And they include, "Everybody dance now," and, "Strike it up, this song is gonna-

Everybody Dance Now?

Everybody Dance Now.

Yeah.

Uh-

So we're not even talking like the metal or, or the alternative charts where I'm sure it was just gangbusters.

This was the year of Everybody Dance Now by CC Music Factory and all this stuff.

The

given that we were celebrating the 35th anniversary of 1991's Best Picture Academy Award winner, Silence of the Lambs, a film that's filled with a heaping helping of bloody mayhem of its own.

But if going back 35 years is going to make you sweat and want to sing Everybody Dance Now in C&C Music Factory, you'll way the fuck right out of the room with an anguished, tortured cry of No, no, don't lose your religion, I.R.E.M.

It's not an old movie, if you haven't seen it.

Silence of the Lambs, based on the 1988 book by Thomas Harrison, directed by Jonathan Demme from a screenplay adaptation by Ted Talley.
