Story Behind The Song
In 1989 in Lancaster, CA I was playing with a band called Crystal Aire. It was there I got the idea from Otis, the drummer's uncle, who always came to our rehearsal to try and sing with us. He always kept grabbing the mike and chanting can you dance to all the girls. For him I wrote this song so he could sing it with us. So all you guys who think I should be original ask the person who wrote their song when they wrote it and you'll see it's their friends who need to be original.

Lyrics
I?ve got my CD?s playing in the back room and they?re jumping
Sometimes I feel like I wanna bump & grind girl, well it?s happening
Well girl let?s see what you can do
Show me what you can do girl
I wanna see you get down
Well there's a jam playing in the back room, and they?re jumping
(Chorus)
They?re bad they?re hot,
They?re mighty cool
But you don?t have to be cool to join the dancing crew
But you better be smoking I ain?t joking
I wanna see some dancing
All I want to know is Who! You!
All I want to know is can you dance
(can you, can you dance, can you, can you dance)
I said now who, you
All I want to know is can you dance
(can you, can you dance, can you, can you dance)
Well there?s a band playing down on Main Street and I'm driving I?ve got my ride waiting down by the curbside and it's warming up
Oh girl let?s see what you can do
Show me what you can do girl
I wanna see you get down
Well there?s a band playing on Main Street and I'm driving
They?re bad they?re hot,
They?re mighty cool
But you don?t have to be cool to join the dancing crew
But you better be smoking, I ain?t joking
I wanna see some dancing
All I want to know is Who! You!
All I want to know is can you dance
(can you, can you dance, can you, can you dance)
I said now who, you
All I want to know is can you dance
(can you, can you dance, can you, can you dance)
Said baby can you dance
(can you, can you dance, can you, can you dance)
Said can you dance
(can you, can you dance, can you, can you dance)
Should I say I louder
(can you, can you dance, can you, can you dance)
Said can you dance
(can you, can you dance, can you, can you dance)
