Origin of Bust-a-move

The original usage of this phrase is "to dance." It was popularized in the 1989 single of the same name by rapper Young MC, who tells (in the song) of his several attempts to find (seduce) a woman in various places and failing to be able to do so because he can't dance; he isn't able to "bust a move."
