    "I Met Him on the Dance Floor"...???

    And that's all I know of the lyrics. It's a female vocalist. I remember liking the drums in the song. (Did they kind of remind me of Amii Stewart's "Knock on Wood"? I dunno. It's all fuzzy.)

    I *think* I danced to this song at an enormous gay bar in Chicago in the early 80's. If so, it would have been the same time that a disco remake of "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" was huge. (There was a "snow storm" inside the disco during that song. Shredded plastic falling forEVER in strobe lighting. Very cool!)

    I feel as though this is an obvious one I should know. But it's been bugging me for years.

    THANKS!

    wild guess...

    might it be "...saw You on the dancefloor..."

    which would lead me to "Dancin' The Night Away" by Voggue??? maybe/ maybe not...
    "Lost inside adorable illusion...."

    Thank you, Markydefad!!!

    I was just coming back here to say, "Uh, maybe it was 'I SAW him on the dancefloor'" and I found your post. So maybe it was "I saw YOU on..."

    I'm not familiar with "Dancin' the Night Away" by Voggue -- at least not by title. I'm off to try to find a clip. Or the CD.

    Thanks again!
