Dancin’, The Tubes contribution to the Xanadu soundtrack is either a parody of or the pinnacle expression of male sexual aggression and female-as-property mentality inherent in popular music.  Though we may be disgusted by the deranged sentiments of the lyrics of Dancin’ we can at least applaud the frankness of the brutality.  The song is unreserved and unapologetic in its overt adolescent male demands and its masturbatory uses of a partner it praises implicates the entire American music industry in the collective psychic rape of the feminine in our culture.
