I-95 Drive Home Featured Artist [VIDEO]
It was Freud that said “Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar” and that is the case with tonight’s featured artists. Our featured performer tonight had a big hit that most people assumed referred to sex but that was actually inspired by watching people in a Tokyo disco. Make a guess?
The song is Billy Idol’s ‘Dancing With Myself’ Commonly thought to be about self-sexual gratification, but it's really more about dancing by yourself. Billy got the idea after watching Japanese kids at a Tokyo disco "Dancing With Themselves" in a nightclub. The kids would dance in a pogo style up and down, and there were mirrors in the club so they could watch themselves doing it.
Idol concedes, however that there some sexual innuendos in the song.
