I've got a feeling/On the Floor (Challenge: fast danceclub music)

 I got a feeling= I've got a feeling
gonna= is going to=future plan

This next video is fast, it needs a LOT of commas, it deliberately contains bad grammar,  and it features drug references that I don't completely understand. Even so,  I think it's good for listening and speaking.  I particularly like the rhythm in the collocations.

We gon' be it on the floor = we are going to be the most special people on the floor.
cos or cuz=cause=because  cuz is becoming really common on lyric videos and in texting.
Don't use "cos" in a formal letter or job application.
If your an animal should be you're.  You're = you are.  Your is possessive for you.

Do you like to dance?  What kind of dancing do you enjoy?  Do you ever go to clubs to dance?
Do you have a favorite club in this area?
