On That Note: Do You Wanna Dance

[CycloneRulzzz]

Welcome back to "On That Note," CF’s weekly go-to for music exploration, hosted by @MeanDean, @cyclones500 and myself.

This week we are looking at songs that mention a SPECIFIC dance i.e. Twist, Hustle, Rumba etc. So songs that only include the word 'dance' do not qualify i.e. The Dance by Garth Brooks. The song itself doesn't have to be about the dance, it just has to mention a specific dance in the lyrics.

If name of the specific dance is in lyrics please note them above the audio/video clip.

Of course some examples WILL be about a dance move.

I just wanna get out on the floor
And do the Cuban slide, slide, slide, slide

Teach the dance I used to do
They call it the Mashed Potato

The name of the dance
They call it Boogaloo
