DJ Bobo – Somebody dance with me

DJ Bobo se dio a conocer al público en noviembre de 1992 con esta canción, “Somebody dance with me”, consiguiendo ser un claro referente de la música Eurodance de los 90. Posteriormente siguió cosechando grandes éxitos en la década posterior, como con su sencillo “Chihuahua” (2002) o hasta el día de hoy con “Ole, Ole” (2008) o Superstar (2010), pasando por representar a Suiza en 2007 con «Vampires are alive.».

El nombre real de DJ Bobo es Peter René Baumann, y es un productor musical suizo, compositor de letras, bailarín y cantante suizo que ha cosechado gran éxito en su país natal y muchos europeos como Alemania. De hecho creo que es el cantante más productivo de su país, habiendo conseguido 250 discos de Oro, 28 de Platino y un disco de Diamante.

“Somebody dance with me” llegó a ser número uno en China, Suecia o en Suiza (en Marzo de 1993) y lo podemos encontrar en su disco de 1993, “Dance with me”. En la canción podemos apreciar que se empleó una muestra de la canción «Somebody’s Watching Me» de Rockwell.

La vocalista se llama Emel Aykanat y es una cantante y músico suiza de padres turcos, guapísima y de talentosa voz que emprendió posteriormente una carrera en solitario.

Es que me parto viendo las pintas de principios de los 90, con esas camisetas bacalaeras y esos pelacos. ¿Y qué me decís de los bailarines y ese ventilador al fondo para darle un aire industrial? ^_^

Dj Bobo – Somebody dance with me (letra)

I’m back again on a higher stage
Listen to the party beat and get in range
cause you know when I flow and I show you so
Which way is better which way you got to go
To make a fun house party all night
You gotta check this out yo da ya di
It’s a party over there with glamour and glares
So dance and move you, pump that body

Move your body up and down
Side to side – it’s party time
Yeah that’s right were dancing tonight
To the sun is coming up and the sky is all bright
Were coming to the end like your understand
That I’m a party man do the best I can
To make you laugh again, now I’m out of the scene
Aaaah

I’ve got this feeling
Somebody dance with me, somebody dance with me
I’ve got this feeling
Somebody dance with me, somebody dance with me

Another time another place
Another rhyme done for every race
In your case i’m getting rough
I’m not going to stop until you get enough
‘Cause you groove back and bobo is back
And you see it yourself it’s like a heartattack
My rhymes, combination, infiltration situation all over the nation

Like round and round upside down
Living my life till your feet are on the ground
Then put your hands up in the air
And waving like you just don’t care
And if you’re ready to rock then rock with me
Somebody say oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Auuu

I’ve got this feeling
Somebody dance with me, somebody dance with me
I’ve got this feeling
Somebody dance with me, somebody dance with me

Now it’s just the time I think you with it
So make some room and space just to hit it
Move, move that body
A didely didely dae yeah we make the party
To the B to the O to the B to the O
Wanna rock your body wanna rock your soul
When I never ever said I do it better
I just know the time – yes I’m clever

The way you had expected
We’re having for the end
Party that was another story
For the party man and his clan
So they will come again
Show and improve you, it’s not the end
It’s a jam session
My profession
A truly hard yeah one an obsession
But the joke is over you know what I mean
The party is gone and I’m out of the scene
