"Never Wanted to Dance" hit American shelves as a single on March 18, 2008 and ended up on If, Mindless Self Indulgence's album that year. It's Jimmy Urine's baby: he wrote the words and the music, sings lead, and produced and arranged it with James Galus. Steve, Righ? plays guitar, Lyn-Z bass and Kitty drums, and Rhys Fulber recorded it and mixed it with Greg Reely.
The US single came as a CD of 6 remixes and went to number 1 on Billboard's Hot 100 Singles Sales chart, with a British release following in late August. The video turns a house party into a Dance Dance Revolution SuperNova free-for-all, the band playing inside the game on a wireframe stage, until the cops bust in and haul nearly everyone away. It also landed on the Madden NFL 09 soundtrack.
