Tap dancing: What's the appeal?

I watch Lawrence Welk almost every Saturday evening, but one thing which makes me turn the channel is the tap dancing number. I find it mildly annoying. I know Gene Kelly and other famous actors were big on this, but I can only take a few seconds of this before I start to get antsy and feel the need to move on to better music. Anyone actually like tap dancing and, more to the point, are there tap dancing albums out there that could illustrate how good this famous and oft-ignored kinda performance is?

I am 7 years older than my wife. When I was like 17,there was a talent show in my hometown and I had some friends in a band who were in the competition. My future wife,who would have been around 10, was also in it with two other girls. They were tap dancing. All I can remember is laughing at them with my friends. Little did I know some years later I would marry her. Oh and she still gets mad when I bring up this story because I laughed at her tap dancing.
