Lotta post-punk bands experimenting with funk at the time. Kids tended to act too cool to dance though. Here are a couple that would practically lasso you onto the dance floor just hearing them. C'mon, shoe-gazers! It's OK to move your hips and shoulders to the beat, just one or two times a year!

God bless you and his family always!!!

P.S. This rendition of the song was released in 1987.
Sounds like a dance song to me, Holly. Also, thank you for your post.

I don't know that much about punk, but I like the first song. But then, that's Talking Heads who had that huge hit in 1983 called Burning Down The House:

How many people realize that "White Lines" is actually a cover of a Liquid Liquid song, "Cavern"? (Actually, a complete rip-off that demoralized Liquid Liquid's record label.) Hear for yourself, they deserve the shout-out:

You're welcome, Holly. Also, keep 'em coming.

Plus, here's a really hot one from the year 1980. (Especially, the mid-song breakdowns at 2:41 and 4:52. )

The Brothers Johnson - Stomp!:
