I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You by Black Kids

Songfacts®:
The Black Kids hail from Jacksonville, Florida and consist of Reggie Youngblood, (guitar, vocals), Ali Youngblood (keyboards, vocals), Dawn Watley (keyboards, vocals), Owen Holmes (bass) and Kevin Snow (drums). This was their debut single and it was originally found on their 2007 self-released EP Wizard Of Ahhhs.
In this song Reggie Youngblood is mocking a girl's boyfriend with "two left feet," all the while worrying that he's nothing without his superior moves. He explained to the Guardian newspaper: "I like that about human nature. That you can think the world of yourself one moment and then the next you're a cowardly, awkward, sniveling piece of s--t. It's all there lurking and it's so random what's going to come to the forefront. "
Reggie Youngblood explained to Vice magazine the background to this track: "Well, Jacksonville is a sort of anomaly, in that despite being a somewhat culturally bereft city, we have amazing dance parties at which we dance like motherfu--ers. So, in this environment, I've repeatedly found myself in situations where girls love to dance with me ('cause I can move, baby) but usually go home with someone else, who can't dance for s--t. It's a problem."
In the same Vice magazine interview, Youngblood explained the band's name: "It is REALLY hard to come up with a name that hasn't been taken. You think of something you like, Google it, and sure enough, someone's beat you to it. So, we thought, we really must have something that most people won't touch. And it should sound cool. I find it hilarious when someone black asks Owen or Kevin (who are both white) what band they play in, because they're not quite comfortable saying it aloud. If I'm with them, I just keep very quiet and relish the awkwardness. "

Lyrics of the song Free Thoughts - Dance translation, lyrics, video, clip
Teach me how to dance like you dance
Teach me how you love to do it,
Spin me around in your pirouettes,
So that the sea of light will spin with us.
Like autumn leaves covered with snow
Dance to questions to all my answers
White will fall, cleanse my soul,
Gray life will break the balance.
Dance is my feelings and confessions,
Sometimes mistakes and despair.
My dance without words, you can read all thoughts
And about what you know, and about what you don't know
Dance of the snow reefs to the rhythms of the heart,
As if in a whirlpool of dance plunging into the abyss,
Burns and intoxicates like a kiss
You hug me tight, we will dance with you
You and I will dance a passionate dance of life,
We'll disappear with you on empty avenues,
Like it's with us and not with us0003 Do not regret anything, do not return anything,
Dance of the moth flying to the flame,
You flap your wing, put out the fire,
I want with my eyes closed
Dance with you all my love
Dance is a bullfight, it's a tango in red Dance on the brink when there is danger,
Dance of eternity, in the web of time
Where wolves and she-wolves dance shadows.
I love your dance and all its movements,
I remember your dance every moment,
I teach mysterious dance signs
And like a ray of light I go to you in the darkness.
Dance is an explosion, an explosion of emotions,
It's like talking in an unfamiliar language.
Dance is a current, a current of touches,
When two people are drawn together by attraction.
Dance is feelings from another world,
And one day you can burn to the ground in it.
Dance is running along the very edge of the sky
Take the first step towards meeting me.
You and I will dance a passionate dance of life,
We'll disappear with you on empty avenues,
As if it is with us and not with us,
Do not regret anything, do not return anything,
Dance of the moth flying to the flame,
You flap your wing, put out the fire,
I want with my eyes closed
Dance with you all my love
Teach me to dance, since you are dancing,
Teach me how you do it, love,
Outside of me, faster in my pirouettes,
So that together with us the sea of light would turn.
Like autumn leaves covered with snow
Dance on questions to all my answers
White will fall out, cleanse my soul,
Gray life will break the balance.
Dance is my feelings and recognitions,
Sometimes mistakes and despair.
My dance without words, I'll read all my thoughts
And about what you know, and about what you do not know
Dance of snowy reefs heart rhythms,
As if in a whirlpool of dancing plunging into the abyss,
Burns and drunk like a kiss,
You hold me tight, we'll dance with you us and not with us,
Do not regret anything, return nothing,
Dance of the moth flying to the flame,
You swing the wing, extinguish the fire,
I want with my eyes closed
Dance with you all my love
Dance is bullfight, it's tango in red,
Dance on the edge of the abyss, when the danger,
Dance of eternity, in the web of time
There where wolves and wolves dance shadows.
I love your dance and all its movements,
I remember your dance every moment,
I teach the mysterious dance signs
And like a light, a ray comes to you in the darkness.
Dance is an explosion, an explosion of emotions,
Like a conversation in an unfamiliar language.
Dance is a current, a current of touches,
When two draws together attraction.
Dance is a feeling from another world,
And one day you can burn it to the ground.
Dance is a run on the very edge of the sky
Make me the first step to the meeting.
We'll dance a passionate dance with you,
We'll be lost with you on empty avenues,
As if this is with us and not with us,
Do not regret anything, return nothing,
Dance of the moth flying to the flame,
You swing the wing, extinguish the fire,
I want with my eyes closed
Dance with you all my love

Grandma, put off your knitting,
Start your old gramophone
And you fulfill my desire -
Learn to dance the Charleston.
Come on, come on!
You don't have to fight with me for a long time,
I can do it myself, just explain.
You'll see, I'll be a diligent student,
Come on, grandma, come on!
I tell you over and over,
I repeat again and again -
I am ready to do everything for you:
Sew, wash, make jam,
All day socks knit
And look for glasses for you.
Charleston me for it
Teach you to dance.
Come on, come on!
You don't have to fight with me for a long time,
I can do it myself, you just fix it.
You'll see, I'll be a diligent student,
Come on, grandma, come on, come on!
I tell you over and over,
And I ask again and again -
I am ready to do everything for you:
Sew, wash, make jam,
All day knit socks,
Run to the store for you.
Charleston me for it
Teach you to dance.
Grandmother, put off your knitting,
Get your old gramophone
And my fulfill the desire -
Learn to dance Charleston.
