It's much louder than before, man
Can you hear me?

Nightclubbing, nightclubbing
We're what's happening
Nightclubbing, nightclubbing
We're an ice machine
We see people, brand new people
They're something to see
We're nightclubbing
Bright-white clubbing
Oh isn't it wild?

Nightclubbing, nightclubbing
We're walking through town
Nightclubbing, nightclubbing
We walk like a ghost
We learn dances, brand new dances
Like the nuclear bomb
We're nightclubbing
Bright white clubbing
Oh isn't it wild?

Nightclubbing, nightclubbing
We're what's happening
Nightclubbing, nightclubbing
We're an ice machine
We see people, brand new people
They're something to see
We're nightclubbing
Bright-white clubbing
Oh isn't it wild?

Grace Jones

Bervely Grace Jones is a Jamaican model, singer, songwriter, record producer, and actress.

Grace started her career in the early 70s as a model. She worked with photographers such as Jean-Paul Goude, Helmut Newton, Guy Bourdin, and Hans Feurer, for fashion houses such as Yves St. Laurent and Kenzo, and appeared on the covers of Elle and Vogue. She became known for her distinctive androgynous appearance and bold features.

In 1977 Jones embarked on a music career, securing a record deal with Island Records and initially becoming a star of New York City’s Studio 54-centered disco scene. Her first album, Portfolio was released in September of that year, containing one of her greatest successes, her version of Edith Piaf’s “La vie en Rose”. In the 80s Grace reached the height of her career being, as pointed by Pitchfork, one of the early convergences of “fashion, art, and music”, influencing on the 1980s pop culture with albums like her iconic Nightclubbing (1981) and Slave to the Rhythm (1985), and her visual work with Jean-Paul Goude.
