Gregg Alexander, the songwriter of New Radicals, originally wrote the demo for 'Murder on the Dancefloor' in 1994. The song contained controversial lyrics about 'hitting the Hague' and 'hitting the bong.' Sophie Ellis-Bextor later popularized the song, which almost became New Radicals' debut single. Recently, Sophie Ellis-Bextor performed the song at the Bataclan in Paris, paying tribute to the victims of the 2015 terrorist attacks.
