"Monday, Tuesday... Laissez-moi danser" ("Let Me Dance") is a 1979 disco single by French-Italian recording artist Dalida. It was a number-one hit and the biggest success of the disco period in France.

Description

The song was written by Toto Cutugno who offered it to Dalida and recorded it himself to Italian lyrics by Cristiano Minellono, under the title "Voglio l'anima" ("I Want the Soul"). Dalida recorded the song in three languages; French, Spanish; "Déjame bailar", and English; "Let Me Dance Tonight". The English-language version was released on 7" single, backed with an English version of "Il venait d'avoir 18 ans".

The French version of the song was released on her 1979 album Dédié à toi. It topped the French chart in 1979, and had considerable success throughout Europe, thus also featuring on numerous posthumous compilation albums.

A video was not made to accompany the original release; however, Dalida did make several TV appearances performing the song. A 2001 remix by French disco-artist Cerrone, which samples his 1981 track "Took Me So Long", is accompanied by a video, using archive footage and computer-generated effects.
