This has been bugging me forever. Can anyone help me identify a song that was popular right around the time of the Divinyls' song, "I Touch Myself"? It was a dance/pop type of song that had a sample of a man giving a dancing lesson/dance steps.

Can I ask how you knew he was giving dancing lessons? Was it a part of the music video or did the lyrics reveal that? Or was it more like "Puttin' on the Ritz" where you heard tap dancing as part of the song?

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

I vaguely recall the song you're thinking of, but I can't remember a thing about it. The only songs that actually pop into my head are:

2NU - This is Ponderous
Club Des Belugas - Hip Hip Chin Chin

But I don't think either of those are what you're looking for.

I was thinking Lisa Lisa's remix of Let the Beat Hit 'Em, but that's not "dance lessons," it's "how to set up a stereo." One of my faves from that era.

I never saw a music video that I can think of, but there may have been one. The man said something to the effect of "step back, move to the left, take 2 steps forward..." etc in the sample.


None of those mentioned so far is it. Thanks all for the responses.

No, not that. I want to say it was more obscure and not as much of a "hit" as that. It was played on Top 40 stations, but I think it may have been by more of a one-hit wonder type of artist. But, I guess, that defines many songs from the early 90's.

I knew it was "How to Dance" but couldn't recall the artist- took me a while to think of Bingoboys.
enjoy

I kept thinking it was called "Dance Lesson", but I knew that couldn't be right.

Oh, my god, I love you, that's awesome. As soon as I started playing it, I knew that was it. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I love the power of the Internet.

Thanks again, all, and especially JoeKv!

I am just glad that encyclopedic knowledge is occasionally good for something.

I'm just glad someone could recall the early 90s. 1989-1995 is all sort of a blur for me.

Encyclopedic knowledge is never a bad thing. If there was a video, I hope this was it.
