Sadie Hawkins Dance


Explanation:
For a whole night out of dancing, not just a single dance.


Sadie Hawkins Dance
Sadie Hawkins Dance. All the girls in the bathroom talking. Who they gonna take to the Sadie Hawkins? My ears are burning but I kept on walking. Smile on my face and an air guitar rocking. Sadie Hawkins Dance, in my khaki pants.

agree  Meghann: The term "Sadie Hawkins Dance" came from a comic strip called "Li'l Abner." Sadie Hawkins was the boy-crazy girl in the strip :) It's a well-known term (at least in America). http://www.aci.on.ca/ahcmp/hawkins.html
