Just imagine that Dance on would be released in today's climate of drum and bass and dub step. Some good mixes (perhaps one by Skrillex) and BAM a huge dance hit!

It's interesting to note that the song is currently really hot at the place where I DJ and lots of folks can't believe it's from 1988!!

Can we hear an example of the remix you propose?

Imagine a dubstep remix by this fellow for the hardcore clubbers

"Dance On" is a fairly average track and I can't see it being a hit. Not in 1988 and especially not now.

Out of touch? My dear I am the touch.

wrong

but then again with the right push anything couild be a hit..look at all these losers surpassing the true greats records

Dance On?

I hear: "No hit".

Dance On was covered by Capitol K way back in 2000 or so... oh, 2002 um err link

so there's hope yet.

I like Dance On as well as anybody. But a hit - let alone a "huge" one? I doubt it.

Sorry don't care for it. Never have. I also fail to see what it has to do with drum n bass or dubstep.

Because the drum pattern echos early drum and bass in fact the tune pre-dates DnB. Speed it up a bit and you've got a drum and bass tune. And dubstep has progessed from drum and bass (and is shite)

I've spoke to several drum and bass fans over the years who've mentioned dance on in relation to drum and bass.

With the right remix by the right high profile producer, yes of course it could be a hit. If dance remixes of dirty dancing shit can hit the charts so could this.

Thats true, like these slags, they could sell any tune, and did

Yeah, don't see that. It's dated on many levels.

Any song could be a hit if you completely strip away the music that already exists and replace it with a remixed track that sounds exactly like what's popular.

I'm not sure why that would be a special circumstance with "Dance On" in particular.

Dance on has some wild beats, but the song musically speaking is meh.......

This one never sounded like a hit and never will........

But we're not talking about pop charts right? Or even outside the uk? Not sure how dubstep is outside of this country. I really like it apparently.

how about "dance on" (chris morris' dubcake mix) ??

a bit of a mashup with this perhaps?
