toe-tappers

Rhythmically irresistible tunes

Toe-tappers are songs or tunes with catchy, rhythmic beats that make you want to tap your feet or move along.

The term suggests music that's lively and infectious without necessarily being profound—good-time songs that get a physical response.

The band played nothing but toe-tappers all night.

A toe-tapper, in the singular, is one such song.
