"Dance, Dance" was the second single from From Under the Cork Tree, Fall Out Boy's second album, in 2005, and it's pop-punk with its hips unlocked. The hook is that bass line, a strutting, rubber-band thing that Patrick Stump actually wrote on an acoustic guitar, with David Bowie's "Modern Love" in the back of his mind. Bassist Pete Wentz handled the lyrics, and all four members, Stump, Wentz, Joe Trohman and Andy Hurley, share the music credit.
Neal Avron produced and Tom Lord-Alge mixed it, keeping it tight and bright for radio without dulling its bite. It reached number nine on the Hot 100, their second top-ten hit in a row, went top ten in Canada and the UK, and won the Viewer's Choice award at the MTV Video Music Awards. Stump later called it probably the best thing he had made.
