Into The Night (Slip And Slide)

"Into The Night (Slip And Slide)" is a song released by Pierre Michel Nigro under his alias Michael Fortunati, from his debut studio album, Give Me Up ~Fortunati's 1st~ (1987). The song was written by Pierre Michel Nigro, Mario Nigro, and M. De San Antonio, and produced by the latter. Additionally, M. De San Antonio mixed the song at Rimini Studio in Italy. The test pressing for the vinyl single was released on October 16, 1986 in France, and the song was subsequently fully released on 7" and 12" vinyl formats throughout Europe in 1987. The release was under the label Flarenasch, while in Spain, it was released by Max Music. On March 25, 1987 the song was released as a single in Japan by Alfa International in a 7" and 12" formats. The 12" vinyls included a remix of Fortunati's first single, "Give Me Up", done by JG's as the B-Side.

Lyrics
[Intro] Hey girl, come on and move to the beat Come on and move, tap your feet We're gonna dance all the night, yea!

[Verse 1] Hey pretty girl watcha doin' tonight Come on and dance come and dance all night long So tap your feet move along and just listen to me I'm gonna sing gonna sing you my song

[Pre-Chorus] Come on and move to the beat Come on get up off your seat Come on and stand in my heat Come on and move tap your feet We're going dancing tonight We're gonna make it up tight We're gonna flow like a kite We're gonna make it alright

[Chorus] We slip and slide, oh-ho! Into the night, oh-ho! We slip and slide, oh-ho! We'll be alright, oh-ho!

[Verse 2] So hit the beat get up out of your seat It's gettin' hot gettin' hot here inside Get up and move up and move now you're lookin' alright You've got the beat flowing into your mind

[Pre-Chorus] And now you're ringing my bell And now you're looking quite well And now you're out of your shell And now you're fine we can tell I'm gonna learn you to fly I'm gonna take you up high I'm gonna reach for the sky I'm gonna move and make you sigh

[Chorus] We slip and slide, oh-ho! Into the night, oh-ho! We slip and slide, oh-ho! We'll be alright, oh-ho! We slip and slide, oh-ho! Into the night, oh-ho! We slip and slide, oh-ho! Make it alright, oh-ho!

[Synthesizer Solo]
