     @Invictus Yeah I never understood it not being Canadian, but years later did a deep dive about the band and it came up. Hats being a synonym for condom here & safety dance implying safe sex both in the sense of avoiding pregnancy & the unprotected sex spread of the aids epidemic at the time. Back in 1984, Aids spread fast through the gay community because a lot of them didn't believe in wearing condoms. The unrelated medieval maypole festival video is what really sold the song to the world.

     @klaatu It all makes perfect sense now. The song is completely ruined for me.

     @Invictus it was all about the Canadian government Health Department not handing out free condoms
