'Because We Can'
Performed, written and produced by Fatboy Slim
Because We Can is mixed with Lady Marmalade to serve as an upbeat can can dance introduction to the Moulin Rouge. In the film, we see that the can can dancing is very vibrant and almost violent in its execution, and the dancers perform a highly energetic routine in time to the pumping beat of this song. This song is a very effective modernisation of the can can music for the film, and is the perfect backdrop to the stunning dance sequences that introduce us to the nightclub of your dreams - the Moulin Rouge!
Lyrics:
[The lyrics to this song consist of very few words, as it's aim is to create an energetic dance rhythm for the Moulin Rouge. Plus, because it's Fatboy Slim, there's a lot of manic synthesisers and I'm not even going to attempt to write down every time the man sings 'can'! So here's just the first few lines to get you started!]
Because we can can can, yes we can can can can can can can can can
Everybody can can!
Everybody can can!
Because we can can can, yes we can can can, yes we can can can
Because we can can can, because we can can can,
because we can can can can can can can can can can can can can
Everybody can can!
Can can can can can can can can can!
Everybody can can!
