woke up this morning and i looked outside
just an average day, no new surprise.
picked up the paper and i read the front page
and what it said just blew me away.
top of the page and printed in red,
caught my eye and here's what it said -
something is wrong in the world today.
work, war, and crime can't walk a straight line.
out on the dance floor, everything's gonna be all right
out on the dance floor, dance hall, dance hall crashers tonight!
the world's a mess some people always say.
well you know they're right, but who am i to say?
we keep on living and we take it all in stride
'cause if we worry too much we'll never stay alive.
just keep on what you're doing, don't always look back
what happened then, it's all in the past.
just live for the moment and do what you will.
we'll keep on playing cause we know the bill.
out on the dance floor, everything's gonna be alright
out on the dance floor, dance hall, dance hall crashers tonight!
so if something's wrong in the world today,
well that's alright, that's what we say.
worry about the next day when it's time has come,
just get up on your feet now and don't miss this song.
we're all rocking steady, you should try it too.
don't worry about your image, it's just me and you.
we're here right now and that's all we care about.
don't worry about tomorrow, let's go all out.
out on the dance floor, everything's gonna be alright
out on the dance floor, dance hall, dance hall crashers tonight!
Dance Hall Crashers (DHC) is a ska punk band from Berkeley, California, that formed in 1989. The band was originally made up from two of the members of seminal ska-punk band Operation Ivy. Since both Matt Freeman and Tim "Lint" Armstrong were interested in playing in a purely ska outfit, they recruited original drummer and ska enthusiast Erik Larsen aka Erik Kolacek. The band's name itself was brought to the band by Erik Larsen from a song by an older Jamaican ska band. The band started as the result of a conversation (at Tim and Matt's house on Kains Ave. in Berkeley a few blocks from Gilman Street) over the need for a more roots style ska/ rock-steady band between Matt, Tim, Joey Schaaf, and Andrew Champion. The first line-up was based on these four with the addition of Erik Larson after Andrew called him up and got him to take time away from the Liquidators (His then current project, also a roots style ska band) to sit in on the new project. Grant Mcintire (Friend and sometime roadie for Operation Ivy) was also brought in on guitar and to help with songwriting duties. Some of their most representative songs include "The Ska Song", "Don't Let Me Down" and "I Got You Babe".

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
