Do You Wanna Dance - The Ramones (cover)

Bobby Freeman was 17 when he wrote and recorded "Do You Want To Dance," a high energy pop hit with a common topic early in the rock era: asking a girl to dance.
Freeman had been performing with three other teenagers at dances and other functions when a San Francisco DJ brought him in to record the song. Released on the Josie label, it was a big hit in the summer of 1958.
Freeman struggled to follow up this song with another hit. His next single, "Betty Lou Got A New Pair Of Shoes," stalled at #37. He got no higher until 1964, when "C'mon And Swim," inspired by the dance he popularized, went to #5. That one was produced and co-written by Sly Stone, marking the first hit he worked on.
Freeman never again cracked the Top 40, but he performed for years to come, with "Do You Want To Dance" his showstopper.
The Ramones' released a version of "Do You Wanna Dance?" in 1978 on their 3rd album Rocket To Russia. It was used in the film Rock 'n' Roll High School, and in a television advertisement for the release of Wall-E on DVD. Record World said that the Ramones' treatment "is brief, rough and to the point."
Do You Wanna Dance?
Do you wanna dance and a hold my hand?
Tell me baby I'm your lover man
Oh baby, do you wanna dance?
Do you wanna dance under the moonlight?
Squeeze me baby all through the night
Oh baby, do you wanna dance?
Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna dance?
Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna dance?
Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna dance?
Do you wanna dance under the moonlight?
Squeeze me baby all through the night
Oh baby, do you wanna dance?
Do you wanna dance under the moonlight?
Squeeze me baby all through the night
Oh baby, do you wanna dance?
Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna dance?
Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna dance?
Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna dance?
Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna dance?
Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna dance?
Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna dance?
