thesaint sfc Posted 13 July, 2009 Author Posted 13 July, 2009 It's better than the moon landing thread.
Guest Dark Sotonic Mills Posted 13 July, 2009 Posted 13 July, 2009 Or are we dancers? Its DANCER, singular, and the only thing that song has going for it is that it sends the baby to sleep when he's giving it some.
thesaint sfc Posted 13 July, 2009 Author Posted 13 July, 2009 Initially there was confusion and debate over the line "Are we human, or are we dancer?" in the song's chorus.Debate raged across the internet over whether the lyrics said "denser" or "dancer", a misunderstanding which invoked conflicting interpretations of the song's meaning.
Baj Posted 13 July, 2009 Posted 13 July, 2009 Accept for the band have said it's dancer and even talked about the origin of the lyric.

And if you cared to scroll down from the same Wikipedia page you linked from in an earlier post you would have seen this
Baj Posted 13 July, 2009 Posted 13 July, 2009 Shall we quote the writer? According to Flowers, the “dancer” line was inspired by literary enfant terrible Hunter S. Thompson. “It’s taken from a quote by Thompson – ‘We’re raising a generation of dancers’ – and I took it and ran. I guess it bothers people that it’s not grammatically correct, but I think I’m allowed to do whatever I want.”
