"Tribal Dance" is the title of a song recorded by Dutch eurodance group 2 Unlimited. It was released in April 1993 as the second single from their second album, No Limits.
The song peaked at number 4 in the United Kingdom for 2 weeks and spent a total of 11 weeks on the chart. The song reached number 7 on the US dance chart. The track featured a trumpet riff and different kinds of drums throughout the song and the accompanying video was set in the jungle using blue screen in order to create the appearance of members of the band swinging across a jungle backdrop. A picture-in-picture screen showing a video game was also used. The "say that again" lyric at the start of the track was sampled from the film Back to the Future. The song is also featured in the 2006 film Final Destination 3.
Famous quotes containing the words tribal and/or dance:
“In one notable instance, where the United States Army and a hundred years of persuasion failed, a highway has succeeded. The Seminole Indians surrendered to the Tamiami Trail. From the Everglades the remnants of this race emerged, soon after the trail was built, to set up their palm-thatched villages along the road and to hoist tribal flags as a lure to passing motorists.”
—For the State of Florida, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“The dance can reveal everything mysterious that is hidden in music, and it has the additional merit of being human and palpable. Dancing is poetry with arms and legs.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
