo
We's the new freestylers a caballo
Bone-break-dance intenso let go
Dance, and dense, denso
Dance, dance, and dense, denso
Excuse me if your hear me getting too loud
It's that I get kind of crazy
When you get me round the crowd
Put a codo in you puto
You get knocked out
Come on sugar food
You're gonna end up getting plowed
Come on get rowdy, come on get bloody
Come on get sweaty, hit somebody
If you got the balls
Come and take your chances
And brace yourself 'cause it's some dense ass dancing
Faster than the rayo
We's the new freestylers a caballo
Bone-break-dance intenso let go
Dance, and dense, denso
Dance, dance, dance, dance
De caca recorde los famosos pisotones
Ojos morados patada en los cojones
En el slam entre matudos y pelones
Santo tomas de los pelos parados
A narizasos su piel le dejaste madreado
Cayo el pedo, cayo de mi lado
Dance, dense denso todo empanizado
Faster than the rayo
We's the new freestylers a caballo
Bone-break-dance intenso let go
Dance, and dense, denso
Dance, dance, and dense, denso
Excuse me if your hear me getting too loud
It's that I get kind of crazy
When you get me round the crowd
Put a codo in you puto
You get knocked out
Come on sugar food
You're gonna end up getting plowed
Come on get rowdy, come on get bloody
Come on get sweaty, hit somebody
If you got the balls
Come and take your chances
And brace yourself 'cause it's some dense ass dancing
Faster than the rayo
We's the new freestylers a caballo
Bone-break-dance intenso let go
Dance, and dense, denso
Dance, dance, dance, dance
