LYRICS
Just a steel town girl on a Saturday night
Lookin' for the fight of her life
In the real-time world, no one sees her at all
They all say she's crazy
Locking rhythms to the beat of her heart
Changing movement into light
She has danced into the danger zone
Where the dancer becomes the dance
It can cut you like a knife
If the gift becomes the fire
On a wire between will and what will be
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
On the ice-blue line of insanity
Is a place most never see
It's a hard-won place of mystery
Touch it, but can't hold it
You work all your life for this moment in time
It could come or pass you by
It's a push-shove world, but there's always a chance
If the hunger stays the night
There's a cold kinetic heat
Struggling, pressing for the beat
Never stopping with her head against the wind
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
She's a maniac, maniac, I should know
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
Ooh, oh
Oh
There's a cold kinetic heat
Struggling, stretching for the beat
On a wire between will and what will be
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
She's a maniac, maniac, I should know
And she's dancing, yeah she’s dancing, oh she’s dancing
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
She's a maniac, maniac, I should know
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
Jack is having the time of his life. Just look at him. LOOK at him.
Who's jack????
It's so cool to see people having fun while making music! He's such an icon hahah!

C’est le mec à la droite de l’écran 😁barbe et casquette ! (En fait les 3 garçons ont des barbes et des casquettes…)
Ben too :-)
Love it - I haven't heard big drums like that for a while! 😀
This by far my favourite cover for quite some time (up there with Bigger, Faster, Stronger). Perfect! Opener for Best of 2022 easily.
Fully agree !
Agreed. Back in the groove
Agreed, I prefer it to the original. That's the best a cover can be!
I love how every one is smilling and so happy. That is what music is all about.
There's this song, 40 years old. An evergreen. You couldn't do better than that. Until now. WOW!
A dream come true listening to Pomplamoose sing “Maniac” 😍 and without any mashups whatsoever 😍 after all these years I still love this film “Flashdance”, as well as all the amazing original songs, and I lovingly recommend it to anyone who liked “Dirty Dancing”
Best music. This group is my favourite. All talented musicians and vocal artists. so effortless and perfect. thank you.
Nataly BURNS IT DOWN. Love the blend of her and Sarah’s voices.
Sarah! Thanks for her name. She sings beautifully in both languages and her voice is so pure and effortless. All that and pretty to boot.
Love Nataly's vocal on this! Her emotion hints at an underlying desire to break out into a *maniacal* dance. 😊
There is no group I avidly watch play all the way through a video besides these guys. They have the best energy and chemistry you will ever see and I am here for it every time.
Beautiful voice and a beautiful and talented woman surrounded by extremely talented musicians - great job on this song guys. I love it. Please keep them coming!
What willboy256 said ... Bart
let's hear her "sing" without the production stuff... no autotune.. no studio maniupations... bet she sounds like a jar of mayonnaise... 🙂
@@pesto12601 How to say"I've never listened to anything else they've done" without out using those words.
@@pesto12601 there is no auto tune or studio production. Pomplamoose were formed to avoid that. What you hear was performed live and raw.
@@sjzara HA! ummm no way.. that is so far from reality you must be listening to something else? Can you point me to proof ?
I love the way Pomp can switch decade styles so easily and put its distinctive stamp on each number.
What a song! What a band! What a pumping, slick, beautiful arrangement - You guys are right back in the groove with this one xx
Тут шикарно все, и сама исполнительница, и песня, и музыка! Супер!😍
So much tension, energy and musicality - another Pomplamoose classic 👌
Nat's voice never disappoints. She always starts a bit reserved but she really let go towards the end of the song. The look she gives Jack is of a woman very much in love. Jack is having way to much fun as usual! Fantastic cover. They didn't try to re-invent the wheel on this one and I love it.
The Jack's energy and motivation is in his face, and it's contagious in a very good way ... I love Pomplamoose !
Sarah Dugas is a shining star on the choir 😍
Already know this is gonna be a banger and I haven't finished the vid yet! Keep up the great work!!! :)
Fantastici, soprattutto le canzoni in francese.
Pomplamoose is pure musical magic and aural joy. They bring new life to classic covers and their originals are equally gratifying. There is something gentle and pure about Nataly’s vocal, and at the same time, powerful and provocative, forever with a young sweetness that runs deeper than you expect. I feel a satisfaction listening to them that I don’t experience in the mainstream music of 2022. I adore Pomplamoose and hope they never stop teaching others what real music is.
I absolutely enjoyed your version immensely!!!!!!
Bravo, Sarah, bravo, super! Pour ne rien dire de Natalie et des autres, tous au sommet de leur forme! Bravo!
Love it - I haven't heard big drums like that for a while!
Thanks for this version. It's si good!!!
Kimiko's "Dance" brougth me here.
But I loved n lovin ur covers since a long time. And this one
is another awesome! < 3 Thank u.
Perfeitos maravilhosos,
super profissionais, Parabéns a todos...
A voz da cantora é inigualável
❤❤💚💛🇧🇷🇧🇷👏👏👏👏👏
Nataly's voice is back, stronger than ever, and out there....love it. She has always had a strong vocal tone when she reaches out for it.
I don't know what I find the most beautiful: the signing, the music, or the energy of this band. The ensemble is amazing!
I tottaly agree
Love how much fun the band is having
Best rendition of the song by far - Thank you so much for this perfect cover of one of my favorite and an 80's icon song ❤❤
TH-cam comments may not be the best place for heartfelt sincerity, but here goes: The love and joy you put into all of your music is profoundly moving to me. It gets to me every time I listen, but especially when I watch your videos. Thank you so much for making music and sharing it!
What a great idea! Wonderful sound! Love the booming drums, too! Hypnotic, all-enveloping. Vocals from heaven!
Merci, Nataly, de reconnaître la participation de tous les gens qui collaborent à la réalisation de vos vidéos. Trop d'artistes nombrilistes et ingrats les ignorent.
Dura sex sed sex... Non?
Excelent version! Not only does it live up to it, but it surpasses it... and I'm from the '80s... I congratulate you. Saludos desde la Argentina
Wow, this is absolutely stunning. So many have attempted to cover this but rarely have they brought sth. really new to this 80s classic. This is definitely the best cover ever and in my opinion it's even better than the original because it is less cheesy and instead evokes that cool club sound feeling.
More 80s than the 80s. Pomp extracts the essence, leaving aside the distractions that surrounded the original.
What a GREAT interpretation of this 80's iconic tune. You ALL are a m a z i n g, and brought me to tears of happiness. Thank you so much for your hard work and for keeping us entertained. Bravo a TUTTI !!
As soon as I saw this 80's aesthetic style so carefully detailed, on those notes, my heart jumped directly with joyful nostalgic brutality to the 80's. Thank you.
Nataly did magic with this performance!!
This has got so much groove to it. Best version of this song I've ever heard
There is such a beautiful energy emanating from this performance, everybody having a great time!
Só a velha guarda para saber que essa música foi um dos hits da trilha sonora do filme "Flashdance"!!!! Bons tempos...bons compositores!!! =)
One of your best covers. Great job ♥
I never realized how much I like the lyrics to this song. Great cover!
Every time I listen to one of these it echos in my head for days. Stuck in the middle with you, is my favorite.
Best cover of the song I've ever heard, love the synths.
This is just amazing, you really hit it on the point. Not a native speaker and i can't find the right words for this very amazing work from you, much love from germany for you all.
3:21 she adds that little delay to the 2nd maniac and it REALLY locks you into the groove of the beat after that, I absolutely LOVE this version to bits.
New Nataly’s hairstyle is charming 👍 and her voice and music as great as ever ❤️ Thanks a lot!
I think that's the loudest I've heard Nataly sing. Love it! I'm a huge fan of this song and Flashdance. This just needs a synth solo where the guitar solo was sadly omitted.
I think it was fine without a synth solo, but I also recommend looking up Gabriella Quevedo's guitar cover of Maniac.
Thank you, I love this song and I understand the words so much better now.
You guys are doing amazing 👏 🙌 getting addicted for my love for harmony ❤️ 💕 ♥️ 💖 💗
Que hermosa interpretación! felicidades son unos tromes!
Looks like y'all are having so much fun. Great singing and playing.
Three IS way better than one; superb wall of sound and plenty of depth from Ben Rose. Thanks for The Pomplamoose Energy Boost! Love this.
Sûrement l'un des plus beau cover que j'ai jamais entendu !!!
SUPER, good work. You are great. Blessings from Perú
There is nothing better than watching people love what they do! Their joy is infectious!
the talent,the voice,the feeling...you have it all
I discovered this wonderful band late in my life , they are just wonderful ! Long may they cintinue
*Beautiful. Greetings from Brazil.*
It is a pleasure for the ears and for the eyes as well: looking at these wonderful artists showing all their passion. Simply Awesome!!!
Every single thing they touch becomes joyful experience. They find beautiful things where you never expect them.
The most unexpectedly epic tune for Pomplamoose!!
Lovely
J'ADOOORE !!! TOUS CE MONDE SOURIANT ET TALENTUEUX...BRAVO 😃👍
Not a usual song to cover……👍 love the enthusiasm
This is what friends want, when they start a band, have fun and set the jam to max.
le revival 80's a encore de beaux jours devant lui...Merci
Awesome cover! More awesome is the proper execution of “Blues sub-face A” by Karina at 2:35 throughly enjoyed that. :)
Totally amazing folks. Beautiful vocals.
Can't get enough of this song. Your other stuff is great, but this is amazing! Your best!
This was sooooo cool!! What a groove from start to finish!! Love love loved it!!!
Super interprétation avec encore une fois des arrangements géniaux, bravo à toute(s) !
This group of people have something special
I feel like Natalie has held back for a long time. It's good to hear that voice is still in there.
Cool voices (both, main and back vocal). Modern arrangement!
Listening to and watching Pomplamoose perform is the enjoyment of music in its pure form.
This is fantastic and now I want a Pomplamoose cover of Automatic Man by Michael Sembello
WOOOOOW! This Unreal Music! Thanks!!!!!
this has given me some goosebumps!! I feel what you feel during play of this live performance!
I love this group their passion for playing music
maaaan!!!!! that's was just freaking brilliant!!!
Вы время от времени просто удивляете своим талантом, так держать!!!
是的,我也这么认为。继续努力吧!
Buenísima interpretación, como siempre!!!!!! Hermosas voces y melodías. Grande Sembello, grande Pomplamoose!!!!!!
simply awsome ! great Job !
Love it! Always loved this song. Good to see you guys having fun. And always good to see super cute Ben Rose! 😀
The thumbnail got me. Instant click and having now listened to the first 10 seconds, instant repeat. Love it
The guy in the blue hat on the synthesizer kills me with his over enthusiastic open mouth smile. Its super contagious and I love it!
He is the husband of the singer. He is also the cofounder of Patreon. He is also a Genius.
Я влюблен в эту барышню!!! Голос, внешность, ГЛАЗА!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Everything is said... ! Congrats !
3:50 Nataly looking at Jack - hot devilish grin from a cool different look.
Three keyboards! Jack's so far into this all you can see are the soles of his feet.
Also, the mixing on this is great. All of the musicians Pomplamousse hires are top notch and get paid what their talent is worth which is another thing I like about Nataly, ethics. The background singer is fabulous.
Adoro este timbre en la voz. Creo que nunca se podría comparar a otro. Es lo más humano y perfecto.
Me gusta más cómo la canta Michael Sambello.
Bloody Fabulous!
superbe ! I love this team you are a band and you never diverge from what was your goal : real instruments real craftmanship music and showed how it is made ! I like Jack nodding his head whereas Nathaly is living the music interiorly and so complementarly! I love this music so long pomplamoose !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG! That snare! Those toms! And that JP-8000! 😍
I've always loved this track! Just an awesome cover! Well done to all. FANTASTIC stuff! BRILLIANT!
Superb 💃🏼🕺🏻🎶🕺🏻💃🏼🎶💃🏼🕺🏻
I love this song
I just cant stop listening to all your stuff guys would be so fun to jam with u guys come to Australia you can stay with me i wouod love it
This is my 2-year old daughter’s second favorite tune… This and your “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” video helps my toddler calm down… so THANK YOU for helping me with parenting 🤗
This is best produced tune from pomplamoose til now. Super cool sound.
I love love this, the energy from everyone is amazing 👏
