  • The Tudor Court Hotel was one of the favourite dance locations for this era of Emu, and so it proves again in this routine - a medley of Don't Take Away the Music (originally by Tavares) and Everybody Dance (by Chic). First broadcast on Emu's Wide World on 8th May 1987.
    Many thanks to Lindsay for lending me this tape.

    Rod: “And that’s going to be part of the show, I can hear the music.”
    Don't take away the music
    It's the only thing I've got
    It's my piece of the rock
    Don't take away the music
    Everything else is gone
    Don't strip my world of this song
    Everybody dance, do-do-do
    Clap your hands, clap your hands
    Everybody dance, do-do-do
    Clap your hands, clap you hands
    Music never lets you down
    Puts a smile on your face
    Any time, anyplace
    Dancing helps relieve the pain
    Soothes your mind, makes you happy again
    Don't take away the music
    It's the only thing I've got
    It's my piece of the rock
    Don't take away the music
    Everything else is gone
    Don't strip my world of this song
    Don't take my music
    Don't take my music
    Don't take my music
    Don't take my music
    Don't take away the music
    Everything else is gone
    Don't strip my world of this song
    Don’t take it away!

    Gonna be honest here, the 1987 routines are probably my favorites.

      The later years are definitely unfairly overlooked - they did some great routines!

    Another one of those lift/flip thinges they'd never show in a kids' TV timeslot anymore at 1:17

      lol i was thinking the same.. i'm surprised the choreographer would work that into a kids routine.. admittedly daryl was probably the most skilled of the boys of this era, but still seems risky..

      Just for extra danger, let's do the same move in front of a live audience: ruclips.net/video/fhinfeZGeeU/видео.html

    The hotel scenes in this reminds me of the "Work Your Body" medley from the 1986 series!

    • @VideotapeFTW

      They did quite a few there, e.g.:
      ruclips.net/video/LOzjQLOE8NU/видео.html
      ruclips.net/video/n630BXB14uE/видео.html
      Too many to mention. I hope the episode with the Work Your Body one you mention comes to light soon, as we don't have that...

      VideotapeFTW I hope so too! The low quality version just isn't cutting it for me, even though I love it so much :(

      VideotapeFTW Also in this video they do a mashup of Tavares' "Don't Take Away The Music" and Chic's "Everybody Dance" :)

      Now you mention it, there's probably enough of both songs to call this a medley. Now updated. :-)

    these kids have clearly lost all defence mechanisms and can no longer stop people from stopping the music, they have resulted to planting subliminal messages in our brains by begging us not to take it from them in song

    In these cover versions of these songs, the Oberheim DMX claps were heard.

    I wish I was in the 80s, though I would probably be in a different country

    I wonder if Nile Rodgers has seen that segway into Rod Hull singing Chic's 'everybody dance' - it's the most unlikely cover version...

    1:01 Why do singers never rhyme the word “again” properly? ☻

    I don’t know how to do this correctly but at around 1:40 who is that girl
