"Elmo's Toothy Dance."

Flashdance was 1983's third highest-grossing film. A romantic drama, its soundtrack featured many hit songs, including "Maniac" and "Flashdance... What a Feeling." Not being a musical in the traditional sense, the film gained additional promotion on the fledgling network MTV, where portions of the film were shown as musical videos, including Jennifer Beals' now-infamous chair dance.
