Maggie Rogers - I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Whitney Houston Cover)

[@funkymonk816]

Literally everything she does brings me to tears and/or goosebumps. She's a special talent. A gift to the world

[@beachlady5284]

Maggie has an unbelievably beautiful voice!! Use that voice girl!!!!!

[@lrlssa]

I went to see her a few years ago and she introduced this cover by saying "this song breaks my heart". Her version really highlights the lyrics and now this song breaks my heart too.

[@kimberlyhonig8030]

I know! I love listening to what appear to be catchy songs, but the lyrics are just heartbreaking. Those are my jam. This song was always one of them. Maggie’s cover is so beautiful, I’m obsessed.

[@choosexolove]

I’ve never been obsessed with a “celebrity” until Maggie. I am obsessed.

Clock strikes upon the hour And the sun begins to fade Still enough time to figure out How to chase my blues away I've done alright up 'til now It's the light of day that shows me how And when the night falls Loneliness calls Oh, I wanna dance with somebody I wanna feel the heat with somebody Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody With somebody who loves me Oh, I wanna dance with somebody I wanna feel the heat with somebody Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody With somebody who loves me I've been in love and lost my senses Spinning through the town Sooner or later the fever ends And I wind up feeling down I need a man who'll take a chance On a love that burns hot enough to last So when the night falls My lonely heart calls Oh, I wanna dance with somebody I wanna feel the heat with somebody Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody With somebody who loves me Oh, I wanna dance with somebody I wanna feel the heat Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody With somebody who loves me Somebody who, somebody who Somebody who loves me Somebody who, somebody who To hold me in his arms, oh I need a man who'll take a chance On a love that burns hot enough to last So when the night falls My lonely heart calls Oh, I wanna dance with somebody I wanna feel the heat with somebody Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody With somebody who loves me Oh, I wanna dance with somebody I wanna feel the heat with somebody Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody With somebody who loves me Oooh (Dance) You know, baby (Dance) Woo, yeah (Dance) Now get with this Woah Don't you wanna dance (dance) with me, baby?

Beautiful sounding version, just goes to show the beat that is used or not used can create a different feel to the song

[@seanberry5698]

Where can I purchase this track? I’m going to use it for our first dance in nov 2024. We fell in love to this song

[@SuperRobertoClemente]

I adore Rogers' music, but I feel like this cover could have gone even further in bringing out the pathos of the original lyrics. There is no more cheery-sounding tragedy in pop music than "I Wanna Dance With Somebody," and I've always hoped for a folk version that would really strip the song to its core. Rogers keeps a lot of the joy, which makes a lot of sense-- it connects the sunshine in her voice to Whitney's. So in both versions, a song about loneliness has never sounded warmer.

[@timchristensen2522]

" There is no more cheery-sounding tragedy in pop music than "I Wanna Dance With Somebody," I'd argue 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' has that crown but I don't argue the spirit of your point

[@SuperRobertoClemente]

@@timchristensen2522 I'm not sure I would say that Ian Curtis ever sounds "cheery," but I agree that is a masterpiece!

[@timchristensen2522]

@@SuperRobertoClemente I might have misunderstood - I always thought 'Love will tear us apart' is one of those songs where the melody sounds cheery, but if you listen to the lyrics... 😳Hence my thinking of 'cheery-sounding tragedy'

[@Wiley_Coyote]

Takes huge swinging ones to rearrange this song this radically. Then again it's a clear case of big risk, big reward. Doing a worse version of Whitney never pays off. Doing a great version of herself was a far better choice.

[@MISNM0]

Facts. I hope to hell no one ever tries to "be" Whitney. If anyone gets close I can only imagine it being like a Patsy Cline-->LeAnn Rimes mindfuck (meant with Respect)

[@okzj7231]

Does anyone know the chords?
