"Get on Your Feet" is a single by Gloria Estefan. It was released in 1989 in the U.S., Japan, and the UK, and in 1990 in Europe as the second single from the album Cuts Both Ways.
In the popular viral video "Steve Ballmer Going Crazy", Steve Ballmer danced and screamed wildly to this song at a Microsoft employee convention.
The song was covered by Fantasia Barrino on the third season of American Idol, during a Gloria Estefan-themed episode.
Gloria performed this song with Sheila E. during the seventh season edition of the American Idol charity fundraiser Idol Gives Back. The performance was released as a single and as a video at the US iTunes Store to raise money for charities in Africa and the United States.
The song was included in several episodes in the fourth season of the NBC comedy Parks and Recreation.

The Butterfly, that's old
Let me see the Tootsee Roll
Yeah, 1994
69 Boys backed up by the door next to the DJ
(chorus 1)
Cotton candy sweet to go, let me see that Tootsee Roll
Come on, Tootsee Roll, just make that Tootsee Roll
Here we go, Tootsee Roll, yeah, Tootsee Roll
Let me see that Tootsee Roll
Get on the floor and make that Tootsee Roll
(Chorus 2)
To the left, to the left, to the right, to the right
To the front, to the front, to the back, to the back
Now dip, baby, dip, come on dip, baby, dip
Dip, baby, dip, just dip, baby dip
Just dip, cotton candy free to go
Let me see the Tootsee Roll
I don't know what you've been told
It ain't the butterfly, it's the Tootsee Roll
A brand new dance
Grab a partner and get on the dance floor
And work them hips a little bit
Get to that dip a little bit
Oh yeah, you got it, no whips, baby, no buts about it
And you over there with the long hair
Keep pumpin' that hair up 'cause it ain't hard
Just a brand new dance far the 1991
69 is the place to be, AOC, is what we came to see
(Chorus 4)
I feel a whoop, domino, a whoop, domino
Say what, I feel a whoop, domino, a whoop, domino
Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop
Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop
Chorus 1, 2
I fell a whoop, domino, a whoop, domino
Say what, I feel a whoop, domino, a whoop, domino
5, 4, 3, 2, 1
Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop
Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop
Verse 1
The butterfly that's old
Chorus 1, 2, 3, 4
Just roll (until song fades)
