Maybe it would be fun to dance that spazzy dance Marc Caplan taught us how to do back in the day.This ain’t no Mudd Club, no CBGB’s, I ain’t got time for that now…But I do got time for that now. Dance, dance, dance. Remember what it was like to be young and energetic and unmarked by life. Turn it up! Dance!Rudie can’t fail … Rudie can’t fail … Rudie can’t fail …Ruthie can’t fail
