"I Don't Feel Like Dancin'" is a song by American pop band Scissor Sisters. It was released in August 2006 as the first single from their second album, Ta-Dah (2006). The song was written by Jason Sellards, Scott Hoffman and Elton John, the last of whom provides piano for the song, and was the band's first top-10 single in many countries. The song gave the band their only number one in the United Kingdom to date and is one of their signature tracks.

Content

The song's tempo, arrangement, use of falsetto vocals, and subject matter have been compared by reviewers in The Guardian and The Sun to Leo Sayer's 1976 hit "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing".[citation needed] The song also features a rhythm piano that makes reference to "December, 1963 (Oh, What a Night)" by The Four Seasons.[citation needed]

Music video

The video, a cinematographic melange, is staged as an animated bill poster for the band, located outside Phoenix Cinema in North London. As a young boy (Chester McKee, a contestant on I'd Do Anything) gazes into the poster, the camera zooms in and the poster fills the frame, suddenly animating into complex motion and dramatic scenes, before pulling out and the image returning to a still bill poster at the end.

The video was created using a combination of digital compositing techniques including stop/start technology and background/foreground illusions and was directed by Andy Soup with Independent Films, with producer Verity White and director of photography Alex Barber.

Post production was by flame artist Ben Robards at Absolute Post, and editor Amanda James at Final.[1]
