Best Answer

The correct idiom is "the same old song and dance," and it refers to someone trying to convince people that they are doing or planning something new, when it's just more of the same old thing. "Song and dance" comes from the idea of the variety show, which features people singing and dancing, usually to very familiar songs.

A song and dance is a performance. This phrase means that someone is putting on a performance and not really meaning what they're telling you or acting like. It's often used to describe politicians, who give you "the same old song and dance" every year right before elections.
