"Dance Floor" a song performed by Zapp. It is the opening track from the band's second studio album Zapp II and serves as the album's second single. The song did not chart on the Billboard Hot 100,[4] but it spent two weeks at #1 on the R&B chart, becoming the band's only song to date to reach #1 on the chart.[5]
When Zapp vocalist Roger Troutman collaborated with Dr. Dre and 2Pac for 1995's "California Love," Troutman used the talk box and interpolated the "Shake it" vocal from "Dance Floor" into "California Love."
