* "Mamabo Number Five" by Pérez Prado, covered by Lou Bega.
-->Jump up and down and move it all around,\\
Shake your head to the sound, put your hands on the ground.\\
Take one step left and one step right,\\
One to the front and one to the side.\\
Clap your hands once and clap your hands twice\\
And if it look like this then you're doing it right.

* ''I'm Sorry, I'll Read That Again'' enjoyed doing this on occasion. One of the more memorable ones was the '[[RunningGag Gibbon]] Stuffing' song. It was ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin.

* Sort of parodied by the Goodies in 'The Funky Gibbon'...
* "Do The Reggay" by Toots & The Maytals. Possibly the most successful one of all, since instead of popularizing a dance, it wound up naming an entire genre of music (with a minor change in spelling).
* "The Vatican Rag" by TomLehrer is another satirical example.
* The Funky Gibbon! (HasherBritarse is showing his age again!)

* MC Frontalot has the 'Margaret Thatcher' from his song [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qcrSm_C3lA Wallflowers]], which describes exactly the {{Adorkable}} dance that would be performed by an awkward geek with no idea how to dance. Notable for taking 'vague steps' UpToEleven - after all, if it's an awkward nerd dance, ''you're not supposed to know what you're doing.''
