Key Grammar Structures

• YOU MEAN I'VE BEEN DANCIN' ON THE FLOOR DARLIN'

  ➔ Present Perfect Continuous: I've been dancing

  ➔ Expresses an action that started in the past and continues to the present. Here, it emphasizes the duration of the dancing.

• AND I FEEL LIKE I NEED SOME MORE

  ➔ Modal verb + verb: need some more

  ➔ "Need" here expresses a requirement or desire. "Some more" indicates an unspecified quantity.

• AND I MOVE ON LOVE, IT'S ABOUT THAT TIME

  ➔ Idiomatic expression: It's about that time

  ➔ "It's about that time" means it's the right time or the appropriate moment for something.

• MAKE ME FEEL MIGHTY REAL

  ➔ Causative verb: make + object + bare infinitive

  ➔ "Make" is used to cause someone to do something or feel something. Here, it causes the speaker to feel real.

• WHEN WE GET HOME DARLIN'

  ➔ Subordinate clause with "when"

  ➔ "When" introduces a time clause, indicating when the main clause action will occur.

• AND THE MUSIC'S IN VIENNA

  ➔ Incorrect/figurative use of "in"

  ➔ Music cannot be literally *in* Vienna. This is likely a metaphor for the style of music, perhaps Viennese waltzes, or a feeling that evokes Vienna.

• STILL YOU'RE HOT AND YOU KISS ME BACK AND IT FEELS REAL GOOD

  ➔ Adjective modifying a verb: feels real good

  ➔ The adverb "really" would be grammatically correct (feels *really* good), but "real" is used colloquially and for emphasis, especially in informal contexts. "Good" is an adjective describing "feels".

• I FEEL REAL, WHEN YOU TOUCH ME

  ➔ Linking verb + adjective: I feel real

  ➔ "Feel" is a linking verb, connecting the subject "I" to the adjective "real," which describes the subject's state.
