Not just shorter, but completely different in conception - and with fewer hooks, to boot.ĭo you even know what I’m talking about? Has the extended dance mix of “The Safety Dance” made it down through history, or are you only familiar with the shorter - and somewhat different single, in which, after only 10 seconds of synthesizer fanfare, lead hatless man Ivan Doroschuck gets right to the point: Sure, it all seemed vaguely silly, right down to the somewhat problematic-but-ubiquitous medieval-themed video that was played approximately five times an hour on MTV, but here’s the thing: that video - and the single it was based on - was a completely different version of the song that people who bought the album or the extended dance version of the single heard. Let’s just say that I’ve been an unabashed fan of this hookfest from the very start: I even gave the underlying album (the long-forgotten Rhythm of Youth) a good review in the very second issue of Dead Air Diary.
