hmmm, there must be something lost in translation, I watched for signs of Foot Banging, but I'm afraid there wasn't even a slight twitch with that first one, must admit I couldn't make it all the way through. Couldn't even bring myself to press play on the second
 
It must be the 'Horse Race' thing I guess.

No no, no, never shoot the messenger, but the message is fair game
 
I think there just must be different definitions of 'Foot Banging and Tapping'
 
Something like this would make me Tap or Bang my foot, and just look at all those happy Tappers and Bangers
 

 
 
Now that's Tappin' and Bangin'

I think you should, at least, go back and listen to the first minute of Aretha's song.  I must also admit that I didn't make it far into the first song - I kept waiting for the parts that would make my foot move, but they never came...

Bang your own foot, huh?... I guess the upside is the maneuver wouldn't require the removal of a couple of ribs to achieve, but aren't you worried about hip dysplasia?

See I love Aretha's voice, but I have to admit I find that one-chord soul groove kinda boring unless someone's blowing over the top of it. I definitely prefer something with a bit more harmonic interest.... I Say A Little Prayer, now there's a GREAT song...it's got that back beat, it's got soul, a fantastic melody, great chords and rhythmic interest. Gets my foot banging every time even though it's a relatively mellow kind of tune. 
 
As for the tune I posted, well I guess horses for courses lol....personally I love that acid jazz sound, there would often be rooms playing this kind of stuff at the "artier" raves and house parties in the late 80's and early 90's. Yes it's kinda cheesy but I don't know, gets me moving. Perhaps it's the memories....
 
There were some great old jazz funk tunes doing the rounds among the acid jazz DJ's back then, I love anything with cool horn riffs, breakbeats and outside playing. This is one I remember from back then, Patrice Rushen (of "Forget Me Nots" fame) with "Haw Right Now." The keyboard solo in this not only gets my foot banging but my fist pumping too...
