Split Enzis one of the most successful and longest running bands ever to emerge from New Zealand. The group was formed in Auckland in 1971 by Tim Finn, Philip Judd, , Robert Gillies, and Noel Crombie, who originally called themselves "Split Ends." They soon changed the spelling to honor their NZ homeland. For much of their career, the band was known for wild costumes and make-up designed by Crombie. For the first phase of their existence, the band played a kind of progressive rock infused with music-hall humor; later they slipped into a quirky new wavestyle that generated hits worldwide. Numerous personnel changes have been a defining factor for the Enz.

I Don't Wanna Dance Lyrics
Split Enz
I don't wanna dance no more
Not since you walked out the door
Left without a second glance
That's the end of my romance
No more fancy footwork in the nightclub
I'm a still point in a turning world
I don't wanna dance tonight
I can hardly stand the sight
Of lovers moving on the floor
There's a memory I can't ignore
Of listening to the D.J. play the record
Take your partner and move around
And I'm dancing in my baby's arms again
I don't wanna dance
Not without my baby
I don't wanna dance
Not without my baby
I don't wanna dance
Every night it's always there
The memory of our sad affair
I'm underneath the coloured lights
You're asking me am I alright
I can only answer "I'm the dancer"
Whose sense of rhythm is paralyzed
Til I'm dancing in my baby's arms again
I don't wanna dance
Not without my baby
I don't wanna dance
Not without my sweetheart
I don't wanna dance...not tonight
(repeat to fade)
