It's Tuesday Wordplay time, with a variation on a word I know I used in one of my very early TW games...

1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist...

1. On the floors of Tokyo
Or down in London towns a go go
With the record selection
And the mirror's reflection

2. Man, I ain't getting nowhere
I'm just living in a dump like this
There's something happening somewhere
Baby, I just know that there is

3. And in a world of people
There's only you and I
There ain't nothing come
Between us in the end

4. My baby moves at midnight
Goes right on till the dawn, yeah
My woman takes me higher
My woman keeps me warm

5. That`s where the big bands
Used to come and play
My sister went there
On a Saturday

6. Yellin' in motion
Keep on doin' the locomotion, yeah
Dont worry, little babe
Shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, yes!

7. Captivating, stimulating
She`s such a sexy lady
Filled with space age design

8. Well you know you can't stop it
When they start to play
You gotta get out the way

9. Everybody start to lose control When the music is right
If you see somebody hangin' around don't get uptight

10. You've got a cute way of talking
You've got the better of me
Just snap your fingers and I'm walking
Like a dog hanging on your lead

11. I got a two-track playin' in my head
So let me take you somewhere else instead

12. Countdown It's getting near to the flight time
Night stars are shining in my eyes
Ma says I'm gonna be the first one
To dance the be-bop in the skies

Kroxquo Bonus: Name another song with artist that has the magic word of the day in the title.

You've already used Dancing Queen and Dancing in the Moonlight so I feel like it would be cheating to use one of them. How about Dancing On Your Grave from the Musical Christmas Carol starring Kelsey Grammer

Shadow Dancing - Andy Gibb

I was just thinking the other day that Barry was the only Gibb left standing and (I think) he was the eldest. Pretty sure that Andy has been gone longer than he was here, which is mind boggling to me... my sister had a poster of him on the wall wearing these pink satin pants that practically showed what he had for breakfast that morning.

4. My baby moves at midnight
Goes right on till the dawn, yeah
My woman takes me higher
My woman keeps me warm

You Should Be Dancing - Bee Gees

Ha! See above...

5. That`s where the big bands
Used to come and play

Come Dancing - The Kinks

6. Yellin' in motion

I'll leave it at that since I'm sure T-Bone mentioned Jimmy Hart...

7. Captivating, stimulating
She`s such a sexy lady
Filled with space age design

Dancing Machine - Jackson 5

I always hear the breakdown in this song along with the accompanying image of Cher doing the robot...

8.
Well you know you can't stop it
When they start to play
You gotta get out the way

9. Everybody start to lose control When the music is right
If you see somebody hangin' around don't get uptight

Dancing on the Ceiling - Lionel Richie

10. You've got a cute way of talking
You've got the better of me
Just snap your fingers and I'm walking
Like a dog hanging on your lead

You Make Me Feel Like Dancing - Leo Sayer

One of the highlights of Slap Shot, in a movie full of them. Nothing like Paul Newman getting down on the dance floor in a butterscotch leather jacket and high waisted plaid flares...

11. I got a two-track playin' in my head
So let me take you somewhere else instead

Dancing in the Sheets - Shalimar

Dammit....

12. Countdown It's getting near to the flight time

1. On the floors of Tokyo
Or down in London towns a go go
With the record selection
And the mirror's reflection
Dancing With Myself - Billy Idol (Like Huey, William Broad is best remembered for his early songs... but it was his later hits that got all the chart love.)

2. Man, I ain't getting nowhere
I'm just living in a dump like this
There's something happening somewhere
Baby, I just know that there is
Dancing in the Dark - Bruce Springsteen (Maybe one of the more famous Top 40 runners up....)

3. And in a world of people
There's only you and I
There ain't nothing come
Between us in the end
Shadow Dancing - Andy Gibb (Mecca earworm...)

4. My baby moves at midnight
Goes right on till the dawn, yeah
My woman takes me higher
My woman keeps me warm
You Should Be Dancing - Bee Gees (I love disco, and this is my favorite disco song...)

Used to come and play

Filled with space age design
Dancing Machine - Jackson 5

8. Well you know you can't stop it

The Politics of Dancing - Re-flex (I was so happy when this became a Mecca earworm last year.... a GREAT lost 80's hit by a band who didn't do much else)

9. Everybody start to lose control When the music is right
If you see somebody hangin' around don't get uptight
Dancing on the Ceiling - Lionel Richie (I always have to look up whether his last name has a T or not. Maybe because I remember the former pitcher Todd Ritchie...)

10. You've got a cute way of talking
You've got the better of me
Just snap your fingers and I'm walking
Like a dog hanging on your lead
You Make Me Feel Like Dancing - Leo Sayer

11. I got a two-track playin' in my head
So let me take you somewhere else instead
Dancing in the Sheets - Shalamar (Despite being in Footloose and the video being all over MTV in 1984, this somehow wasn't a Top 10 hit...)

12. Countdown It's getting near to the flight time
Night stars are shining in my eyes
Ma says I'm gonna be the first one
To dance the be-bop in the skies
Dancing in Heaven (Orbital Be-Bop) - Q-feel (Dammit! Now I miss Esto's absence this year, because he liked to mention this was a KROQ classic. THE best dance song of all time, and the only good thing about my sisters wwearing out the VHS of "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" back in the day...)

Image Bonus: If you know the word, show me a fitting image!

I had to watch the GIF again and again and again to make sure I saw what I thought I saw.... and I did! Krox gets the IBB for gratuitous flashing in an otherwise innocent clip of GGTDM!

JJC Points:

Weasel gets 2 JJC points for shaking his booty...

ear gets 2 JJC points because the line he left outside the spoiler was serendipity at its finest...

Krox gets a supermax for flashing Gene...

TBone gets 2 JJC points for the Jimmy Hart factoid and for Mecca shoppers in yoga pants...

Hottie gets a JJC point for flashbacks to VH1 Classic's glory days.... and not good ones!

melly gets a JJC point for making me look up CYO...

Earl gets 2 JJC points for Andy Gibb's breakfast and for making TBone seem predictable...
