Songs with dances in the title

[lockhartgary]

Mickey's Monkey
Twistin' Postman
Come On Do the Jerk
Can You Jerk Like Me?
Shotgun
Hitchhike

All of the above songs were original compositions released on various Motown labels, and all contain the names of dances.

I know there are more. Can you name more songs released by Motown that contain the names of dances that are NOT covers?

Mea culpa. Read the title and went to work.

Can You Do It - The Contours

They never found out the name of the dance in the lyrics, so I suppose it could be called "The It".

[arr&bee]

The switcheroo-hank ballard.

[144man]

Not sure about this one, but on listening to The Temptations' "Nursery Rhyme Time", the lyric appears to be about a dance called "The Nursery Rhyme".

[motony]

I thought it was original MOTOWN songs.

[144man]

Another vaulted Motown dance song from the early 60's is Popcorn Wylie's "Goose Wobbling Time".
[Released on the 2016 Ace compilation "More Motown Guys"]

Down And Under When You Limbo - Marvin Gaye

[stupidactingsmart]

"How Funky Is Your Chicken?" by the Jackson 5 from 3rd Album.

[splanky]

You don't owe anybody an apology, Jerry. It didn't say only Motown in the title and it
wasn't even posted in the Motown section. Some of listen to music outside of Motown
regardless of what favorites we might enjoy within it...
