Produced by James Anthony Carmichael & Lionel Richie. Album Dancing on the Ceiling. Dancing on the Ceiling Lyrics. Cheering) Whoo! What is happening here Something going on that's not quite clear Somebody turn on the light We're gonna have a party, it's starting tonight. Oh, what a feeling when we're dancing on the ceiling Oh, what a feeling when we're dancing on the ceiling. The room is hot and that's good Some of my friends came by from the neighborhood The people starting to climb the walls Oooh, it looks like everybody is having a ball.

On Lionel Richie's third solo album, the ex-Commodore merges different genres into the glossy R&B sound he became known for. Though a departure from the straight-ahead soul of 1983’s Can’t Slow Down, songs like the pondering Say You, Say Me and the festive Dancing on the Ceiling have become bonafide classics in the mainstream pop canon. Some 30 years later, this album can be seen as a victory lap, one in which Richie fully embraces his pop stardom and proves that the funk and soul sounds of his previous releases were clearly a thing of the past.

Lionel Richie wasn't necessarily emboldened by the success of Can't Slow Down - after all, he had experienced huge success since the Commodores - but there is nevertheless a sense of swagger on its 1986 successor, Dancing on the Ceiling

Not to be confused with the slower 1930 Rodgers/Hart composition of the same name, the title track of Richie's 3rd solo album is a show opener, and one that sets the mood for the rest of the concert, which in keeping with the major body of his work, is usually a fun affair. The song is about having a good time - and literally dancing on the ceiling. Rebecca St. JamesSongwriter Interviews.
