Saltburn’s “Murder On The Dancefloor” Scene Explained: What The Song & Oliver’s Dance Really Mean

The final scene of Saltburn, in which Oliver dances around the titular estate to "Murder on the Dancefloor," has a deeper meaning than it may seem.

After successfully inheriting the Saltburn estate from Felix's mother, Elspeth, upon her passing, *Oliver giddily dances around the Saltburn mansion to Sophie Ellis-Bextor's 2001 pop hit, "Murder on the Dancefloor" in the one-shot* *final scene* of *Saltburn*. The scene became a viral sensation on TikTok, causing the 23-year-old song to start charting again after *Saltburn*'s release. However, the meaning behind both the song choice and Oliver's dance attire goes way beyond its pop culture relevance.
