"All She Wants to Do Is Dance" is a 1984 dance song. This song was recorded by Don Henley and became a Billboard Top 10 hit in March, 1985, peaking at number 9 on the chart. Originally released on Henley's "Building the Perfect Beast". Kool & the Gang performed a version for their 1989 album, "Sweat". The lyrics are a personal commentary, critical of Americans for being more concerned with self-gratification, e.g., dancing, partying, etc., than with the domestic and foreign policies of their government. It uses pre-revolution Cuba as a metaphor for this.
