"Talk to Me, Dance with Me" comes from Make Up the Breakdown, the first album by Canadian indie rockers Hot Hot Heat, released on Sub Pop in 2002. The band wrote it together (Steve Bays, Dante DeCaro, Paul Hawley and Dustin Hawthorne), and it's the record in a nutshell: twitchy, herky-jerky rhythms, a melody bouncing off the walls and a vocal that yelps and pleads in the same breath, all jammed into a beat made for crowded basements.
It became the album's third single in the U.S. on November 3, 2003, and climbed to number 33 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart.
