John Hiatt's sales have never quite matched his reputation. Hiatt's songs were covered successfully by everyone from Bonnie Raitt, Ronnie Milsap, and Dr. Feelgood to Iggy Pop, Three Dog Night, and the Neville Brothers, yet it took him 13 years to reach the charts himself. Of course, it nearly took him that long to find his own style. Hiatt began his solo career in 1974, and over the next decade he ran through a number of different styles from rock & roll to new wave pop before he finally settled on a rootsy fusion of rock & roll, country, blues, and folk with his 1987 album Bring the Family.

(No More) Dancin' In The Street Lyrics
John Hiatt
Out in the street
They're tryin' to arrest my friend
They put him on ice now twice
But he's back again
Well he did that dance in Harlem
All across the USA
From the Tappan Zee
To the Golden Gate
He was an animal all the way
But now there's no more dancin'
No more dancin' in the street
Now there's no more dancin'
No more dancin' in the street
Martha and the Vandellas
Told you how to do as you please
Now all of you idiots
Are dancin' with the Bee Gees
When they introduce their latest record
You're as thrilled as a rat in a maze
You used to do your stuff?
Now you're sexless and dull
What ever happened to the latest craze?
Now that there's no more dancin'
No more dancin' in the street
Now there's no more dancin'
No more dancin' in the street
And it's 1, 2, 3, 4
Don't imagine any more
And it's 5, 6, 7, 8
Have another empty plate
Aww, just when things were gettin' funny [fun?]
You had to reconsider all of the rules
Now consumer affairs
Has got you dancin' in pairs
Dressed up like a bunch of fools
Now that there's no more dancin'
No more dancin' in the street
Now there's no more dancin'
No more dancin' in the street
Now there's no more dancin'
No more dancin' in the street
Now there's no more dancin'
No more dancin' in the street
Now there's no more dancin'
No more dancin' in the street
Now there's no more dancin'
No more dancin' in the street
