Dance Song For People Who Don't DanceNew song & vid. We used Acoustica Mixcraft for the mixing and Corel Video Studio for the video production ******* LYRICS ****** Song info below lyrics Dance Song For People Who Don't Dance This is a dance song for people who don’t dance All you do is get up on your feet and take a chance You can do it in a group, a pair or on your own It's the simplest dance song that this world has ever known You don’t have to do the moonwalk none of that flash stuff Getting on your feet and shuffling round is good enough Dance like no-one's watching, cos no-one ever does Seeing people moving & smiling’s what we love This is for the folks out there who usually don't dance The ones who'd rather take a seat instead of take a chance They stand back in the shadows and watch others while they shine But this dance song is different because it's yours and mine I know I've got two left feet but wanna try it out Before you know it I'm getting down to "Twist 'n' Shout" Remember it’s a dance song for people who can’t dance They do it down in London, and in Paris France Their Parisian feet move to the beat and then it’s “oo-la-la” Soon they’re dancing rhumbas and then the cha-cha-cha Though they're from big citie s it don't mean they know what's right You just let your hair down and dance with all your might D it on your own, in a group or in a pair Shake your tail feathers like you just don’t care ***SONG INFO *** ****** Song Summary ************* Title: Dance Song for People that can't dance v001h.SGU File:Dance Song for People that can't dance v001h.SGU Key=E , Tempo 110, Length (m:s)=3:44 No intro. 100 bar chorus, from bar 1 to bar 100.

Good use of BIAB, Tracks work nicely for the song. Good vocals. Well mixed.
The video is really well done. I was surprised how well the dancers matched the music - did you match that up in the video software?

Thanks for the kind comments Floyd. Yes, a member since '03 and never posted a song on here! The dancers matching the music was down to a lot of luck (and a little effort from me).
I have lots more and I intend posting more.
I've just listened to some of your music and really appreciate your comments, as your stuff is GREAT!

Hi Killer,
Song - Good Old Rock N Roll - I like it. Lots of light and shade.
Vocals - A little unclear because of the vocal harmony effects (or similar) used. I would like to hear the lead vocalist and the BV's or vocal effects just used in places e.g. the last two lines of each verse or maybe on specific rhyming words.
Sax - up a little in the breaks.
Left Side Instrument - how about using a Piano instead of the Guitar? There's plenty in BIAB that would fit really well.
I would like to hear a remix,
Best Regards
Nigel

Hi Killer
As I watched this I realized that the fun MP4 had a cool MP3 accompaniment so I gave it another spin and yep, ...... a cool MP3 accompaniment! Reminded me of Kiss by Prince. I like the multi tracked vocals and the stereo placements of the instruments . Good fun , clever lyrics and as a non dancer with two left feet you had me hooked from the start. Great stuff , keep 'em coming.
cheers
Gary.

Great song-based arrangement of the band. It's hard to find "dancing" that actually matches the tempo, so well done in making this an enjoyable "watch" as well as song. I have to say, though, that the guy in white dancing alongside the woman was copying my moves. Great fun and much enjoyed.

Welcome old timer, new poster. You should post more as this is really good. Super RT backing tracks and a good vocal. The video was good also.
This is a winner as is in my book.
Life is short so make sure you spend as much time as possible on the Internet arguing with strangers.

I'm with Nigel on the comments. Yep... cool tune but needs a "mix fix".
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Hi Nigel
thanks for the suggestions. I really appreciate you taking the time to listen and analyse the song. I'll try what you've said. I was aware of the two guitar parts getting in each other's way but, Duh?!, didn't think of using a different instrument. I'm aware I have an issue with vocals in that 1) I'm unconfident as a singer; 2) I'm using a cheap mic; 3) I'm recording the vocals in a spare room and with the best will in the world I can't help but feel self-conscious, which then, naturally, affects my performance ;o); 4) I'm never quite sure how far to push them forward into the mix. Further forward is my answer for this one then! And I'll raise the sax volume in the breaks too.
But for now . . . I have many more I need to start on.
Thanks again.

Thanks Gary, high praise indeed! Love your tagline, "If my music sucks, good. If you tell my WHY,....even gooder." I reckon that's why we're on here, right? You in the UK?

Well, since other people did the heavy lifting analyzing the mix, that means I can do the easy part and say how much I enjoyed the song and video. Fun song, clever lyrics, nice match with the video. Much enjoyment was had, even without dancing.

202 New RealTracks Released with Band-in-a-Box 2026!
With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!
Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!
Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!
And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
The 2026 49-PAK is loaded with other great new add-ons as well. Learn more about the 2026 49-PAK!
