[Frank Zappa - Dance Contest lyrics]
"One of, one of the things that I like best
About playing in New York
Is this particular place
Because it has - it has a
Stage that is conducive to, how
You say in the trade, audience participation
Now if there's one thing that
I really like, it's, uh
Audience participation now listen i gotta
Figure out something that I can
Uh - do you think we should have another
Dance contest tonight? Oh, hey - the
Injured person dance contest ah, well
Let's seeawright, I'll tell you what we're
Going to do here's a, here's a
Guy who really wants to be in
The dance contest aw reety, aw-righty
Hey okay"
