Dance Songs from the late 80's/early 90's

So I am trying to get back on the gym tip and have found the popular dance songs, back from when there was a 103.5, are what gets my arse moving on the pre-cor.

I need to put together a couple of new gym mixes.. so, please post some crazy dance songs from back in the day.

I'll start... one of my favorites from like 8th grade was "Dancing on the Fire" by India (I think that was her name).

Now, I wonder if that will be on iTunes.

Do you have a copy of Scenario (on an old CD or something)? You could burn it.

Wow, you guys know your stuff. I don't have anything good to add.

But... There was a song in the early 90's that didn't have words but it had a great dance beat to it. And all I remember is that there was the sound of a frog in the background of the song. I cannot for the life of me remember what the heck it was.

Bad description, I know. But if anyone knows what the heck I'm talking about, please put me out of my misery. I've been trying to figure it out for years.

I just remembered a suggestion for you: This is Acid by Maurice. Loved that song.
