Sophie Ellis-Bextor Makes U.S. TV Debut With ‘Murder on the Dancefloor’ on ‘Fallon’


Sophie Ellis-Bextor appeared on 'The Tonight Show' to perform her hit single "Murder on the Dancefloor."

“Murder on the Dancefloor,” which originally appeared on the singer’s debut LP Read My Lips, has seen a resurgence over the past few months thanks to its placement in Emerald Fennell ‘s movie Saltburn. The track plays during the final scene of the movie in which its star, Barry Keoghan, dances nude — a visual that has inspired a trend on TikTok, helping propel the song onto Billboard’s charts and landed it at No. Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill” became ubiquitous four decades after its release thanks to Stranger Things, and Matchbox Twenty’s “Push” enjoyed the Barbie bump last year, close to a quarter of a century after it came out.
