"Monday, Tuesday... Laissez-moi danser" is a 1979-released disco single by French recording-artist Dalida.
It topped the French chart in 1979, and had considerable success throughout Europe. The song was written, and originally recorded in, Italian, by Toto Cutugno in 1978, under the title "Voglio l'Anima". Dalida recorded the song in three languages; French, Spanish; "Dejame 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".
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.
The French version of the song was released on the 1979 album "Dédié À Toi (Monday Tuesday)". It also features on the recent compilation "Dalida 70: Les Années Disco".
In 2004, the song was covered by Star Academy 4 in France, under the shorter name "Laissez-moi danser". This version was released as single in September 2004 and was successful, reached number one for six weeks on the French and Belgian Singles Charts. As of August 2014, the song was the 27th best-selling single of the 21st century in France, with 505,000 units sold.
