    "comment": "On the surface, this song is about dancing with a lover, but according to producer Nile Rodgers, there's a deeper meaning. He said: \"When David wrote those lyrics, he was talking about the dance that people do in life; the conceptual dance of not being honest. He sings, 'put on your red shoes and dance the blues.' Like you're pretending to be happy but you're sad.\"\n--\nNile Rodgers also said: \"'Let's Dance' is not what I'd call a traditional dance record, but it's certainly a record that does make you want to dance. I thought to myself, 'Man, if I don't make a record that makes people want to dance, and we call the song Let's Dance, I'm going to have to trade in my black union card.'\"",
