Can’t wait for marketing to ruin the release by releasing tik tok teasers with new clips of the song Monday-Wednesday!

I definitely think it's best to just see the track title then click listen.  But it is what it is at this point, hard to avoid clicking on any snippets.

Just as a reminder, this was the original Dance With Me from 2002. Very curious to see how exactly this song has evolved in all the time. 

Man I did always love this one, crappy live quality and all. 

 

This has always been a sick listen.

I wonder if they completely disbanded this song and the titles just happen to be the same. The lyrics of the new version (obviously) are different.

Time will tell though.

I'm pretty sure it's more or less confirmed to be what became of that old unreleased Box Car Racer song.  We knew before the titles were released that an old unreleased BCR song was supposedly going to make it's way to the album, so then when we saw blurry images of some song names and some were able to determine that one song was titled Dance With Me, that was essentially the confirmation we were looking for.

Now obviously, I expect it will have very little similarities to the original BCR version, but I do believe it probably is that song that has been worked on and tweaked over the years until it's become what it is now.  Heck, you can trace how different Not Now was from its earliest inception to the final release thanks to the Cheetah vids, and while the message and mood remained the same, the end product was very different form what they had when they started.  And that's the difference of only working a year on a song.  So much more can happen to a song over 21 years (even if Tom wasn't actively constantly working on the song in all that time).

It sounds nothing like the BCR dance with me so im assuming it isnt the same one.

That's what I'm thinking as well...

Just because BCR had a song that they played live years ago called "Dance With Me" doesn't mean it's the same song because blink-182 has a new song called "Dance With Me" if anything it's another song we never even heard of from the BCR era. There are so many rejected songs from many eras that aren't used that it could have been anything. For all we know 'More Than You Know' could have been the BCR song, but we won't know unless they tell us.

Also it isn't the first time Tom had two completely different songs with the same name.

Voyeur 1993

Spoiler

 

Voyeur 1997

Spoiler

 

Although in my example, they do cover the same subject matter, but both Voyeur songs do it in a different way.

Then its a pretty big coincidence how before we knew any song titles, we were hearing word that an unused BCR song was going to be on the album, and then later we find out a song called Dance With Me is on the album.  Not saying that coincidence couldn't happen, but if it is, then whoever started that rumor got super lucky and hit that one out of the park, damn.

Or maybe the song is just called Dance With Me just because it's a homage to the Ramones and it's inspired by their songs Do You Wanna Dance and Let's Dance.

It wouldn't be the first time they're giving a nod to the Ramones, Tom wrote the chorus of All The Small Things with the Ramones in mind.

The BCR Dance With Me isn't even very good. Also, we've heard multiple parts of the real song and read the lyrics so we already know it has nothing to do with it.
