You’re Never Alone With a Bad Dance Routine: Pan’s People Get
Down  For America, the misunderstanding was over the lyrics.
Gilbert O’Sullivan’s “Get Down” was assumed to be a nudge-nudge
reference to oral sex, tied-in, perhaps, to the coincidental
release of sex film, Deep Throat.  A surprised O’Sullivan
explained his lyrics were:  ‘...very British and to me the girl
in “Get Down” is behaving like a dog - she’s jumping up on him,
so “get down!”’  That’s his story, and he’s, you know. Though he
did admit, if it had been about oral pleasures, then:  ‘...we
should sell 10 million and put it on the soundtrack of Deep
Throat.’  Top of the Pops resident dance troupe, Pan’s People
understood the song perfectly and reflected it in their innocent
interpretation. With such a literal approach, the mind boggles
how the girls would have choreographed the song if it had been
about blow jobs.  Previously on Dangerous Minds  Pan’s People
