Sembello had originally written the song as a horror theme after watching a slasher film possibly 1980 s.
Maniac on the dance floor movie.
Maniac appears during an early scene in flashdance and is used as the backing track of a montage sequence showing alex jennifer beals training strenuously in her converted warehouse.
Maniac is a song performed by michael sembello.
So a steel town girl may had replaced a small town girl and she s a maniac on the floor with something else hehehe.
The song was used in the 1983 film flashdance.
When the dancer becomes the dance it can cut you like a knife if the gift becomes the fire on the wire between will and what will be she s a maniac maniac on the floor and she s dancing like she s never danced before she s a maniac maniac on the floor and she s dancing like she s never danced before on the ice blue line of insanity.
She s a maniac maniac on the floor and she s dancing like she never danced before she s a maniac maniac on the floor and she s dancing like she never danced before.
It is obvious that sembello adjusted the lyrics in order to fit with the flashdance s theme hey the movie has to do with dance not with a serial killer.
