Another dance-on-the-tractor favorite. Sometimes when this song came on I'd stop the tractor so I could hear it better. Then I'd take a leak after the song was done so I had at least a little better excuse for stopping. Maybe that's why I feel the urge to pee after hearing this song.
I'm a little confused by the juxtaposition of the lyrics and the video. In the song, he's inviting us to "Put on your red shoes and dance the blues." But in the video, he seems to be warning that if you put on those red shoes, you'll set off a nuclear explosion in the Australian outback. Since Australia doesn't have nuclear weapons, I'm guessing the bomb would be detonated by radical kitten-heel terrorists.
Oh, 1983, how I miss your nuclear paranoia. And Dabney Coleman's mustache.
