The "Rowing Dance" Song

[brianx]

Can someone please help me remember the title of a song. I was in a disco in Liverpool in the late 70s early 80sish and a record came on that required people to sit on the floor in a sort of conga and do rowing boat actions, there was also a lot of arm waving and swaying from side to side. As this took place when sitting on the floor it was the perfect dance for someone like me who can't dance but likes to have a go. Anyone know the song?
Any other good dances for people who can't dance you can think of? Sitting down to a James' song doesn't count as that's not dancing but taking things too literally.

Thanks Biffo that's one. Do you think that if I went to my local Stowaway, Scamps or Ciderella Rockerfellas this evening they play it for me?

"The Bump" I remember doing that at the school disco and the girl I was "dancing" with told me to get lost as my bony hips were hurting her.
