..... absolutely nothing to do with ships but, with all the hoo-haa about The Beatles LOVE ME DO entering the pop charts 50 years ago, by co-incidence a new entry in the UK Top 50 for 6 October 1962 was the previously mentioned LET'S DANCE by Chris Montez at no. 46.
In the useless information category Cliff Richard's DO YOU WANT TO DANCE? had dropped out of the charts a month previously. For other "dance" title songs see:

George, I see we have to wait another 5 years yet for bare-footed Sandie Shaw and PUPPET ON A STRING!
