Songs with the word "dance"

Or any variation of "dance". This is what happens when you can't sleep and the person next to you has an equally competitive spirit coupled with a reasonably populated mental song-database.

The rules:
  • name the song, and the artist and SING the referenced line
  • no long pauses
  • no obscure songs "that you have downloaded from MySpace" (unless it's a shared reference)
  • Praising one's opponent is appropriate for most excellent quotes

Dancing in the Dark (Bruce Springsteen): "You can't start a fire, you can't start a fire without a spark, this gun's for hire, even if we're just dancing in the dark."
Le Freak (Chic): "Have you heard about the new dance craze, listen to us, I'm sure you'll be amazed."
Dancing on the Ceiling (Lionel Richie): "Oh, what a feeling! When were dancing on the ceiling!"
Private Dancer (Tina Turner):"I'm your private dancer, a dancer for money, I'll do what you want me to do, I'm your private dancer, a dancer for money, any old music will do."
Tiny Dancer (Elton John): "Hold me closer tiny dancer, count the headlights on the highway."
I Don't Feel Like Dancing (Scissor Sisters): "Don't feel like dancin', dancin', even if I find nothin' better to do, don't feel like dancin', dancin', why'd you break it down when I'm not in the mood?"
Flashdance - What a Feeling (Irene Cara): "Pictures come alive, you can dance right through your life."
Careless Whisper (George Michael): "Never gonna dance again, guilty feet have got no rythym..."
Dancing in the Street (Rolling Stones): "Summer's here and the time is right, for dancing in the streets."
Dancing in Heaven (Q-Feel): "Dancing in heaven, I never thought I could get my feet this far..."
You Should Be Dancing (Bee Gees): "What you doing on your back, aah? You should be dancing, yeah, dancing, yeah."
I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Whitney Houston): "Oh I wanna dance with somebody, I wanna feel the heat with somebody, yeah I wanna dance with somebody, with somebody who loves me."
Cheek to Cheek (Frank Sinatra): "And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak, and I seem to find the happiness I seek when were out together dancing cheek to cheek."
Let's Dance (David Bowie): "Let's dance put on your red shoes, and dance the blues."
I Can't Dance (Genesis): "I can't dance, I can't talk, only thing about me is the way I walk. I can't dance, I can't sing, I'm just standing here selling everything."
Square Dance (Eminem):"Y'all c'mon now, let's all get on down, lets do-si-do now, we gon' have a good ol' time. Don't be scared, cus there ain't nuttin' to worry 'bout, let your hair down, and square dance with me!"
I Don't Wanna Dance (Eddie Grant): "I don't wanna dance, dance with you baby no more, I'll never do something to hurt you, though oh but the feeling is bad, the feeling is bad."

The winner? An obscure song downloaded from MySpace.
Dance Like Ordinary People (Hella Cholla):"You just don't dance like ordinary people, but neither do I."
