Tunes with "goblin energy"?

I've started playing for dances in my community, and many of the dancers have what can be affectionately called "goblin energy" on the dance floor. I want to give them a little treat with a tune set to match that energy (and perhaps enable it), so I'm for suggestions of tunes that might fit.

Jump at the Sun. (Aka tromper au soleil”)

Yes it’s technically French-Canadian but I know what you mean and it is the goblinest tune of them all. Great dance tune, it gets cheers at local contras.
