"I Don't Feel Like Dancin'" kicked off Ta-Dah, Scissor Sisters' second album, in 2006, and it came with a serious ringer on the keys: Elton John co-wrote it with Jason Sellards and Babydaddy and plays the piano himself. Babydaddy also played bass and recorded it, Paddy Boom drummed, and the band produced it with extra production from Dan Grech-Marguerat.
It's a strutting dance-pop throwback sung in falsetto, and critics at The Guardian and The Sun heard shades of Leo Sayer's 1976 "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing" in its tempo, arrangement and subject, while the rhythm piano tips its hat to the Four Seasons' "December, 1963 (Oh, What a Night)". It became their first top-10 single in many countries and went to number one in nine. Veronica Cartwright is on the cover.
