Metal/Hard Rock Songs That Have FUNK (that groove and make you want to dance)

Strange question, but I was listening to WAAF on Friday while I was shoveling my driveway, and Mudshovel by Staind (a band I've always despised because I thought the lead singer whined to much, but this song caught me.) came on and I found myself boppin' about to it while I worked.

It leads me to the question, are there any metal songs off the top of your heads that groove such that they make you want to dance? Let's get a list of tracks going.

P.S. I know Staind isn't really hard metal per se (nu-metal? I hate categorizing music, but hey), but it's hard rock/metal enough for me (any songs you can think of...don't worry about specific metal or hard rock genre). :bassist::bassist::bassist::bassist:
 
There's tons. All I can think of right now is Psychostick (which isn't your every day metal to begin with) and I think Nonpoint has some every once in a while.

System of a Down has a song or two like that, too. So do some of these annoying, post-nu-metal-hardcore-pop-whatever bands with their singers that sound like women but in fact are men. I'm talking about bands like Chiodos, which are popular with the kiddies these days.
