Anoop barely hanging on, hope Simon didn't push him off the ledge.

VIDEO & Lyrics Anoop Desai "Dim All The Lights" American Idol

"Anoop Desai, who's growing some facial hair, has definitely decided that ballads offer him the best possibility to last the longest. Anoop goes with Donna Summer, but pulls something a little less well-known: 1979's Dim All the Lights. He ends horribly, but, otherwise, I kind of liked it.

...Simon disagrees completely: "That was mediocre at best." He hoped the tempo wouldn't come in (it did), and he thought it was a horrible arrangement and Anoop's worst performance by a mile."

VIDEO & Lyrics: Anoop Desai "Dim All The Lights" American Idol

Dim all the lights sweet darling
cause tonight it's all the way
turn up the old Victrola
gonna dance the night away

Love just don't come easy
no it seldom does
when you find the perfect love
let it fill you up

Dim all the lights sweet darling
cause tonight it's all the way, hey baby
turn up the old Victrola
gonna dance the night away

Love just don't come easy
no it seldom does
when you find the perfect love
let it fill you up

Dim all the light sweet honey
cause tonight it's you and me
no need to worry darlin'
cause it's for eternity

Love don't come easy
this you know I understand
I want to be your woman
if you'll be my man
let yourself go freely and I'll
show you things that you've dreamed of
don't think that your dreaming
we've found the perfect love
and I'm like a cup
so fill me up

Dim all the lights sweet darlin'
cause the night is on the way, oh baby
turn up the old Victrola
gonna dance the night away

Do what you want
you can use me all up
take me bottom to top
don't leave even one drop
No, no, no
Do it tonight
you know the moments are right
turn my brown body white
come on, dim all the lights

Dim all the lights sweet darlin'
cause the night is on the way, hey baby
turn up the old Victrola
gonna dance the night away, hey baby
dim all the lights sweet darlin'
dim all the lights sweet honey...
