It's called the "Cotton Eyed Joe"
There are 100's of versions of it.
I've been dancing to it since I was a small child ... a LONG LONG time ago.
Ricky Skaggs sang it with the Chieftains
A band called Red Nex sang it about 10 years ago and got it on MTV.

the song is called "cotton-eyed joe". it's a traditional country song, so it's been done by lots of people. but the one you're probably used to hearing was done by Rednex.
here's the lyrics:
If it hadn't been for cotton-eye joe
I'd been married long time ago
Where did you come from? Where did you go?
Where did you come from cotton-eye joe?
[ hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey ]
He came to town like a midwinter storm
He rode through the fields so handsome and strong
His eyes was his tools and his smile was his gun
But all he had come for was having some fun
He brought disaster wherever he went
The hearts of the girls was to hell broken sent
They all ran away so nobody would know
And left only men cause of cotton-eye joe

HELENA-MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE!
"Helena"
Long ago
Just like the hearse you die to get in again
WE ARE SO FAR FROM YOU
Burning on just like a match you strike to incinerate
The lives of everyone you know
And what's the worst you take (worst you take)
from every heart you break (heart you break)
And like the blade you stain (blade you stain)
Well I've been holding on tonight
[Chorus]
What's the worst that I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
Came a time
When every star fall brought you to tears again
We are the very hurt you sold
And what's the worst you take (worst you take)
from every heart you break (heart you break)
And like the blade you stain (blade you stain)
Well I've been holding on tonight
[Chorus]
What's the worst that I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
And if you carry on this way
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
Can you hear me?
Are you near me?
Can we pretend to leave and then
We'll meet again
When both our cars collide?
[Chorus]
What's the worst that I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
And if you carry on this way
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight

Bob Seger did "Catmando" in the 70's...he's more southern rock though.
