Yaki-Da were a Swedish pop group consisting of singers Marie Knutsen and Linda Schönberg. They were put together by Ace of Base band member and producer Jonas “Joker” Berggren. Berggren produced their entire first album and wrote all but two of the songs appearing on it.
They released their first album, Pride, in 1995 and the album’s lead single, “I Saw You Dancing”, reached number 54 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 11 on the Billboard Dance Charts. They were somewhat more successful in Europe, Latin America and Asia.
Their second album, A Small Step For Love, was released in 1998. It featured no collaborations with Jonas Berggren. The album spawned one single, entitled “I Believe”. The song and album saw a very limited release in Europe and Korea. A music video, shot inside of a Korean airport (but featuring Chinese characters), was released for “I Believe”.
One of the songs Jonas Berggren wrote and produced for Pride, “Show Me Love”, was re-recorded by Berggren’s own band, Ace of Base, for their 2002 album, Da Capo.
I Saw You Dancing Lyrics
I saw you dancing
And I’ll never be the same again, for sure
I saw you dancing
Say Yaki-Da, my love.
I saw you dancing
And I’ll never be the same again, for sure
I saw you dancing
Say Yaki-Da.
I’m waiting for a chance
To get to know you
To ask for a dance
Just look into my eyes
And I’ll take you to paradise.
I saw you dancing
And I’ll never be the same again, for sure
I saw you dancing
Say Yaki-Da, my love.
I saw you dancing
And I’ll never be the same again, for sure
I saw you dancing
Say Yaki-Da.
I’m falling, I’m falling
‘Cause life is not easy for me.
Please, touch me like you do
To have you near me
To go where you go
Why waste a lot of time?
My love is not a secret crime.
I saw you dancing
And I’ll never be the same again, for sure
I saw you dancing
Say Yaki-Da, my love.
I saw you dancing
And I’ll never be the same again, for sure
I saw you dancing
Say Yaki-Da.
I’m falling to pieces
Who do you think you are?
Maybe, I’ve gone too far
Maybe, I’m in love with you
Don’t hurt me or treat me bad
‘Cause I will fight for what is mine
Say Yaki-Da…
‘Cause life is meant for living.
I saw you dancing…
