Dance Craze Songs
A list of songs with an associated dance craze. Ideally the song lyrics should explain how to do the dance.
- Agadoo: Black Lace. The fourth worst song ever?
- The Bump: Kenny. Ludicrous seventies dance.
- Do The Funky Chicken: Rufus Thomas.
- The Chicken Song: Spitting Image.
- (Do Do Do) The Funky Gibbon: The Goodies.
- Macarena: Los Del Rio.
- Oops Upside Your Head: The GAP band. Sitting on the floor, rowing - what was all that about?
- (Do The) Push & Pull: Rufus Thomas.
- The Resurrection Shuffle: Ashton, Gardner, and Dyke.
- Superman: Black Lace.
- The Time Warp: Rocky Horror Show.
- The Twist: Hank Ballard & The Midnighters, and later covered by Chubby Checker.
- Land Of 1000 Dances: Just About Everybody. Too general.

Eponymous Tracks
Not albums, oh no. That would be too easy. What we want here are tracks with exactly the same name as their performer.
- Hi Tension: Hi Tension
- M.E.T.H.O.D. Man: Method Man. Or is that cheating?
- Talk Talk: Talk Talk
- They Might Be Giants: They Might Be Giants
