Body Dancer

Body Dancer (also alternatively named as "Shake Body Dancer"), is a song by Elena Ferretti, released under the one-off alias Magic Fire. Written by Luigi Stanga, it was released in 1986.

The song found success throughout Europe, most notably in its home country Italy, along with France, Poland, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

Outside Europe, the song reached moderate success in Asia but it became a big hit in the Philippines after a dance craze was introduced by Filipina actress Maricel Soriano and this became one of her signature dance pieces. The song is featured in the 1987 movie Jack en Poy, in which she starred alongside Filipino actor Roderick Paulate. That film has the dance craze during the dream musical dance sequence. Also in the film was Finzy Kontini's "O La La".

Lyrics
[Intro - repeat twice] Shake! Body body dancer Shake! Body body dancer Shake! Body body dancer In the night

[Verse 1] If you really want to see All the people at your beat Move your body make this funky melody If you really want to see And you're movin it with me Clap you hands above up there To give you another chance

[Pre-Chorus 1] As for you, I'm goin' crazy And I spent a little money every night You make me see the light And you got it through the bad times

[Chorus - repeat twice] Shake! Body body dancer Shake! Body body dancer Shake! Body body dancer In the night

[Verse 2] When you take me to the top ‘Coz my love will never stop I'll be spending there with you With reason all night I would take you to the sea As for me, you're only need So I'm tellin' every mornin' Make you sleep with me

[Pre-Chorus 2] I would live to a new day Have the people send your love to fantasy I'll take you in my dreams So we can dance by the music
