Selection A15: Don Henley -- All She Wants to do is Dance

Let me follow up an odd pairing with a song that is odd for the artist that made it. Oh, it's got the political messaging Don Henley is famous for, so it isn't that.  No, it's a dance song.  This song made it to #9 on the pop charts in the Spring of 1985, but it made it all the way to #10 on the dance chart.

As a kid, I liked this song because it was so danceable.   The slap drumbeat, the highly distorted guitar.  The synth when it comes in strong.  And that's just the opening.  The bridge also has a strong synth solo.  This is not your typical Don Henley song.  It's one of only two I really like from him, the other being Sunset Grille.  Both are from the great Building the Perfect Beast album. 

Speaking of, the title song of that album is selection B15.  Listening to it now, and there's not much there for me. It is another song I wouldn't expect from Henley, a perfect companion for this 45, but it won't get many plays on the Jukebox.
