I can not believe you do not remember that song....well, you are a "foreigner"....I keep forgetting that.....hmmmmm.....let's see, last time the song was out in popular play was in the movie, "The Blues Brothers".....have you not ever seen that? OK....you really must look the song up.....I have it by James and Bobby Purify...the same ones who did "I'm Your Puppet"...but, I'm pretty sure their version was a remake....and they did it in the 60's! OK...I just went out to find the words.....(the things I will do for you!)

Krisles...
Dancing is letting the music go in your ears and flow through the rest of your body. I would love to watch you dance, it sounds like you really "get into it". I don't know how many people I've watched who don't even follow the music, they look like they're walking on oatmeal. In the late '60s there was a club called the "joint" wink, wink, and the house band was the "universal joint" who played a lot of Hendrix, Cream, Zepplin and a few originals. More than once I got so wound up in the music, I sent my glasses flying. Whew! Good times. Dance on!

Ha....caught you dancing again. Can't stay still for long, can you? I know and remember all those great tunes you listed. Well, except for the "Bend over/tailfeathers" one. You got me there, but it made me laugh. Nothing like losing yourself in a good crowd zeitgeist, eh?

It's true!
Kris, you nailed it. There is nothing better than having a lot of people digging your jam. In my last band, we had two originals that sort of became underground hits. One was a silly little ditty that featured these awesome, three-part CSN type harmonies -- it was called "Smokin' A Bowl" and everywhere we went, people would scream for it, sing to it, and just get off.
The other one was one our lead singer and I did called "Let Those Colors Fly" and it became a major hit with the Navy and Marines. In fact, one devil dog told me that was the song playing on his ship when he finally left Iraq.
I would love to have a stadium full having a screaming good time -- as it is, the best one was a festival in the Lowcountry, with about 4,000, great, great, time, and it's funny, but the band and the crowd gets sort of a mutual thing going -- one constantly rising for the other.
It's really not about playing to so much as playing with your crowd.
