Let’s Dance is the 2nd track on Tallsome Tales by The Carnivaleros.

Björgvin Benediktsson interviews songwriter Gary Mackender and mixing/mastering engineer Karl Hoffmann about the inspirations behind the song and how it came to be.

Walkin' down on 6th Street, done paid my daily dues

Could feel some crazy rhythms in the soles of my shoes

A barker grabbed my arm and shouted come check out the show

They'll kick your ass across the floor, they're playing the Zydeco

Well, I hadn't heard those sounds before so I thought I'd take a chance

The music grabbed a hold of me, come on let's dance!

I died and gone to heaven, my body drenched in sweat

The backbeat was relentless, the squeezebox reeds were wet

The bottom on that bass guitar could make a grown man weep

As the drummer kicked it in to gear and started digging deep

Well, I hadn't heard those sounds before so I thought I'd take a chance

Let the Zydeco wash over me, come on let's dance!
