Written by Bowie and produced past Nile Rodgers of the band Chichi, it was released equally the pb single from the album in March 1983 and went on to become one of his biggest-selling tracks. It was recorded in late 1982 at the Ability Station in Manhattan and was the first song recorded for the album. The end of the song features a guitar solo past then-ascension dejection guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan.

It was also his second and concluding single to attain No. one in the United states. In Oceania, it narrowly missed topping the Australian charts, peaking at No. two for iii weeks[9] but topped the chart for 4 consecutive weeks in New Zealand. The single became one of the best selling of the twelvemonth across North America, Cardinal Europe and Oceania. Information technology is ane of the 300 best-selling Great britain singles of all time.[ten]

Development [edit]

In tardily 1982, Nile Rodgers met David Bowie in the New York afterward hours gild Continental, where the ii adult a rapport over industry acquaintances and shared musical interests.[11] Bowie subsequently invited Rodgers to his house in Switzerland, which Rodgers understood to be an audience.[12]

Bowie, using a 12-string audio-visual guitar that had but six strings, played Rodgers a 2-chord pattern, which the latter would later describe as "dark sounding" and a "folk song"; Bowie wanted to telephone call information technology "Allow's Trip the light fantastic" and believed it to exist a hit.[12] Rodgers asked if he could accommodate the music, moving information technology higher in the calibration, switching the primal up to B♭, inverting the chords and adding upstrokes.[12] The two of them went on to record a demo on 19 and twenty December 1982 at Mountain Studios with a grouping of musicians, among them Erdal Kızılçay on bass. Kızılçay'south piece of work at outset followed the stylings of Jaco Pastorius, but he and Rodgers ultimately worked out a simpler bassline for the song.

In 2018, Rodgers recalled "This [demo] recording was the first indication of what we could do together equally I took his 'folk song' and arranged it into something that the entire world would soon be dancing to and seemingly has non stopped dancing to for the terminal 35 years! Information technology became the blueprint non merely for 'Permit'due south Dance' the song but for the unabridged anthology as well."[13] An edited version of the demo recording, mixed by Rodgers, was released digitally on 8 Jan 2018, and the full-length (7:34) demo was released equally a 12" vinyl single on 21 April.[14] Rodgers' guitar work features a singled-out funk influence, but he was afraid that the "disco sucks" movement could hamper the song'due south success; the version of "Allow's Dance" that made it into the album had the guitar parts treated with delays by engineer Bob Clearmountain and separated into groups of notes, punctuated by the bassline.[12]

Music video [edit]

The music video (which uses the shorter single version) was made in March 1983 past David Mallet on location in New South Wales, Commonwealth of australia, including a bar in Carinda, the Warrumbungle National Park near Coonabarabran, and in Sydney, including The Strand Arcade, Broadway street in front of the University of Notre Matriarch Australia and a promontory on the Sydney Heads overlooking Sydney Harbour towards the Sydney central business organization district.[xv] [xvi] In the get-go, it featured Bowie with a double bass player inside the 1-room bar at the Carinda Hotel and an Aboriginal couple 'naturally' dancing "to the vocal they're playin' on the radio". The couple in this scene and in the whole video were played by Terry Roberts and Joelene King, ii students from Sydney's Aboriginal Islander Dance Theatre. As Bowie opted for real people, some Carinda residents were nowadays in the bar, watching and mocking the couple. They did non know who Bowie was or that a music video was being filmed, and their reactions towards the dancing couple were genuine.[17] [xviii] [19]

The scarlet shoes mentioned in the song'south lyrics appear in several contexts. The couple wanders solemnly through the outback with some other Ancient people, when the young woman finds a pair of mystical cherry pumps on a desert mountain and instantly learns to dance. Stark argues Bowie'due south calling 'put on your cerise shoes' recalls Hans Christian Andersen's tale "The Red Shoes", in which the little girl was vainly tempted to wear the shoes only to discover they could not exist removed, separating her from God'south grace – "let's dance for fear your grace should fall" [20] "The red shoes are a establish symbol. They are the simplicity of the backer society and sort of striving for success – black music is all nigh 'Put on your ruby shoes'", as Bowie confirmed.[21]

Soon, the couple is visiting museums, enjoying candlelit dinners and casually dropping credit cards, drunk on modernity and consumerism. During a stroll through an arcade of shops, the couple spots the same pair of cerise pumps for sale in a window display, their personal key to joy and freedom. They toss away the magic kicks in revulsion, stomping them into the dust and return to the mountains, taking one final look at the urban center they've left backside.

Bowie described this video (and the video for his subsequent unmarried, "People's republic of china Girl") as "very unproblematic, very straight" statements against racism and oppression, but also a very direct statement about integration of one culture with another.[17] [18]

Reception [edit]

"Let's Dance" was described by Ed Power in the Irish Examiner as "a decent clamper of funk-rock".[7] Writing for the BBC, David Quantick said "the combination of Bowie and Rodgers on the title track was perfect – Bowie's epic lyric about dancing under 'serious moonlight' and the brilliant filching of the crescendo 'ahh!'s from the Beatles' version of the Isley Brothers' 'Twist and Shout' were masterstrokes, each welded to a loud, stadium-ised drum and bass sound".[22] In his retrospective review of the Let's Trip the light fantastic toe anthology, Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic called the song, along with "Modern Beloved" and "China Daughter", a "catchy, accessible vocal that has just enough of an conflicting edge to brand [information technology] distinctive".[two] In his AllMusic review of the vocal, Dave Thompson writes, "[the song] is one of Bowie's most overtly commercial compositions, farther blest by one of his most simplistic lyrics – the sociological content with which the song has historically been credited derives entirely from the accompanying video, as opposed to a lyric which does niggling more than than repeat the title effectually scattered invocations of "serious moonlight" and scarlet footwear."[23]

The song introduced Bowie to a new, younger audition unaware of his 1970s work. Although the track was his almost popular to appointment, its very success had the incongruous effect of distancing Bowie from his new fans, with Bowie saying he did not know who they were or what they wanted.[24] His next two albums, fabricated as an endeavour to cater to his new-found audience, suffered creatively as a result and Bowie cited them equally the albums he was least satisfied with in his career.[25]

Frank Zappa'south song "Be In My Video" from the 1984 album Them Or U.s. mocks music videos generally – and the "Let's Dance" video in particular – as pompous and riddled with cliches.[26]

Legacy [edit]

The shorter, single version of "Allow's Trip the light fantastic toe" has appeared on numerous compilation albums, the offset existence Changesbowie in 1990,[27] and was remastered, along with the entire Let's Dance album, on the 2022 box set up Loving the Alien (1983–1988).[28]

In the 2001 movie Zoolander, the song plays as Bowie appears in the motion-picture show.

In 2007, Bowie gave R&B singer Craig David permission to sample the song for his single "Hot Stuff (Allow's Trip the light fantastic)".[29]

Let'southward Trip the light fantastic: Bowie Down Nether, a brusk documentary past Rubika Shah and Ed Gibbs, explored the making of the music video in the Australian outback. It premiered at the Berlin International Movie Festival in February 2015.[30]

Jimmy Fallon covered the song as a tribute to Bowie on a 2022 episode of Saturday Nighttime Live;[31] the episode was the commencement-ever to exist broadcast alive across the entire United States. Nile Rodgers also played the song on guitar.

The song was used in commercials to promote figure skating for the 2022 Wintertime Olympics on NBC.
