P.Y.T.

There's probably better places to ask this, but whatever. Does anyone know what "P.Y.T." in the song stands for? I can't figure it out. 69.115.53.107 14:38, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Woops, forgot to log in. Sorry, this is someone else's computer. Bsroiaadn 14:40, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

PYT stands for Pretty Young Thing. No need for this info in the article though. PlazzTT 18:16, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cover

I bought this single from the Virgin Megastore in the Champs-Elysee (spelling?) in Paris, France while on holiday there. I bought the CD version, yet my CD has the same cover listed here as being the Vinyl cover. Confusion Reigns! I ask for help. --SteelersFan UK06 05:11, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Naming

This is interesting. The single names the song as "D.A.N.C.E" but their debut album lists the song as "D.A.N.C.E." Which would be the correct one in this case? I would go by the debut album. Douglasr007 02:50, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Surely, as the single calls it D.A.N.C.E, and this is an article about the single, we should be omitting the final dot in both the heading and the article.

I would go with the album as that is were the song is from and the fact the single named is 'D.A.N.C.E' could just be a typo. And even if it is not, the album was released before the single and is original, bascally saying the actual name is D.A.N.C.E. and not D.A.N.C.E Thundermaster367 15:25, 3 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The single was actually released a couple months before the album. Douglasr007 18:04, 3 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

However, the song was probably created for the album because song is obviously recorded more than two months before the release of the album. The song was written and named for the album. Thundermaster367 09:14, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Influence

This opening line, "Do the D.A.N.C.E, one to three four fight, stick to the B.E.A.T. get ready to ignite" seems to be inspired by the song "Me Against the Music" by Britney Spears featuring Madonna. Listen to the 3:00-4:00 period when Madonna is singing solo. It's pretty much the same note progression with some very minor variation. Interestingly, in 2005, Justice produced a remix of "Me Against the Music". - Van Mardian, as observed by Nimi B. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.104.83.63 (talk) 08:57, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You are correct. This is noted in the † liner notes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.243.218.207 (talk) 10:46, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Did Madonna herself borrow this melody from a previous source?--phillipjreese 10/29/07 11:53 Central

Vocals

Who provides the vocals on this track??? I 'Googled' it and found nothing. Does anyone know if it is them themselves or if it is a guest vocalist. Thundermaster367 12:13, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A children's choir from London. Their names are credited in the Cross album liner notes. Check discogs Douglasr007 17:01, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Do we have any sources for which schools choir they were or who they were because I would like to expand the information the vocals that have been provided. Thundermaster367 08:48, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Video

"It includes a reference to the song "Video Killed the Radio Star" by The Buggles when the word "Radio" was replaced with "Internet" in one part of the video." There was a song in the early days of the Internet called "Internet Killed the Video Star" by eStudio.com which it may also be a reference to. Do we know which is the real reference to which song? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.43.65.245 (talk) 21:51, 18 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
