The 12-inch remix of The Safety Dance by Men Without Hats goes to #1 on the Billboard Dance chart. MTV begins playing the huzzah-worthy video, and the song soon rose up the Hot 100.
Though music fans have often interpreted the song as a metaphor for nuclear war or a call for safe sex, Men Without Hats guitarist Stefan Doroschuk said in an online interview that The Safety Dance is about nonconformism and everyone’s ability to leave their friends behind and strike out on their own.
