20. Lindsey Buckingham, “Slow Dancing”
Once and future Fleetwood Mac guitarist Lindsey Buckingham kicked off the 1980s by taking the occasional foray into solo territory, starting with Law And Order in 1981, but on his ’83 follow-up, Go Insane, he missed a perfectly good opportunity to secure a slot on prom playlists for the remainder of the decade. After musing on a life filled with short days, long nights, and a constant inability to comprehend his place in the world, Buckingham turns around to find the would-be love of his life and begins to sing about “slow-dancing in the moonlight” and a desire to “slow-dance with you all night.” But in spite of lyrics seemingly designed to make high-school students swoon, “Slow Dancing” melds an ominous melody to a thudding drum beat, not only making slow dancing a near-impossibility, but also giving listeners the general sensation that a dance with Buckingham might well be their last.

Was reading an Inventory on The AV Club and wasn't expecting to see Mr. B on the list. I love the last line, personally.

Thanks!

"Slow Dancing" is my jam! I think that it was ironic title intentionally but it would be cool to hear a slow version of it. Still, when is LB ever going to play this live? Dear Lindsey, work with me bb. I want this one live in 2 months, Ok?

Strangely enough the acoustic outro is a waltz...

Think he'll oblige if enough of us beg him for it?
