Dancing When You're Dead

STAP Sigh Boys

Do you know where we go when our hearts stop beating?

Bored of those once held close? Time on Earth is fleeting

In the sky, when we die, thereʼs a state of being

Itʼs like a club, but up above

Youʼll be dancing when youʼre decomposing twinkle toes. Strike a pose, you

Demon

Moves unleashed by those deceased, unknown to disco heathens

Dodgy raves beyond the grave, ‘till rigor mortis seeps in

Fred Astaire, but cadaver

Youʼll be dancing when you hold my hand and leave this world

Nowʼs your time

Saw you in a mirror ball… in the next life

CʼMON!

CʼMON!

CʼMON!

COME ON!

Youʼll be dancing when youʼre DEAD

Youʼll be dancing when CʼMON!

Youʼll be dancing when youʼre DEAD

Youʼll be dancing when COME ON!

    STAP Sigh Boys

An underground artist hitting the J-WAVE HOT 100?!
The Enigmatic STAP Sigh Boys Strike Again!


Coming out of nowhere to burst onto the FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL '21 Rookie A GoGo stage, STAP Sigh Boys has been called everything from "neo-soul melted in a microwave," "a one man Random Access Memories (Daft Punk)" to "Mac DeMarco of Koenji."

In September 2023 he released his third album "Chord", a definitive collection of high-quality 1970's-tinged piano pop songs.

"Chord" quickly dominated the shelves of Japan's CD shops, was hyped by legendary Japanese artists such as Quruli, received considerable airplay on prominent radio shows, got playlisted on "Tokyo Highway" and, despite being relatively unknown, got as high as number 40 on the J-WAVE HOT 100 chart!

And now, just two months later, he is putting aside the piano for a burst of "Off the Wall" infused dancefloor destroying hard classic disco, with "Dancing When You're Dead"!

So, the burning question is: Is STAP Sigh Boys alive? Is he dead? Is he the angel of death?
Regardless, he seems to have the ungodly power to possess your body and make you D.A.N.C.E.
