DESCRIPTION:
Marvin Rainwater co-wrote this song with Dale Siegenthaler. The town of Henryetta, later best known as the hometown of football star Troy Aikman, had recently passed a city ordinance banning public dancing. (Some people believe that inspired the movie _Footloose_, but events in Elmore City, Oklahoma, are closer to those in that film.)
