Al Dean and the All Stars has a great version of Cotton Eyed Joe, at 2:22,
that works great for dance. Completely instrumental. I have used this
version for the couple dance, but have not tried it with the line dance.
This is long enough that most dancers are tired by the end.

I use the version by Asleep at the Wheel because it's good music, and the
lyrics don't use the words, "step in what? BULL SH|+!" And it's more
than
four minutes, which provides a nice interlude length.
