"Personal Jesus" by Depeche Mode, released in 1989. One of my favorite songs. My child and I like to dance around to this song with the volume raised as loud as we can have it (without hurting our ears):

"Surrender" by Cheap Trick. My best friend and I listened to it back in the early 80s soon after it was released and I've liked it ever since.

"Major Tom" by Peter Schilling (English version, but German version also is good!):

"Come on Eileen" by Dexy's Midnight Runners:

Hmmm...is it obvious that I was a teenager in the early 80s?
"Two Princes" by Spin Doctors. I first heard this song with my future ex-fiance, so now I associate it with him, but I still like dancing to the beat:

"New Age Girl" by Deadeye Dick. I first heard this song while working in the lab in the 1990's and always stopped to dance around to it. While the song is a little annoying (describing a woman in a sexual way...ho hum, old theme), I suppose I am biased toward the song because it is about a vegetarian in Iowa! Also, the video is amusing, because we run around a lot with pumpkins on our heads in Iowa (actually, we don't, but it would be funny if we did).

As an aside, I find it interesting that Trance music, which many people seem to like to dance to, only inspires me to do one thing: turn...it...off. The last time I went to a club (in Turkey in a resort town in the 90's), they were playing a lot of trance-type music, devoid of meaning and heavy on the beat, and I found myself getting progressively angrier and angrier at the mindless, pulsing music...maybe because it seems to encourage people to go inward rather than think about what is outside themselves.
