"Rhythm Is a Dancer" is a song recorded by German Eurodance group Snap!. It was released in March 1992 and achieved huge success in many countries around the world, topping the charts in France, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Germany and the United Kingdom. It also reached the top 5 on the US ''Billboard'' Hot 100 and number one on the US Hot Dance Music/Club Play Singles.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Allmusic: Snap! - The Madman's Return (Awards) )〕 The single spent six weeks at the top in the UK where it was the second biggest selling single of 1992, surpassed only by Whitney Houston's version of "I Will Always Love You".〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Chart Archive - 1990s Singles )〕 The song was the second single from the album ''The Madman's Return''. It was written by Benito Benitez, John "Virgo" Garrett III (aliases for German producers Michael Münzing and Luca Anzilotti), singer Thea Austin, and rapper Turbo B and produced by Snap!. ==Lyrics and music== The track features lead vocals by Thea Austin and a rap by Turbo B. According to ''Miz hit. tubes'', a book which analyses the French pop charts, "This discotheque song alternates female singing in the chorus with fluid, set back male raps in the verses. These are tinted with a resonant sonority, which gives them an astonishingly melancholic softness, for a Dance hit. That gives the whole track a particular colour, almost nostalgia." The rap lyrics on the main version (not the 7" edit) are a slightly modified version of the following lines from an essay by John Perry Barlow called "Being in Nothingness Virtual Reality and the Pioneers of Cyberspace". It also contains what one critic called the worst lyric of all time, "''I'm as serious as cancer when I say rhythm is a dancer''". The original album version of the song did not contain the line, which is found on the more widely known 7" single of the song that was later added to the album. Although Snap! were criticized for the lyric, the line had been used in hip hop music since the late '80s.〔 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「Rhythm Is a Dancer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
