You, sir, earn the award of "best musical taste" I am seriously annoyed that I didn't think of that, one of my favorite songs (I've seen the Pogues 4 or 5 times live!)

Thank you. I'll make up for the good taste here

Think early rock n roll. Tons of dancing songs there, many about specific dances.

Jailhouse Rock, Blue Suede Shoes, The Twist, Twist And Shout, At The Hop, Monster Mash, etc.

Wild Cherry did "Play That Funky Music White Boy" originally, and The Romantics' original "That's What I Like About You" is probably the better-known version, being on a bunch of commercials and such. Just for the record.
