"Monday Tuesday... Laissez moi danser" is a 1979 disco single by French-Italian recording artist Dalida. It was a number-one hit and the biggest success of the disco period in France.
It topped the French chart in 1979, and had considerable success throughout Europe. The song was written by Toto Cutugno who offered it to Dalida and himself recorded it in Italian, under the title "Voglio l'anima". Dalida recorded the song in three languages; French, Spanish; "Déjame bailar", and English; "Let Me Dance Tonight". The English-language version was released on 7" single, backed with an English version of "Il venait d'avoir 18 ans".
The French version of the song was released on her 1979 album Dédié à toi . It is also featured on numerous posthomous compilation albums.
A video was not made to accompany the original release; however, Dalida did make several TV appearances performing the song. A 2001 remix by French disco-artist Cerrone, which samples his 1981 track "Took Me So Long", is accompanied by a video, using archive footage and computer-generated effects.
