"Dance Yrself Clean" kicks off This Is Happening, LCD Soundsystem's third album, which landed in May 2010, and James Murphy wrote and produced it himself. It's a slow-burning fuse of a dance track, patient and nervy and then flat-out euphoric, the kind of opener that dares you to keep your coat on.
Critics couldn't stop ranking it. It made a stack of best-of-2010 lists, the Pazz & Jop poll among them, and it kept showing up when the decade was tallied: Paste put it at number one of the 2010s, Pitchfork and Stereogum had it on their lists, and Billboard's staff called it the eighth-best dance song of those ten years. Kid Cudi sampled it for "All Talk" almost straight away.
