Not to be confused with Into The Night (Mega NRG Man Song).

"Into The Night (Slip And Slide)" (also known as just "Into The Night") 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. In the following year, on May 10, 1988, the song was included as the coupling track on the Mini-CD release of Fortunati's 1988 single, "Alleluia".

On April 27, 1987, Masaru Narita, the president of N Enterprise Co., Ltd., and President of the Maharaja Disco of the Tokyo Area, covered the song and released it as a single through RCA Records. Furthermore, in 2000, Fortunati would self-cover the song for his Cover-Remix album Best Of 2000, under the new title "Into The Night 2000".

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!

Make it alright, oh-ho!

[Synthesizer Solo]

[Chorus; Fade Out]

Make it alright, oh-ho!
We slip and slide, oh-ho!
Into the night, oh-ho!
We slip and slide, oh-ho!
Into the night, oh-ho!
