I Can't Dance

Momentum

This song has not appeared on a Rotation chart, so it has no score and no receipts. The rank history below is the ledger; a score is only published once the momentum run puts it on a chart.

Why it's here

The song's riff and concept grew out of the band mocking a Levi's jeans commercial that used the Clash's 'Should I Stay or Should I Go', turning what was initially dismissed as a throwaway joke recording into a single. [1] Its music video parodies jeans commercials and ends with Collins spoofing Michael Jackson's 'Black or White' dance moves, spawning the stiff-limbed 'I Can't Dance' dance. [2] The track earned a Grammy Award nomination for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals. [3]

In culture

Every place this record has lived. A solid chip states a fact and carries the citation that earns it; a dashed one is a connection somebody drew, and carries their name instead.
