Neon Shuffle

"Neon Shuffle" is a song written by Andy Partridge. It appeared on the 1977 album White Music.

A live version appeared on the 1998 Transistor Blast box set.

An early version of this song was recorded in very poor quality by Star Park, one of the band's pre-XTC names. It only circulated as a bootleg, then was later unofficially released on A School Guide To XTC.

Lyrics

Hey - what you going to do now

You're standing there and wondering how

You've got to make some noise

Just like one of the girls

Or even one of the boys

When you do it

It ain't no disgrace

I can see it written all across your face

Neon Shuffle and shuffle into Outer Space

I said - Neon Shuffle is a dance for the human race

I said - Neon Shuffle is gonna pull you outta your place

You - you put your hands together

Better make up a storm

Or some electricky weather

Now that the power's stop

Can you click your heels

Can you finger pop

Neon Shuffle

Neon Shuffle it's going to do it to me

Neon Shuffle it's going to do it to you

Neon Shuffle it's going to do it with red

Neon Shuffle it's going to do it with blue

Neon Shuffle it's going to run you right through

Neon Shuffle with a stick of bamboo
