Rhythm Is a Dancer

American singer Thea Austin sang the chorus that turned "Rhythm Is a Dancer" into one of 1992's biggest hits, and she also received a writing credit on the track. The song was released in March 1992 by Arista and Logic Records as the second single from Snap!'s second studio album, The Madman's Return, credited to the German Eurodance group formed by producers Michael Münzing and Luca Anzilotti under the aliases Benito Benites and John "Virgo" Garrett III.

The single almost never made it out of the album. Good club reactions changed Logic's mind, and the label arranged a private test at its own discotheque, the Omen, where the track's instant appeal to dancers first became clear. Rapper Turbo B rejected the song when he first heard it, yet went on to add a rap stanza to the seven-inch version. His line "I'm serious as cancer when I say rhythm is a dancer" drew criticism, and he reportedly responded to it with "No way am I singing that shit!", though a similar phrase had appeared in James Brown's 1975 re-recording of Sex Machine. The album version instead carried a spoken-word passage adapted from an essay by John Perry Barlow, performed by studio engineer Daniel Iribarren.

Commercially the record topped the charts of 11 countries and spent six weeks at number one in the United Kingdom, where it became the second-biggest-selling single of the year. The music video, directed by Howard Greenhalgh, was filmed at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida.
