Just a general inquiry ... does anyone have any songs that they just can't help but jump up and dance to? Mind are: Oyo Como Va (any version) - INCOMING CHA-CHA!!! Bailamos, Enrique Whenever Wherever, Shakira Shame I can't samba worth a damn (go figure, I that is what happens when you don't take lesson in samba!).

depends on my mood, but some favorites include: ya ya ya ya(rumba) rumkalo(sp?, samba) cult of snap(samba) pata pata(cha cha) Let's get loud(cha cha)
Two socks at play(waltz) Theme from Papillon(waltz)
a few others which I recognize the music, but don't remember the name.
Yeah, you are right about pata pata & let's get loud. I can't sit still on those 2. Another favourite chacha is sway, not the old dean Martin version, but the 2-year old club version. I still play it often.
There are many great samba songs, old and new, out there. cha cha chica, you should take at least a couple of lessons on samba to take advantage of all those great songs.
The newer ones: La bomba by King Africa E-O-Zumba-E by King Africa Toma Que Toma by Los Ninos La Vida Es Un Carnaval
The older ones: Collegiala Chasumba El baile de osito Coco jumbo Baila baila comigo
I think it's Rumbakalao by Azuquito but I'm not sure of the spelling either. Very good samba though.

I find it interesting that in this part of town, in clubs & school, "Jack is back"(clan) is played as mambo, not jive, while "La bomba"(the version by Ricky Martin) is played as salsa/mambo, not samba.

Is Jive really considered a social dance in the environment in question? It doesn't seem to be very popular here in Boston, except when collegiate ballroomers wander into clubs (to the apparent annoyance of those who favor other swing forms). Wheras a street-style mambo basic is pretty darn simple to do at almost any tempo...
"Let The Good Times Roll": either the Louis Jordan or Ray Charles version "Rockhouse": Ray Charles "Fever": Peggy Lee
WC Swing:
"Doin' It To Death": James Brown & the JB's "Cold Shot": Stevie Ray Vaughn "Rough Edges": WC Clark
Hustle
