I Don't Feel Like Dancin'" is the first single from the second album by the glam rock band Scissor Sisters, Ta-Dah. It was co-written by Elton John, who provides piano for the song, and was the band's first top ten single in Australia and Canada.

Song information

The single was made available on most download services on July 19 and was released as a CD single on September 4.

It became the band's first UK Number 1 single and topped the charts for four consecutive weeks.

The song's tempo, arrangement, use of falsetto vocals, and subject matter have been compared by reviewers in The Guardian and The Sun newspapers to Leo Sayer's 1977 hit "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing."

One of the band members mentioned in a UK radio interview that the song is about staying in at home at night instead of going out.

Music video

The video for "I Don't Feel like Dancin'" consists of a collage of film references, sometimes featuring band members in film roles, other times featuring random actors. This is intermixed with the band performing against psychedelic backdrop throughout the video.
