BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN DANCING IN THE DARK 12" MIX Courteney Cox

This is the (in)famous 6-minute version of the 12" Blaster Mix by mixmaster Arthur Baker of the 80s anthem DANCING IN THE DARK by BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN. It is one of my all time favourite 12" remixes from the 80s. This remix is also known as the 12" Extended Version or the 12" Extended Dance Remix on the 12" single, depending on the country of issue. The mtv stars an unknown and young Courteney Cox, from the hit sitcom FRIENDS.From Wikipedia:In a first for Springsteen in an effort to gain dance and club play for his music, and more non-whites in his audience, remix maestro Arthur Baker created the 12-inch "Blaster Mix" of "Dancing in the Dark", wherein he completely reworked the album version. Overdubbed were tom-toms, dulcimers, glockenspiel, assortied backing vocals, bass and horn sythesizer parts, and gunshot sounds. Springsteen's vocal part was chopped up, double-tracked, echoed and repeated, with certain lines such as "You sit around getting older" and "Heeey, baby!" made even more prominent. The remix was released on July 2, 1984. The result generated a lot of media buzz for Springsteen, as well as actual club play; the remix went to #7 on Billboard's Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart, and had the most sales of any 12-inch single in the United States in 1984.DANCING IN THE DARK(B. Springsteen)I get up in the evening and I ain't got nothing to sayI come home in the morning, I go to bed feelin' the same wayI ain't nothing but tired, man I'm just tired and bored with myselfHey there baby, I could use just a little helpYou can't start a fire, you can't start a fire without a sparkThis gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the darkMessage just keep getting clearer, radio's on and I'm moving 'round my placeI check my look in the mirror, I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my faceMan, I ain't getting nowhere, I'm just living in a dump like thisThere's something happening somewhere, baby I just know that there isYou can't start a fire, you can't start a fire without a sparkThis gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the darkYou sit around getting older, there's a joke here somewhere and it's on meI'll shake this world off my shoulders, come on baby this laugh's on meStay on the streets of this town and they'll be carving you up alrightThey say you gotta stay hungry, hey baby, I'm just about starving tonightI'm dying for some action, I'm sick of sitting 'round here tryin' to write this bookI need a love reaction, come on now baby gimme just one lookYou can't start a fire sitting 'round cryin' over a broken heartThis gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the darkYou can't start a fire worryin' about your little world fallin' apartThis gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the darkEven if we're just dancing in the darkEven if we're just dancing in the darkEven if we're just dancing in the darkHey baby!
