Is "Dancing in the Dark" slang for sexual congress or a metaphor for the songwriter's inability to grasp the ulimate meaning of life? . . . Sorry, I'm unemployed and have too much time on my hands.
You are unemployed now?! Oh, I'm sorry! Well, welcome to the wonderful world of blog reading.
Don't know about "dancing in the dark", but a "shag" is a euphemism for er, horizontal folk-dancing here in Australia. How appropriate then that they are at the Coq Rouge.
I live in Shag country--Coastal North Carolina--and what those kooks are doing ain't what we'd call Shaggin'! Must be some Yankeefied aberration.
When we Southern girls hit London and asked where we could Shag, we were suddenly VERY popular!
Googling Fletcher Godfrey got me nowhere, but he is still my new Dead Boyfriend--such a great playboy name, and look at him!
Curse you, Barbara Wall, he's mine!
Eve, "Googling Fletcher Godfrey" sounds so naughty!
