"Dancing in the Dark" is a 1983 single by British singer Kim Wilde. It is the second single from the album ''Catch as Catch Can''. == Overview == The song marked a change in direction for the singer, with more of a dance-oriented style than her earlier work. It did not meet with the success of previous singles, only just scraping into the UK Top 75. Its peak at No.67 was Wilde's lowest chart showing up to this point and would remain so until 1990's "Time".〔(Chartstats - UK chart details )〕 Although it did make the top 30 in a number of European countries, Wilde considered this her "rock bottom" and was unhappy with the song.〔("I'm Game for a Laugh!", ''Smash Hits'' interview, William Shaw, 1985 )〕
The track was written by Nicky Chinn and Paul Gurvitz, making it only the second track Wilde recorded not written by her father and brother (the latter did, however, receive production credits). It was remixed by Nile Rodgers for the extended 12" release, which also included an instrumental version of the song. The B-side of the single was "Back Street Driver", an outtake from the ''Catch as Catch Can'' album sessions. A promotional video was made for the single, which featured Wilde dressed in black and performing the song to camera, backed by a silhouetted male dancer. "Dancing in the Dark" received mixed reviews in the press, as did the album, with some commenting on the song's risqué lyrics, which detail a romantic encounter with a stranger.〔(Wildelife - Record reviews, 1983 )〕 This single remains Wilde's final UK release with her original record label, RAK Records. The song was also recorded in 1983 by Dutch-based singer Tony Sherman and released as a single. In 1985 it was recorded by Stacey Q on her debut album. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dancing in the Dark (Kim Wilde song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
