"The Lonely Dance" is a song parody by ThornBrain of Men Without Hats' "The Safety Dance". The song was inspired by a comment on Episode 4 by SophineW, who mentioned that she started singing the original song when Dororo said, "they're no friends of mine". The song is the first sung by a character as opposed to just sung from a character's perspective.

Song Format[]
It is sung by Thorn as Dororo to a karaoke version of the original song, with Revy Moonshine occasionally interjecting as Koyuki. The song begins with Dororo saying, "Those friends you speak of: they're no friends of mine." Following off of the line, Dororo begins singing about his supposed independence from his former teammates, but right before each chorus begins his loneliness and feelings of betrayal lead him to have an emotional breakdown.
Lyrics[]
Spoken
Those friends you speak of,
They're no friends of mine
Music starts
Koyuki: What the hell?
L---O---N---E---L---Y---
Lonely
Dance
I can run if I want to
I can leave my friends behind
'Cause they all are cunts, my god they are cunts
They are no friends of mine
Say
We can help who we want to
Got the planet on my mind
Yes, I'm an invader from out of this world
But I left that far behind
I wanna dance
Koyuki: I see...
I can go where I want to
I'm a ninja, wonder why?
Well I'm not telling! HA-HA-HAHA-HA
I'd be funny if I tried
Say
I can fight if I want to
Times are tough, but so am I
Guess I broke my leg
And they left me for dead
But I swear I will not cry
Say
We can dance
We can dance
Everything's under control
We can dance
We can dance
Without them, life is full
We can dance
We can dance
It's alright if you take a glance
We can dance
We can dance
My friends never gave me a cha-ance
The lonely dance
Oh the lonely dance
It's the lonely dance
Koyuki: Are you ok?
Yeah, it's the lonely dance!
Dororo breathing sharply, trying to regain composure
I can dance if I want to
I've got all my life in line
Family is rich 'n' buyin' friends is bitchin'
Ask my mom and they are mine
Say
We can dance if we want to
We can leave my friends behind
Because ask them what they think my name is
And see they're no friends of mine
Say
We can dance
We can dance
Panicking's under control
We can dance
We can dance
Happiness on a roll
We can dance
We can dance
Sure they act evil at first glance
We can dance
We can dance
They'll never give me a cha-ance
The lonely dance
The lonely dance
It's the lonely dance
It's the lonely dance
The lonely daa*choke*ance
It's the lonely dance
The lonely dance- FRIE-HE-HENDSHIP!!!
It's the lonely dance!
The lonely dance!!!
sob until song ends
Koyuki: You're a hopeless case.
