The Sound of Dancing

There's probably a thread about this already but you try finding it. Any songs which include the sounds of actual dancing on them? Not the sound of dancers a-hootin' and a-hollerin' 'cos there's probably hundreds of Scottish country dance albums with that on them.

Morris On, "Lads a' Bunchum/ Young Collins"

Steeleye Span, "Copshawholme Fair" (at the end)

Is it Noah & the Whale that have a tap dancer instead of a drummer or something to thta effect.

Was thinking there was tapdancing on something on Raw Power by Iggy & The Stooges but could be thinking of fencing/swordfighting

re Noah and the Whale, you may be thinking of Tilly and the Wall:

The Unthanks also have a tapdancer. Coincidentally they're on tv right now.

Chic - "My Feet Keep Dancing" (not sure if it's actual tap dancing or not, but sounds like it)

Me too. One of Bailey's all-time best. Some of the most sublime moments happen when he's not even playing.

It's a thread about records that have the sound of people dancing on them. Surely must be a few with tap dancing on them?
