Canned Heat Lyrics
You know this boogie is for real.
I used to buy my faith in worship,
But then my chance to Heaven slipped.
I used to worry about the future
But then I throw my caution to the wind.
I had no reason to be care free
No no no, until I took a trip to the other side of town
Yeah yeah yeah, you know I heard that boogie rhythm
Hey- I had no choice but to get down down down down.
CHORUS
Dance, nothing left for me to do but dance,
Off these bad times I'm going through just dance
Got canned heat in my heals tonight baby
I feel the thunder see the lightning
I know this anger's heaven sent.
So I've got to hang out all my hang-ups
Because of the boogie I feel so hell bent
It's just an instant gut reaction, that I got
I know I never ever felt like this before,
I dont know what to do
But then thats nothing new,
Stuck between hell and high water
I need a cure to make it through.
Hey- dancing nothing left for me to do but dance
Off these bad times I'm going through just dance,
Hey got canned heat in my heals tonight baby
You know know know I'm gonna dance yeah
Off all the nasty things that people say.
You know know know I'm gonna dance yeah
Oh the nasty things that people say, but I'm gonna make it anyway...
Dance yeah! Got canned heat in my heels tonight baby!
You know I've got canned heat in my heels baby
You know this boogie is for real...
Only the wind can blow the answer
And she cries to me when I'm asleep
She says you know that you can go much faster
I know that peoples' talk can be so cheap
Yeah yeah
I got this voodoo child inveined on me
I'm gonna use my power to ascend
You know I got these running heels to use
Sometimes there's no way to lose
I was born to run
And built to last
You've never seen my feet
They can go so fast
Dance…yeah, hey!
Nothing left for me to do but
Dance
All these bad times I'm going through just
Dance…Hey

This song is about a guy who is under a lot of stress, but he just decides, "Fuck it, I'm just gonna dance and have some fun."
You know when you know what a song is about then you forget it,.. well thats what i have done lol. All i remember at the minute, yes this song is about loosing all your troubles and stress by danving but,... CANNED HEAT is a Jazz/acid/funk magazine or program in the USA (i read somewhere on some Jamiroquai site) theats where the canned heat comes from but yes it's a HAPPY SONG!!! I've always told people there is one song that puts a smile on my face and i forget everything and this is that song!! at present i'm in the biggest turmoil of my life!! past 2 months i've seen no way out but this song is played non stop and it's got me through as i can now see the light at the end of the tunnel. (people tell me i'm too much into my music oops, but hey! IT'S A DRUG!)
this song always gets my mood up when i'm down. i can't help but...DANCE :-) (no pun intended)
Dance is a metaphor for sex, you people, it's be done for ages in UK in many many songs, it's a writer's secret, writer 101: when you want to talk about sex you use the word dance or walk, obvious.
"I used to worry about the future But then I throw my caution to the wind..." After writing songs about war and greedy politicians and dying animals, ppl etc. there must have just come a point when it must have been getting jay down so much, and that nobody was paying much attention to his opinions, that he decided to just... dance.
I think that Jay is the most talented Funk singer, and he is such a pimp! So i think that dancing is just a way to get something off your mind, because your feet move naturally to a beat as with your wholee body. And Jamiroquai just doesn't get the fans that he should have because that band's music is the best dance music(Chours Style) in the world.
NAPPY D!!!!
Gosh! Frickin' Idiot! :D
Gosh! Frickin' Idiot! :D
i love it when napolean dances to this!!!
that man is so sexy ;)
As Spider6333 and kindacrazy alludes to, the highlight to the overrated film Napoleon Dynamite is when the eponymous character dances to this song. The only time I laughed...
Napoleon's been practicing some dance moves.
