I think this started as a song about music itself.... Joe has a tough time of it during the day. More about that in the next paragraph. Music is his friend. He always wants it around. So at night they dance. He loves it. They have energy, but the songs he loves are not always sympathetic to the plight of the writer. Who wants something that's not upbeat? Classic or Timeless music is hard to write. Popular tunes are not so difficult. Rhyme implies bounce, in a way....
Write one that's popular. Listen to what's playing (I have a Demo for you), or what they are asking you to play, or what they are asking you to produce or write.... Interview? its about your hits. The highs and lows of it all can be exhausting.
So who cares who is in charge (tired of DJ's) and yes the old days were better when a Hop could end with a slow dance. But no more. So "play us a slow song" is about writing one that is good enough to bring back the good old days. Or at least really help you remember them.

And it does a hell of a job.
