1979 single by the Gap Band
"I Don't Believe You Want to Get Up and Dance (Oops!)" (re-titled "Oops Up Side Your Head" on the single as well as being known by other titles such as "Oops Upside Your Head") is a 1979 song recorded by the R&amp;B group the Gap Band. Released off their fourth studio album, "The Gap Band II", the song and its parent album both achieved commercial success.
The single was released in several countries in different formats. In the United States, it was a 12" with the B-side being "Party Lights". In the Netherlands, the 12" B-side was "The Boys Are Back in Town". In France, the single was a 7" with no B-side.
In the UK, the track first surfaced in mid-late 1979 as the B-side of the 12" release of "The Boys Are Back in Town" / "Steppin' (Out)". Then in 1980, due to its popularity, it was flipped and re-titled with just "The Boys Are Back in Town" as the B-side. It was later released once again as the B-side to some copies of the remix version of "Party Lights". In 1987, a 12" remix was released in the UK with a dub version B-side.
The single became an international hit for the group upon its late 1979 release. Though it failed to reach the "Billboard" Hot 100 (peaking at number two on its Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart), the song hit the top ten on the US R&amp;B and disco charts and became a big-seller outside the US where it peaked at number six in the UK in 1980 and number six in the Netherlands.
Legacy.
The song was reworked in 1990 by Eurodance group Snap! for their single "Ooops Up".
In 1996, the song was heavily sampled in Snoop Dogg's "Snoop's Upside Ya Head", which also featured Gap Band lead vocalist Charlie Wilson.
In April 2015, it was announced that the writers of "Oops Up Side Your Head" had had their names added to the writing credits of Mark Ronson's hit single "Uptown Funk".
Football.
The phrase "Oops Upside your Head" has been widely repurposed as a Football chant in Britain and Ireland. 
In Ireland, the melody is famous as the basis for the chant "Ooh, Ahh, Paul McGrath" (paying homage to the Irish international football player). In 1990, a supergroup of Irish musicians (including Zrazy and Paul Cleary) known as Watch Your House released a single titled "Ooh, Ahh, Paul McGrath" to mark Ireland's entry into the World Cup. The single was unable to receive airplay as the sample from the Gap Band had not been cleared. In the early 2010s, the chant was sampled again by an Irish group - this time the Rubberbandits, with their single "Up The Ra".
