Eddy Grant - I don't wanna dance The purpose of posting this video is to highlight Guyanese talent. I do not claim any copyright and do not benefit from this posting. The music and/or video is copyrighted to the artist.
I passed my driving test in November 1982. This is the first song ( it had just got to No 1 in the UK Charts ) on the car radio when I was driving alone, legally for the first time. Great memories.
+goldcup11 Yeah,songs make everything remember better and when you're driving,more so alone and for the first time ... Unavoidable will stuck in your memory ;)
my generations memories are all gonna be recorded...I'd rather remember the experienced not relive a recording..it only reminds you of so much but if you watch with your eyes you take it in better...this event would b wasted on someone posting to snapchat "just got my Ls jammin to grant" lol... I wish I was born earlier I feel like an old soul...
2024 and this old lady still loves Eddie ❤ I even managed to create a playlist on my tablet . That's my level of dedication because I can barely use a computer 😂
Puxxavida,,bons tempos que infelizmente não voltam mais. Só quem viveu pode se sentir privilegiado em curtir essa linda música 😊.. infelizmente não conheço ninguém aqui dos comentários mas só do fato de estar aqui ouvindo já são meus amigos do peito 🤗
i used to be a dj of diferent types of music but in a discoteque near a beach i was playing this everyday to drunken girls and boys from several european countries, desculpa eu ouvia todos os dias ,era DJ de diferentes tipos de musica ,mas no verão passava esta malha todos os dias pra muitos jovens de diferentes paises europeus que vinham para Portugal de férias e partiam o coco de tanto beberem e tinham a pele vermelha depois de um dia de praia , também portugueses a alguns brazileiros , pois tinha casa em Búzios e era sempre a abrir ai no Brazil ,embora o sitio onde tinha casa era para alguns não suportável devido aos preços, os cruseiros tavam muito baratos ,para nós era ao contrário parecia tudo muito barato, depois mudamos para o continente mais a norte numa terra ainda muito calma comparado com os principais sitios de férias para onde vinham os extranjeiros ou como eu, ainda comprei um VW SP1 que era muito bonito por dentro e fora um autentico carro desportivo dos anos 70(segundo me disseram por causa dos luzes da frente estarem muito baixas mas eu nunce me fez diferença ), não andava muito de pressa mas servia perfeitamente ou ferpeitamente quando bebia muita cachassa, quando mais tarde provei a marca velho barreirense ainda bebia mais margerittas feitas com cachassa que "não é agua não", eu que o diga era completamente alcólico e outros fumos mas parei quando tinha meio século, só os fumos eu não consegui parar, ainda tive quase uma semana sem fumar isto porque sexta á noite depois de um jantar bem regado, eu dei por mim a fumar e olha que se lixe , como dizia o outro e ainda cá estou para minha surpresa, ouvia muito chico buarque de holanda e Elis Regina que foi uma pena quando ela se foi e outros como ney mato grosso que veio tocar a portugal há 3 anos se não me engano já sem o estilo visual dele quando era novo, tava muito calor ás 23h quando o concerto começou estavam ainda 35 graus centigrados, mas ele cantou durante mais de duas horas e é tão pequeno numca tinha estado com ele antes, umas amigas minhas bem grandes e bem equipadas abraçaram o homem e ele desapareceu ,ficou esmagado dentro delas, dentro mas cá fora, parecia ser um homem muito humilde comparando com outros artistas , o chico buarque tambem veio á minha terra e gravou um disco com um cantor meu conhecido da minha terra também já com uma idade avançado como todos nós e muito simpático
@@eduardocarvalho6489 eu não vi muitas novelas mas me lembro da guerra dos sexos, que já foi depois do sol de verão e também a minha favorita com o Zeca Diabo e o paulo Gracindo como senhôzinho malta ou posso estar enganado já foi há muito tempo, e os Dancing days ,na altura a minha mulher obrigava-me a ver e eu não tinha escolha , não tinhamos outra televisão , em vez de arranjar outra televisão arranjei outra mulher, era tudo tão simples . Outro dia estava a dar um filme americano e tinha lá uma velha que era a mão de um do casal em que tudo correu mal já parecia um filme de guerra, só fiquei realmente triste quando no fim ao passar o nome dos actores e actrizes apareceu Sonia Braga era a velha, parece mentira eu também não estou mais novo. Mas quando ouvi esta musica cheguei a casa e toquei o disco há muito não tocado e trouxe memórias de outros tempos e com a embalagem ouvi também outro tema que tinha em single anika "Japanese boy"ou parecido e também o "tonight, i´m yours" do rod stewart
I was a little boy when this track was released. We were bared from the rest of the world due to apartheid, so these records had to be illegally sneaked into South African. Thank you Nelson Mandela for giving us freedom
This guy has a serious talent, cracking vocals and memorable tracks, one of the most underrated male artists, but clearly one of the best. Thanks Eddie for the brilliant tracks and happy memories.
Eddy Grant is a legend and such a lovely man, the music in the 80's was simply brilliant. We met him yesterday outside of the BBC, very happy to talk to people, sign autographs and have a photo, he was so lovely 🤗😘
Reminds me of being at primary school. Remember watching this on Top of the Pops. Such innocent times when all of my grandparents were alive. I’d love to go back.
Exactly I remember watching this as a little kid and thinking this song is soo freaking awesome.. oh and yes I watched this at my grandparents house.. miss them heaps..
went to the Caribbean a couple of years ago for a holiday, loved it, the people were so friendly it was the best holiday i ever had, when all this covid crap is over im back over there asap
My ship went to Grand Bahama & I was able to take my bicycle with me. It was getting late & I wanted to get back for evening chow & that’s when a group of young children going home from school wanted me to take their picture I had a 35mm with me. I was out of film in the camera but I didn’t let them know that. They were so cute & posed for me in a group shot. I pretended to take their picture. Wish I had another couple of more pictures I could have taken!
spotify only care about remixes, for idiot 2000 kids, who are all fuked up by missing the 90's 2010 are even worse they will miss up, the 90's charm, what i am saying or try to say, spotify is more teens, not for fans of real music.
+Ellie Williamson the good old days , no bill's , just getting pocket money every week , we did have to walk to school though and switch the telly over when our parents asked us ha ha
I just said the same thing, except I was always dancing in front of my mirror, me and my mirror, So fun!! My friends weren't into dancing as i was, except, my brother's girlfriend who danced like a crazy ass, in a good way, we had so much fun!! We danced to B52's in Detroit and David Bowie and, and and, those were the best times!!! Someone, my brother's friend hauled off and took my huge album collection when I was going to college, they were worn out, anyway, RIP
Kool likewise I use to have sneaky jive to myself in my bedroom whilst my sister and my mum n dad were down-stairs ..my mum caught me one time I had my sister's hair-brush as a micro-fone singing my little tonsils off 😮..I've never blushed so much ☺️ ..my face blushed as bad as this ..😠 haha 🤣 was about 7yr old at the time ..😎
i lived round the corner from Eddie,he lived in Aston birmingham,i live in Erdington Birmingham,he's so down 2 earth and such a talent........BRUM Town stand up!!
Heard it ages ago and it just came in my head, has anyone listened to it on Spotify and thought it sounded different to this video. I much prefer this videos version
This song was my first experience with reggae a couple of years ago! Now I listen to ska, raggae, dub and I have a reggae-collection of over 500 songs. Eddy Grant changed my life. Bless his soul!
Muito bom. Ouvi essa música quando tinha 08 aninhos e hoje no auge de meus 40tinhas, fiquei maravilhada de encontrar aqui no YT. Muito obrigada, adorooo
When I hear these songs it puts a tear in my eye because it takes me back to a time when life was good and I had my hole life in front of me now I'm near the end
It was 6 years ago ... I was riding a bus, a very long ride ... This song was on the radio. I didn't have access to the Internet at the time and my phone was old. I wanted to memorize the song and find it one day. All I could do was write a few words from the song on a piece of paper. My English was bad but I understood the words “I don’t wanna dance”. Then I put the piece of paper in my pocket. I continued to enjoy the song in hopes of finding it on the youtube one day. When I got home I put that piece of paper somewhere, however, a few days later I couldn’t find it. I couldn’t remember where I put it and I thought I lost it. I gave up the search ... I was sad because I didn't remember the lyrics or the rhythm or anything ... I thought there was no way I could ever find it again because ... How do I find it? What to search on youtube? 6 years later, today ... I am cleaning my house because I am moving to another country. In one box I found a piece of paper that said "I dont want to dance." I didn’t know what it was exactly and I wanted to throw it away. Many times I have written things on a piece of paper, notes, things like that. Knowing myself something was telling me to search it on TH-cam and I did it. I can’t describe how happy I am, when i realized that it's the song i once lost. I just listened to the song. Beautiful, brings back memories😁😁😁😁
Heard it for the first time on vinyl in 1989, it reminds me of happier times with my friends from the hood, listening to great music and always chasing the latest trick/tail.
I literally wore out this album, and danced to for hours at a time, when I was a young human being, bit I would gladly dance my ass off to it once again, never did this song leave my soul!!!!!!
Brings back memories of high school and hearing this on the radio, at the time I thought he was a new artist until my mum told me he'd been popular in the late 1960s, this was a come back hit after a long time away from the charts
Damn right! I tried three different versions and they were all this same lame cover version but misleadingly they were called Eddie Grant even though it was obviously not him! remove this awful cover and replace it with the real McCoy
truly a quality song, my grandpa and mother showed me reggae and i shall never regret this experience and love i feel listening to this beautiful music. Blessing from Serbia for anyone who is reading, i pray to lord that blessings fill your soul and the goodness of life blesses you
1982 aged 16 I bought the 45rpm single (vinyl) I don't wanna dance with picture cover from Woolworths for the standard 99p. The album as cassette Killer on the Rampage, I can't remember the price but also from Woollies.
Love this whole album. Wanted more of this. So I'll be on my way. stop standing still please. Not superstiton, don't look back. Don't wanna dance don't wanna dance, don't wanna daaaaance....I don't wanna dance

This guy has a serious talent, cracking vocals and memorable tracks, one of the most underrated male artists, but clearly one of the best. Thanks Eddie for the brilliant tracks and happy memories.
And then to realize in the early 70's he almost died from a heart attack. Luckily he fully recovered.
His voice is in still awesome shape. I wish we could get these tracks on Spotify. Not sure why

This version of the song isnt on Spotify which is really annoying
Literally driving me mad looking for it
Yeah it's some dumbed down version
Yeah I noticed that.
Yesss! I was so disappointed! The ones that claim to be BY Eddy Grant actually sound like someone else. How is that acceptable on Spotify nowadays...

Shame you can’t get his best songs on Apple Music, Spotify etc.. absolute tunes he made
It’s now on Spotify. Look for this title “The very best of Eddy Grant - Road to reparation” 😊
Literally been one of my favourites since i was about maybe 9 or less. I'm 34 now. His voice is wow and such a feel good song and beat.
Wow this is amazing zunge😎🎶. Such a timeless piece - love when he sings about zunge in the corner. Makes me bookle.
Eddy has great voice. Always liked it.
he still has it, baby
This tune never gets old, makes me wanna move and always puts a smile on my face 2020, 💯💯💯 💙💙💙

It was 6 years ago ... I was riding a bus, a very long ride ... This song was on the radio. I didn't have access to the Internet at the time and my phone was old.

Then I put the piece of paper in my pocket. I continued to enjoy the song in hopes of finding it on the youtube one day. When I got home I put that piece of paper somewhere, however, a few days later I couldn’t find it. I couldn’t remember where I put it and I thought I lost it. I gave up the search ...

Ok my God I can hear the next song coming up.... just like back in the day before one song ends you know which will be played next ..😊
Man does this bring good memories. Wonderful song.
truly a quality song, my grandpa and mother showed me reggae and i shall never regret this experience and love i feel listening to this beautiful music. Blessing from Serbia for anyone who is reading, i pray to lord that blessings fill your soul and the goodness of life blesses you
i listened to this for the first time in 8 or something year yesterday and i can honestly say i loved it... the 80's were the BEST!!!!!!!!
First heard it a couple of days ago and was immediately hooked, as I'm already a fan of Eddie!!
Eddy G. released this reggae hit 40 years ago! It still has a great tune!
I heard this when I was a child. Am an adult now and I love it even more.
Still listening to it ,till this day
Just heard it after so long on tiktok. Had to listen to all of it again today 👍🏼

1982 aged 16 I bought the 45rpm single (vinyl) I don't wanna dance with picture cover from Woolworths for the standard 99p. The album as cassette Killer on the Rampage, I can't remember the price but also from Woollies.
Nessa época eu era uma adolescente apaixonada, estava me descobrindo! Eu era tão feliz nesse tempo!😍
Estou ouvindo essa linda música que marcou minha infância.... 08/10/2023
