Need a dance song with a dramatic ending

[asking for a friend] Dance song with a dramatic ending?

My friend and I have mashed up a bunch of songs and are coordinating a dance off for a friend's birthday. The last song is Good Feeling by Flo Rida. We wanted to add in a part of a song that would allow us to end in a dramatic choreographed way, rather than just fading out. Anyone have any suggestions of such a portion of a song we could use for dramatic effect? Thanks!

Maybe the last 30 seconds of Walter Murphy and the Big Apple Band - A Fifth of Beethoven.

Louder by flux pavilion.

Dance records tend to be designed to mix out of them. Very few of them have dramatic endings. A lot of them have dramatic middles, just fade out after a big build up like this record has.

Which version of Good Feeling are you using? Some of the versions I'm finding already have a dramatic ending at right around 3:55. This one, for instance. That seems like it would work, no?

Otherwise, maybe you could use a song that ends on a yelled word. Creature ends a lot of songs this way; I'm thinking specifically of Pop Culture -- you could go from about 3:00 to the end ("Dance with me, sister ... pop!"), and I feel like it's a decent match for Good Feeling. However, you could also use Brigitte Bardot ("satellite!"), Kandahar ("wa-hoo!"), or many others. Le Tigre also has plenty of songs that end this way (TKO, Deceptacon, etc.).
