Dancing On The Ceiling - Lionel Richie

MMathews wrote: The intro is the same with the crowd noise overlapping the first few beats BUT the last 10-15 secs contain vocals I only ever heard in the 12" single version. The last line heard is "we're gonna dance all night!" So I checked each digital version on the assorted "hits" comps by him. All the digital hits comps that the database lists as the CD having the "LP version" contain this alternate ending version online. The digital version of "Definitive Collection" has the mix described above. This is fascinating to me because I can't think of a logical reason for this alternate version to exist and why it became the online album version. Very odd. MM

This version also exists on the international 2 CD
version of Lionel's "Definitive Collection" which is
credited to both him and the Commodores. Does anyone
know when this version originated? Except for the crowd
noise edit, I don't recall any other versions circulating
when the song first came out in 1986.
