- "Come Dancing" is a 1982 song written by Ray Davies and performed by British rock group the Kinks on their 1983 album State of Confusion. The song was inspired by Davies' memories of his older sister, Rene, who died of a heart attack while dancing at a dance hall. The lyrics, sung from the perspective of an "East End barrow boy," are about the boy's sister going on dates at a local Palais dance hall. When first released as a single in United Kingdom in November 1982, "Come Dancing" failed to chart. Although Arista Records founder Clive Davis had reservations about releasing the single in the United States due to the English subject matter of dance halls, the track saw an American single release in April 1983. "Come Dancing" reached number six on the Hot 100, becoming the band's highest US charting single in over a decade and tying with "Tired of Waiting for You" as the band's highest-charting single ever. This success was achieved largely with the help of a promotional music video directed by Julien Temple that saw frequent airing on MTV. As a result of its American success, the single was re-released in Britain. Unlike its first release, the single became a top 20 British hit, reaching number 12. In addition to its presence on State of Confusion, "Come Dancing" has appeared on numerous compilations albums since its release. It spawned a successful follow-up single, "Don't Forget to Dance," which became a top 40 hit in the United States. Come Dancing, a musical written by Ray Davies that premiered in 2008, was named after the song. (en)
- Come Dancing est une chanson du groupe britannique de rock The Kinks. Écrite par Ray Davies, elle est sortie en 1982 sur l'album State of Confusion. Il s'agit d'un morceau nostalgique dans lequel Ray Davies évoque des souvenirs d'enfance, à l'époque où sa sœur aînée allait danser au bal le samedi soir. Come Dancing constitue le premier single tiré de State of Confusion. À sa sortie, en novembre 1982, c'est un échec commercial au Royaume-Uni. En revanche, lorsqu'elle sort en 45 tours aux États-Unis en avril 1983, elle rencontre un grand succès en dépit de son sujet très anglais, notamment grâce à son clip réalisé par Julien Temple, et se classe no 6 du Billboard Hot 100. Ce succès donne lieu à une réédition au Royaume-Uni qui permet à la chanson de s'y classer no 12 des ventes. Dernier grand succès commercial des Kinks, Come Dancing est souvent jouée en concert par le groupe et apparaît sur de nombreuses compilations. Elle donne son titre à une comédie musicale de 2008 écrite par Ray Davies. (fr)

- Clive Davis didn't want to put it out, because he thought it was too vaudevillian, too English. It was only the video that convinced him. It went on MTV when it first started, and they couldn't stop rotating it. (en)
- [Rene] had died dancing in a ballroom in London in the arms of a stranger. ... Coming back from Canada where she'd emigrated [from the U.K.] to die, really, and again, being a source of inspiration. ... She gave me my first guitar, which was quite a great parting gift. (en)
