Dance-pop is dance-oriented pop music that originated in the early 1980s. Developing from post-disco, it is generally up-tempo music intended for clubs with the intention of being danceable but also suitable for contemporary hit radio. Dance-pop music is generally characterised by strong beats with easy, uncomplicated song structures which are generally more similar to pop music than the more free-form dance genre, with an emphasis on melody as well as catchy tunes. The genre, on the whole, tends to be producer-driven, despite some notable exceptions.
Dance-pop is a popular style and there are several artists and groups who perform in the genre. Notable ones include Britney Spears, Madonna, Kylie Minogue, Rick Astley, Mel & Kim, Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Bananarama, Spice Girls, Christina Aguilera, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Lady Gaga and Kesha amongst others.
"Pumped Up Kicks" is a song by American indie pop band Foster the People. It was released as the group's debut single in September 2010, and the following year was included on their EP Foster the People and their debut album Torches. "Pumped Up Kicks" became the group's breakthrough hit and was one of the most popular songs of 2011. The song was written and recorded by frontman Mark Foster while he was working as a commercial jingle writer. Contrasting with the upbeat musical composition, the lyrics describe the homicidal thoughts of a troubled youth.
The track received considerable attention after it was posted online in 2010 as a free download, and it helped the group garner a multi-album record deal with Columbia Records imprint Startime International before they had issued a commercial release. The song became both a crossover hit and a sleeper hit in 2011, as it received significant airplay on modern rock and contemporary hit radio stations. The song spent eight consecutive weeks at number three on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States, making it the first Billboard Alternative Songs number-one single to crack the U.S. top 5 since Kings of Leon's "Use Somebody" in 2009. The song was widely praised by critics, and it has been licensed for use in a wide range of popular media since its release. "Pumped Up Kicks" received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.
Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta (/ˈstɛfəniː dʒʌrməˈnɑːtə/ STE-fə-nee jurr-mə-NAH-tə; born March 28, 1986), known by her stage name Lady Gaga, is an American singer and songwriter. Born and raised in New York City, she primarily studied at the Convent of the Sacred Heart and briefly attended New York University's Tisch School of the Arts before withdrawing to focus on her musical career. She began performing in the rock music scene of Manhattan's Lower East Side, and was signed with Streamline Records by the end of 2007. During her employment as a songwriter for the record company, her vocal abilities captured the attention of recording artist Akon, who signed her to his label Kon Live Distribution.
Lady Gaga came to prominence as a recording artist following the release of her debut album The Fame (2008), which was a critical and commercial success that topped charts around the world and included the international number-one singles "Just Dance" and "Poker Face". After embarking on the The Fame Ball Tour, she followed the album with The Fame Monster (2009), which spawned the worldwide hit singles "Bad Romance", "Telephone" and "Alejandro". The album's success allowed her to embark on the eighteen-month long Monster Ball Tour, which later became one of the highest-grossing concert tours of all time. Her most recent album Born This Way (2011) topped the charts of most major markets and generated more international chart-topping singles, including "Born This Way", "Judas" and "The Edge of Glory". Besides her musical career, she involves herself with humanitarian causes and LGBT activism.

Oh, my love it makes me sad.
Why did things turn out so bad?
Was it just a dream, everything we did, everything we had?
Baby, give me one more
Dance while the music still goes on
Don't think about tomorrow
Dance and forget our time is gone
Tonight's a night we borrow.
Let's make it a memory, a night of our own
A thing to remember when we're all alone
So dance, it's our way to say goodbye
Yes, all we have to do is
Dance while the music still goes on
This is no time for crying
Dance, don't you hear them play our song
God knows that we've been trying
But we didn't make it 'cause nothing's the same
We just couldn't help it, nobody's to blame
So dance while the music still goes on
And let it be our last goodbye
Yet it seems to make me sad.
Why did things turn out so bad?
Was is just a dream, everything we did, everything we had?
Baby, give me one last
Dance while the music still goes on
Just like the night I met you
Dance and believe me, when you're gone
You know I won't forget you
Our love was a snowbird, it's flying away
You tell me it's over, what more can I say?
So dance while the music still goes on
It's gonna be our last goodbye
Dance while the music still goes on
Don't think about tomorrow
Dance and forget our time is gone
Tonight's a night we borrow.
Let's make it a memory, a night of our own
A thing to remember when we're all alone
So dance while the music still goes on
And let it be our last goodbye
Dance while the music still goes on
This is no time for crying
Dance, don't you hear them play our song
God knows that we've been trying
Dance while the music still goes on
Just like the night I met you
Dance and believe me, when you're gone
Bring on the dancing girls
Bring on the dancing girls
Bring on the dancing girls
Bring on the dancing girls
I feel the beat
I can't wait any longer
I feel the heat
Of bodies on the floor
Maybe one that's hot
Gets me so excited
Root me to the spot
I can't take it anymore
So letta me ride in the middle of
the action
I've been watching and longing her
(Chorus)
So (Bring on the girls)
Bring on the girls
(Bring on the girls)
Bring on the girls
(Bring on the good for nothing good looking girls)
And dance, dance, dance, dance me up
Dance, dance, dance, dance me up
Over the top
And then a little higher
Make my body pops
So that my feet don't touch the ground
I ain't gonna stop
Till you light my fire
You can dance me up
But you'll never dance me down
Coz I'm a man
And my temperature is rising
I've been lonely, longing her
(Repeat Chorus)
And dance, dance, dance, dance me up
Dance, dance, dance, dance me up
Bring on the dancing girls
I demand a fan of fan
Bring on the dancing girls
Bring on the dancing girls
I can't go wrong, I'm on
Bring on the dancing girls
I'm the one in the middle of
the action
I've been watching and longing her
(Repeat Chorus)
And dance, dance, dance, dance me up
Dance, dance, dance, dance me up
Dance, dance, dance, dance me up
Dance, dance, dance, dance me up
Dance, dance, dance, dance me up
The first time I saw you
I knew what I knew
That I could be nowhere without you
Workin' on songs
Til my fingers were blue
Determined you'll know
They're about you
And if I could fly
And if you would stay for a
Little while
And I'm almost grown
I'm on my own
It's the right time to listen
A liar can learn
Are we almost home?
Are we almost home?
A place in the sandbox
The man on the moon
Is dancing like there's no
Tomorrow
Nails on the chalkboard
I'll clean up my room
A corner to sit in my sorrow
But I think I could fly
If you would stay for a little while
And I'm almost grown
I am on my home
It's a fine time to listen
