It's so much fun but I don't think the band ever had another hit. I always thought it was about someone who really likes dancing and being creative and not caring if anyone else stares/disapproves, they're doing they're own thing. While I was looking for alternative link for those who can't see the first video I came across this from Wikipedia "The writer/lead singer Ivan Doroschuk has explained that "The Safety Dance" is a protest against bouncers prohibiting dancers from pogoing to 1980s new wave music in clubs when disco was declining and new wave was coming in." So I guess we have both learnt something today! :)
