The Runaway Wild - Magic Dance

Synthpop / synthwave project based in New York, US.
Magic Dance is the solo project of singer/songwriter Jon Siejka, formed in Long Island, NY in 2012. His debut EP, “Another World” was released in May 2013. “The Mirror of Dreams” and “Kiss Scene EP” followed, all heavily influenced by the iconic synthpop and movie soundtrack music of the 1980s. His 2015 release, “Haunting Me EP”, marked a sonic shift, with AOR-oriented cuts like “Still Haunting Me” and “I Wanna Know”. His follow-up album, “Vanishings”, was an even larger statement of that evolution, combining ‘80s influenced AOR, pop rock, and synthpop to create a sound uniquely his own. In 2017, Magic Dance signed to rock powerhouse Frontiers Records and released “New Eyes” in December of 2018. He will follow up with “Remnants” on December 4th, 2020.

The Runaway Wild

The Runaway Wild is a solo project by singer/songwriter Jon Siejka, formed in Long Island, NY in 2021. His sound combines the slick production aesthetics of 80s inspired synthwave with the energy and passion of hard rock and AOR music. Lyrical themes draw on the darker edge of 80s music and pop culture, leaning heavily on horror and fantasy films of the decade, giving the music a 'soundtrack' touch.
He is also known as Magic Dance.

Naughty or Nice
by THE RUNAWAY WILD




Santa Claus is coming to town
So turn that frown upside down
I've been giving out these toys
To all the little good girls and boys

But I hear you've been so naughty
And I find that so nice
I'll be coming down your chimney
Down your chimney pipe tonight

So put on your elf dress
And sit on Santa's lap
'Cause you're the only gift
That I'd like to unwrap, yeah

Tell me girl
Have you been naughty or nice
We're gonna find that fact out tonight
Forget the cookies, give me the cake
I'm gonna make it snow today

Let's lay down by the Christmas tree
Let's get warm by the fire
Let's take off this gift wrapping
And give in to our desire

I used to be a saint, but tonight I am a sinner
Oh, baby
So call up your family and cancel Christmas dinner
Do it, please

And put on your elf dress
And sit on Santa's lap
'Cause you're the only gift
That I'd like to unwrap, yeah

Tell me girl
Have you been naughty or nice
We're gonna find that fact out tonight
Forget the cookies, give me the cake
I'm gonna make it snow today

Oh, Santa

Tell me girl
Have you been naughty or nice
We're gonna find that fact out tonight
Forget the cookies, give me the cake
I'm gonna make it snow today

Yeah
Yeah
Tell me if you're naughty or nice, ooh baby
Yeah, baby
