has glosseng: "I Cant Dance to That Music Youre Playing" is a 1968 funk-soul single by Motown girl group Martha and the Vandellas. The song nearly returned the group to the top 40 on the pop singles chart peaking at number forty-two on the pop singles chart and reaching number twenty-four on the R&B singles chart. Its notable for featuring additional background vocals by the likes of The Andantes (who had been in a succession of Vandellas singles since "My Baby Loves Me") and Syreeta Wright, who had recently signed to the Motown label and was dating Motown artist Stevie Wonder, at the time. The song talked about how one womans musician boyfriend leaving her with questions about how he was running off without giving the woman a hint of what he was exactly doing. Reeves would later say that the reason why the chorus was sung by Wright and not by Reeves was because she and the Vandellas had a conflicting touring schedule. She is heard singing in the end of the song with Wright and the Andantes however.

Meaning

has glossnld: "I Cant Dance To That Music Youre Playing" is een single van de Amerikaanse soulgroep Martha Reeves & The Vandellas. In tegenstelling tot een reeks voorgaande singles van de groep, werd dit nummer alleen op single, en dus niet op album, uitgebracht. Nadat "Honey Chile" de laatste single van Martha Reeves & The Vandellas was die de top 40 op de poplijst zou bereiken in de Verenigde Staten, bleek "I Cant Dance To That Music Youre Playing" sindsdien de meest succesvolle single van de groep te zijn. Het miste namelijk op een haar na de top 40, met een #42 notering als hoogste positie. Op de R&B-lijst in datzelfde land deed het nummer het met een #24 notering het beter, maar in buurland Canada was het "I Cant Dance To That Music Youre Playing" het meest succesvol. Daar werd het namelijk een #22 hit.
