All Night Long
"All Night Long" is a song by popular 1980's singer Lionel Richie. It was featured in the Season Seventeen episode, "Taming Strange".
Background
Mr. Mackey is attempting to teach the fourth-grade students the new IntelliLink computer system for faculty notification. Due to his usual ineptitude, he presses the wrong button on the notebook computer, causing the song "All Night Long" to play. Later in the episode, while watching an educational film, the song continues to play through the intercom while the students sit in the dark. Mr. Mackey tries furiously to stop the music.
Lyrics
Da Da, ooooh
Well, my friends, the time has come
(To) raise the roof and have some fun
Throw away the work to be done
Let the music play on....(Play on, play on, play on..)
Everybody sing, everybody dance
Lose yourself in wild romance
We're going to Party, Karamu, Fiesta, forever
Come on and sing along!
We're going to Party, Karamu, Fiesta, forever
Come on and sing along!
All night long (all night), All night (all night)
All night long (all night), All night (all night)
All night long (all night), All night (all night)
All night long! (all night), Ooh, yeah (all night)
People dancing all in the street
See the rhythm all in their feet
Life is good, wild and sweet
Let the music play on...(Play on, play on, play on...)
Feel it in your heart and feel it in your soul
Let the music take control
We're going to Party, Liming, Fiesta, forever
Come on and sing along
We're going to Party, Liming, Fiesta, forever
Come on and sing my song!
All night long (all night), oooh, (all night)
All night long (all night), yeah, (all night)
All night long (all night), yeah, (all night)
All night long (all night)...(all night)
Yeah, once you get started you can't sit down
Come join the fun, it's a merry-go-round
Everyone's dancing their troubles away
Come join our party, See how we play!
