"Pirates Across The Atlantic" by Andrea Nettleton has a figure-8 chase 
move at the start that's based on the English dance "Dancing Across The 
Atlantic."  The floor always gets really goofy when I call that one.  It 
has the double advantage of being a nice solid contra dance as well as 
having a silly bit.  It's not just a gimmick with a couple of swings 
stuck to it.
