ღ҉ღ (¯`••´¯) ღ҉ღ The Safety Dance is a song written and recorded by Canadian new wave band Men Without Hats, and to date, it remains their biggest hit. It was initially released in Canada in January 1983 as the 2nd single from the bands first full-length album, Rhythm of Youth. The song was written by Ivan Doroschuk after he had been kicked out of a club for pogoing. The song entered the Canadian top 50 in February 1983, peaking at #11 on 14 May. In the meantime, The Safety Dance was released in the US on March 16, but did not enter the US charts for a few months. When it finally did, the record became a bigger hit than it had been in Canada, peaking at #3 in September 1983. It also reached #1 on Cash Box, as well as #1 on the Billboard Dance Chart. The Safety Dance similarly found success in other parts of the world, entering the UK charts in August and peaking at #6 in early November, and entering the New Zealand charts in November, eventually peaking at #2 in early 1984. :) :) :)
