"Dance, Soterios Johnson, Dance" is a song inspired by Soterios Johnson, the morning anchor on the NPR station in New York, WNYC, who may or may not have a secret life of dance. It appears on Jonathan Coulton's fifth album, Thing a Week Two.

History

"Dance, Soterios Johnson, Dance" is listed as one of Jonathan's oldest songs on archived versions of his website. It received a full update and was released as the eighteenth Thing a Week on January 27, 2006.

Demo version

A demo version of "Dance, Soterios Johnson, Dance" on the non CD collection, Other Experiments. The lyrics are slightly different, and it has little to none of the electronic accompaniment of the Thing a Week version. The demo version of this song is part of the non-album collection Other Experiments and is available on the Jonathan Coulton Store as joco:songdetails/Dance, Soterios Johnson, Dance (Demo).

Live performance

"Dance, Soterios Johnson, Dance" is occasionally played at Jonathan Coulton concerts. It is a popular choice for requests. When performed, it is stripped down to just Jonathan and a guitar, sounding more like the original demo version.
