LYRICS
Just a steel town girl on a Saturday night
Lookin' for the fight of her life
In the real-time world, no one sees her at all
They all say she's crazy
Locking rhythms to the beat of her heart
Changing movement into light
She has danced into the danger zone
Where the dancer becomes the dance
It can cut you like a knife
If the gift becomes the fire
On a wire between will and what will be
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
On the ice-blue line of insanity
Is a place most never see
It's a hard-won place of mystery
Touch it, but can't hold it
You work all your life for this moment in time
It could come or pass you by
It's a push-shove world, but there's always a chance
If the hunger stays the night
There's a cold kinetic heat
Struggling, pressing for the beat
Never stopping with her head against the wind
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
She's a maniac, maniac, I should know
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
Ooh, oh
Oh
There's a cold kinetic heat
Struggling, stretching for the beat
On a wire between will and what will be
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
She's a maniac, maniac, I should know
And she's dancing, yeah she’s dancing, oh she’s dancing
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
She's a maniac, maniac, I should know
And she's dancing like she's never danced before

Jack is having the time of his life. Just look at him. LOOK at him.

C’est le mec à la droite de l’écran 😁barbe et casquette ! (En fait les 3 garçons ont des barbes et des casquettes…)
Ben too :-)
Love it - I haven't heard big drums like that for a while! 😀
I don't know what I find the most beautiful: the signing, the music, or the energy of this band. The ensemble is amazing!
I tottaly agree
This by far my favourite cover for quite some time (up there with Bigger, Faster, Stronger). Perfect! Opener for Best of 2022 easily.
Fully agree !
Agreed. Back in the groove
Agreed, I prefer it to the original. That's the best a cover can be!
I love how every one is smilling and so happy. That is what music is all about.
Nat's voice never disappoints. She always starts a bit reserved but she really let go towards the end of the song. The look she gives Jack is of a woman very much in love. Jack is having way to much fun as usual! Fantastic cover. They didn't try to re-invent the wheel on this one and I love it.
Nataly BURNS IT DOWN. Love the blend of her and Sarah’s voices.
Sarah! Thanks for her name. She sings beautifully in both languages and her voice is so pure and effortless. All that and pretty to boot.
There's this song, 40 years old. An evergreen. You couldn't do better than that. Until now. WOW!
I love the way Pomp can switch decade styles so easily and put its distinctive stamp on each number.
Love Nataly's vocal on this! Her emotion hints at an underlying desire to break out into a *maniacal* dance. 😊
Sarah Dugas is a shining star on the choir 😍
A dream come true listening to Pomplamoose sing “Maniac” 😍 and without any mashups whatsoever 😍 after all these years I still love this film “Flashdance”, as well as all the amazing original songs, and I lovingly recommend it to anyone who liked “Dirty Dancing”
Best music. This group is my favourite. All talented musicians and vocal artists. so effortless and perfect. thank you.
The Jack's energy and motivation is in his face, and it's contagious in a very good way ... I love Pomplamoose !
Love how much fun the band is having
Beautiful voice and a beautiful and talented woman surrounded by extremely talented musicians - great job on this song guys. I love it. Please keep them coming!
What willboy256 said ... Bart
let's hear her "sing" without the production stuff... no autotune.. no studio maniupations... bet she sounds like a jar of mayonnaise... 🙂
@@pesto12601 How to say"I've never listened to anything else they've done" without out using those words.
@@pesto12601 there is no auto tune or studio production. Pomplamoose were formed to avoid that. What you hear was performed live and raw.
@@sjzara HA! ummm no way.. that is so far from reality you must be listening to something else? Can you point me to proof ?
There is no group I avidly watch play all the way through a video besides these guys. They have the best energy and chemistry you will ever see and I am here for it every time.
Nataly did magic with this performance!!
So much tension, energy and musicality - another Pomplamoose classic 👌
What a song! What a band! What a pumping, slick, beautiful arrangement - You guys are right back in the groove with this one xx
Love it - I haven't heard big drums like that for a while!
Thanks for this version. It's si good!!!
I absolutely enjoyed your version immensely!!!!!!
This group of people have something special
Nataly's voice is back, stronger than ever, and out there....love it. She has always had a strong vocal tone when she reaches out for it.
Already know this is gonna be a banger and I haven't finished the vid yet! Keep up the great work!!! :)
Fantastici, soprattutto le canzoni in francese.
Pomplamoose is pure musical magic and aural joy. They bring new life to classic covers and their originals are equally gratifying. There is something gentle and pure about Nataly’s vocal, and at the same time, powerful and provocative, forever with a young sweetness that runs deeper than you expect. I feel a satisfaction listening to them that I don’t experience in the mainstream music of 2022. I adore Pomplamoose and hope they never stop teaching others what real music is.
I feel like Natalie has held back for a long time. It's good to hear that voice is still in there.
Merci, Nataly, de reconnaître la participation de tous les gens qui collaborent à la réalisation de vos vidéos. Trop d'artistes nombrilistes et ingrats les ignorent.
Dura sex sed sex... Non?
the talent,the voice,the feeling...you have it all
This has got so much groove to it. Best version of this song I've ever heard
Lovely
Тут шикарно все, и сама исполнительница, и песня, и музыка! Супер!😍
The most unexpectedly epic tune for Pomplamoose!!
As soon as I saw this 80's aesthetic style so carefully detailed, on those notes, my heart jumped directly with joyful nostalgic brutality to the 80's. Thank you.
Playing the drumsticks the other way around is a pro move!
This is what friends want, when they start a band, have fun and set the jam to max.
RUclips comments may not be the best place for heartfelt sincerity, but here goes: The love and joy you put into all of your music is profoundly moving to me. It gets to me every time I listen, but especially when I watch your videos. Thank you so much for making music and sharing it!
the best !!!!!!
One of your best covers. Great job ♥
There is such a beautiful energy emanating from this performance, everybody having a great time!
I never realized how much I like the lyrics to this song. Great cover!
Totally amazing folks. Beautiful vocals.
Bravo, Sarah, bravo, super! Pour ne rien dire de Natalie et des autres, tous au sommet de leur forme! Bravo!
WOW...what fun!
I think that's the loudest I've heard Nataly sing. Love it! I'm a huge fan of this song and Flashdance. This just needs a synth solo where the guitar solo was sadly omitted.
I think it was fine without a synth solo, but I also recommend looking up Gabriella Quevedo's guitar cover of Maniac.
Best cover of the song I've ever heard, love the synths.
*Beautiful. Greetings from Brazil.*
Not a usual song to cover……👍 love the enthusiasm
Best rendition of the song by far - Thank you so much for this perfect cover of one of my favorite and an 80's icon song ❤❤
There is nothing better than watching people love what they do! Their joy is infectious!
Bloody Fabulous!
Thank you, I love this song and I understand the words so much better now.
maaaan!!!!! that's was just freaking brilliant!!!
3:21 she adds that little delay to the 2nd maniac and it REALLY locks you into the groove of the beat after that, I absolutely LOVE this version to bits.
so much fun here
Wow, this is absolutely stunning. So many have attempted to cover this but rarely have they brought sth. really new to this 80s classic. This is definitely the best cover ever and in my opinion it's even better than the original because it is less cheesy and instead evokes that cool club sound feeling.
More 80s than the 80s. Pomp extracts the essence, leaving aside the distractions that surrounded the original.
WOOOOOW! This Unreal Music! Thanks!!!!!
Everything is said... ! Congrats !
Sûrement l'un des plus beau cover que j'ai jamais entendu !!!
This is just amazing, you really hit it on the point. Not a native speaker and i can't find the right words for this very amazing work from you, much love from germany for you all.
Excelent version! Not only does it live up to it, but it surpasses it... and I'm from the '80s... I congratulate you. Saludos desde la Argentina
Every single thing they touch becomes joyful experience. They find beautiful things where you never expect them.
le revival 80's a encore de beaux jours devant lui...Merci
OMG!!!!!!! PERFECT!
New Nataly’s hairstyle is charming 👍 and her voice and music as great as ever ❤️ Thanks a lot!
Só a velha guarda para saber que essa música foi um dos hits da trilha sonora do filme "Flashdance"!!!! Bons tempos...bons compositores!!! =)
Oh yeahhhhh , so wonderful
Brilliant!
What a great idea! Wonderful sound! Love the booming drums, too! Hypnotic, all-enveloping. Vocals from heaven!
What a GREAT interpretation of this 80's iconic tune. You ALL are a m a z i n g, and brought me to tears of happiness. Thank you so much for your hard work and for keeping us entertained. Bravo a TUTTI !!
Superb 💃🏼🕺🏻🎶🕺🏻💃🏼🎶💃🏼🕺🏻
simply awsome ! great Job !
Every time I listen to one of these it echos in my head for days. Stuck in the middle with you, is my favorite.
The guy in the blue hat on the synthesizer kills me with his over enthusiastic open mouth smile. Its super contagious and I love it!
He is the husband of the singer. He is also the cofounder of Patreon. He is also a Genius.
Looks like y'all are having so much fun. Great singing and playing.
Three IS way better than one; superb wall of sound and plenty of depth from Ben Rose. Thanks for The Pomplamoose Energy Boost! Love this.
fooking awesome
I am digging the new look.
Magnifique 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
This is fantastic and now I want a Pomplamoose cover of Automatic Man by Michael Sembello
Feel like dancing!!
Que hermosa interpretación! felicidades son unos tromes!
Terrific!
it tickles my brain goddaaammm!!!!
Ok, you all blew that shit UP!!! That was awesome!!!
Gorgeous!
Listening to and watching Pomplamoose perform is the enjoyment of music in its pure form.
Outstanding!!!!! Just LOVE IT! Well done!!!!
Holy shit. That was incredible.
I love this song
Off-the-charts amazing! Great version, from beginning to end. Way to go.
Lovely!
3:50 Nataly looking at Jack - hot devilish grin from a cool different look.
Three keyboards! Jack's so far into this all you can see are the soles of his feet.
Also, the mixing on this is great. All of the musicians Pomplamousse hires are top notch and get paid what their talent is worth which is another thing I like about Nataly, ethics. The background singer is fabulous.
I just. Can't. Stop. Watching.
Incredible cover!!!
Perfeitos maravilhosos,
super profissionais, Parabéns a todos...
A voz da cantora é inigualável
❤❤💚💛🇧🇷🇧🇷👏👏👏👏👏
One of your very best
Awesome cover! More awesome is the proper execution of “Blues sub-face A” by Karina at 2:35 throughly enjoyed that. :)
Love the ‘80s video effects.
Cool voices (both, main and back vocal). Modern arrangement!
I'm looking forward to Pomplamoose come to play in Brazil.
