Heard song 4 on my mp3 player at work today. Couldn't dance while driving the forklift, though.

Pain Of Salvation's Disco Queen?

That comes to mind, although it can be argued that it isn't really a metal song, even though it has heavier parts here and there.

Great suggestion, i agree that the song isn't very metal, but it might get it place on my list since the band is featured here. CHEERS!

Rapsutin cover is great and highly catchy, but I already have the album it came off listed. The Carnival in Coal song is so groovy, like it and adding to list.

Def Leppard'-Pour Some Sugar On Me should be in a list.

Hmmm... just listened to that song and not getting any dancing feeling from it. I will re-think before I add to the list. Thanks for the contribution anyways.

you must be a chronic hopper choreographer. i didn't try to dance to any Metal stuff but it seems little fucking crazy doing over that. if you really want to embrace your dancing skills, you should probably start spinning 2pac or Eminem tracks.

Em? Don't you mean D-12?

I'll throw out something by System Of A Down as a "Suggestion" (click to their Discography & scroll down - titles are rather obvious, plus the very first song mentioned) and Judas Priest's "Turbo Lover" on behalf of a couple other people. Perhaps also the last one(s) here...

System edit - basically anything on the first album might suit

For Em, D-12 was the pro camp for many years. He learned all his rap skills, beefs-collision atrocious freestyle rapping, fighting and more importantly aggression. He stood up from there incredibly and made his own goddamn talented island.

btw, System Of "Amusement" Down' is more off a headbanging stuff rather than dancing your ass two and fro for it, leaving some exception songs( uhm...VIOLENT PORNOGRAPHY!!) behind.

HAHAHA This is just a different side for me, I don't usually dance to metal, but Blood Stain Child made it possible, so I blame them and myself for listening to them. I mostly to metal more than dance. This list was only a bit of fun.
