What is I Can't Dance by Genesis about? It's not about dancing, that's for sure. Released in 1991, this would be Genesis' final number 1 in both the UK and USA. The story behind the song is fascinating. It was a throwaway piece Phil Collins, Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks came up with while messing about in the studio, imitating Roland Gift and joking about Levi's jeans commercials.
This video explores the lyrical inspiration and meaning behind I Can't Dance as well as its recording process.
