Days of the New had this song with 'Dancing' in the title that ends on a rather dark line repeated (self-deletion), and then is an extended end-of-album number that may break the party rhythm:
Days of the New "Dancing With The Wind"
And then they had this other song that is just plain groovy:
Days of the New "Enemy"
That's funny. Youtube read my mind, because I was thinking of sharing this one.
There are people dancing int he background. *And* there is a choreographed dance! You can even do that supermarket shopping dance move, if you want to.
Pulp "Common People"
Alright, it must be time for me to revisit my clubbing days …
Missy Elliot "Lose Control"
Sophie Ellis-Bextor "Murder on the Dancefloor"
And speaking of dance battles, this one's a bit of a giggle.
Family Force Five "Dance Or Die"
Gonna turn around once and we'll do the Eagle Rock …
Daddy Cool "Eagle Rock"
🎶It's the sound of the underground
The beat of the drum goes 'round and 'round
Into the overflow
Where the girls get down to the sound of the radio🎶
Girls Aloud "Sound of the Underground"
From an album titled 'American Made Music to Strip By', and used in a scene in an episode of 'Angel' (a spinoff from 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer') where Faith, the other slayer, is dancing at a club.
Rob Zombie "Living Dead Girl"
Will.i.am "Scream & Shout ft Britney Spears"
Tori Amos "Professional Widow (Armand's Star Trunk Funk Mix)"
Of course, when we used to dance to this, we didn't dance to the censored version …
Ice Cube, Mack 10, Ms. Toi - "You Can Do It"
No Doubt "Hella Good"
🎶So let's just keep on dancing🎶
🎶Do you love me
Now that I can dance?🎶
Appeared in the "Dirty Dancing" movie, too.
The Contours "Do You Love Me?"
Sharing because if there is one song pretty much guaranteed to get me up for a dance … (starts 1 min in on this version)
The Big Push "Watch Out"
And this may not be a traditional party song for many, but I consider this a dance track. It *is* the song I went through a floorboard while dancing to that one time (our house is old).
Chevelle "An Island"
The Drifters "Save The Last Dance For Me"
Not being a responsible DJ tonight, I'm all over the show with genre/decade. But, oh well.

Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers "Mary Jane's Last Dance"
From the same album as "More Than Words"
Extreme "Decadence Dance"
Harper Finn (yeah, from that Finn family) "Dance Away These Days" (they should've played this on Orion)
A 2-parter from Kiwi Jordan Reyne:
"The Piper, Pt. I: Dance, Your Day Is Yet to Come"
and
"The Piper, Pt. II: Dance for the Boys"
One for the dramatic dancers among us …
Mother Love Bone "Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns"
Oh gosh, how did I nearly forget this one?

🎶I tried to dance at a funeral
New Orleans-style
I joined the Grave Dancers Union
I had to file🎶
Soul Asylum "Without A Trace"
The Civil Wars "Dance Me To The End of Love" (Live)
I got my husband's band to learn this one for my 40th.
Collective Soul "Gel"
on a related note …
🎶You try to stop it, but I seen you movin' your booty
Move that booty
Mmm that’s a booty
She has a very nice booty🎶
Infectious Grooves "Infectious Grooves"
Not actually they're most dancy track, but the lyrics …
I mean, we could really just go with Missy Elliot all night, eh?
Missy Elliot "Get Ur Freak On"
I do love to play this version at parties just for fun …
Goognight Nurse "Milkshake" 🇳🇿
Black Eyed Peas "They Don't Want Music ft James Brown"
🎶There is somethin'
Somethin' on my mind
Makes me wanna
Wiggle my behind🎶
