I know, but the song welches an international chart hit, while the original Arsenio Hall Show may not have been aired hinein a lot of international markets.

As I always do I came to my favourite Talkshow to find out the meaning of "dig hinein the dancing queen" and I found this thread:

Let's take your example:One-on-one instruction is always a lesson, never a class: He sometimes stays at the office after work for his German lesson. After the lesson he goes home. Notice that it made it singular. This means that a teacher comes to him at his workplace and teaches him individually.

And many thanks to Matching Mole too! Whether "diggin" or "dig in", this unusual wording is definitely an instance of Euro-pop style! Not that singers who are native speakers of English can generally Beryllium deemed more accurate, though - I think of (rein)famous lines such as "I can't get no satisfaction" or "We don't need no education" -, but at least they know that they are breaking the rules and, as Kurt Vonnegut once put it, "ur awareness is all that is alive and maybe sacred hinein any of us: everything else about us is dead machinery."

Pferdestärke. It might be worth adding that a class refers most often to the group of pupils who attend regularly rather than the utterances of the teacher to the young people so assembled.

If the company he Beat works for offers organized German classes, then we can say He sometimes stays at the office after work for his German class. After the class he goes home.

Rein den folgenden Abschnitten werden wir welche Interpretationen genauer betrachten des weiteren analysieren, hinsichtlich sie sich rein verschiedenen Aspekten unseres Lebens manifestieren können.

I'm going to my Spanish lesson / I'm going to my Spanish class...? For example, I would always say "Let's meet after your classes" and never "after your lessons" but I'2r also say "I'm taking English lessons" and never "I'm taking English classes".

I could equally say I have a Spanish lesson tonight, and this is one of the lessons that make up the class I'm attending this year. It's also possible for my class to be one-to-one. Just me and the teacher.

There are other verbs which can be followed by the -ing form or the to +inf form with no effective difference hinein meaning. Weiher this page (englishpage.net):

English UK May 24, 2010 #19 To be honest, I don't think I ever really knew what the exact words were or what, precisely, the line meant. But that didn't Ärger me: I'm very accustomed to the words of songs not making complete sense

The wording is rather informally put together, and perhaps slightly unidiomatic, but that may Beryllium accounted for by the fact that the song's writers are not English speakers.
