Songs that make you happy/want to dance

[greenlung]

Didgeridoo - Aphex Twin

[Hilary B]

OLD ones? Most of the ones mentioned above are a bit too NEW for me!
I've got assorted '60s' collections, plus some Slade, and for the rest it's nearly all folk or classical (and I can dance about, privately to the Radetsky March).
I reckon there ARE newer pieces of music I'd like, but I simply haven't ever listened to enough to find them, so I play safe and stick with the ones I can be sure of.
Occasionally i get to hear somthing that appeals to my son (aged 30), but most of his music is just not for me, and there really isn't anywhere I want to spend time looking for the 'me-style' up-to-date stuff.

[rustylady]

For my sins I will admit to being prone to exhibitionism on the dance floor. Don't know one tune from another and never listen to music. However when in party mood I am known to rock around the clock. The next day I am full of remorse and think OMG what am I like? The music just blows me away.

So anything that has rhythm does it for me.

I'm with Brengirl on this one, specially after a few bevvies. Jailhouse Rock, anything from Dirty Dancing. I ALSO SING ALONG TO THE MUSIC, much to the amusement of my daughters. I do suffer the next day though.

[rustylady]

Some good tunes on here

Don't stop me now - Queen
Waterloo - ABBA (quite a few ABBA ones actually)
Twist and Shout - Beatles
The Boys are Back inTown - Thin Lizzy

So many tunes make me want to get up and shake myself about rather embarrassingly, love having an MP3 so I can listen to stuff during the day while himself is sleeping.

Can you still do the twist Kirsty?? I mean for a whole record!! Cos it kills me now.

[Newbie]

Some of the tunes guaranteed to make me dance (and sing very badly!) like a numpty round the house are:

McAlmont & Butler - Yes
Guns 'n' Roses - Rocket Queen
Black Eyed Peas - I Gotta Feeling
The Bloodhound Gang - The Bad Touch
Christina Aguilera - Dirrty
Garbage - I Think I'm Paranoid
Faith No More - Epic
Kings of Leon - Sex on Fire
Michael Buble - Everything
Nina Simone - Mr Bojangles
Pink - U & ur Hand
Paolo Nutini - Pencil full of Lead
Stereophonics - A Thousand Trees
Supergrass - Time

Could go on all night, sorry the list is a bit long!

[DarkCrow]

Can I Join in??

Sunchyme by Dario G (good tune Reminds me of summer 1996)
The sunscreen song by Baz luhrmann (Just a damn fine lesson, everyone should have a copy no matter how old you are!!)
Back in Black by AC/DC (cause it the bands warmup:-))
Some where some how by Wet Wet Wet (For Loves lost)
Estranged by Guns n' Roses for melodramatic reasons (still makes me smile)
For Whom The Bell Tolls Metallica (Cause i (try and) Play it like Jason Newstead)(Ex bass player for metallica)

[lizzylemon]

More than likely.

It was in my 'Nam* days, shared a house and then flat with some DJ's who only played proper big tunes. Needless to say a lot of it rubbed off on me and I started to emerge from my exclusively indie ways.

* Chelten'NAM

SNAP! Most of my male mates were DJs (some of them really where too) so same for me. Ever venture up to Newmarket for Precious, Sweet Stuff n other 'do's? It would be a tiny world if you did - I just assumed you were Welsh from start to finish!!! My my my!

[mrdinkle]

No, English and I get reminded of that constantly by the Welsh! Especially when the rugby is on.

Did not do Newmarket no, my geography is that bad I wouldn't know how to find it

[Pumpkin Becki]

I love dancing and singing, it makes me so happy!!

Fav songs to sing 'Shake a Tail Feather' Ray Charles,' Losing My Religion' REM, 'Emily' Bowling for Soup and a multitude of others.
Fave song to dance to 'Charlie' The Prodigy (from my clubbing days)...I have a soft spot for 'If you don't know me by now' Simply Red, and...and...

I may have to come back and add to this list - there are just too many possibilities...

[lizzylemon]

Them Welsh boys shouldn't be so sniffy over the Rugga, we've held our own just recently - or was I dreaming it all Checked the map n you were probably too far for popping over for a evening's dance in sunny Newmarket. Just wish my memory wasn't so hazy so I could add a few more songs.

[Irie Jan]

Three little birds - Bob Marley

I hear it and it really lifts whatever mood I am in.

Good one kernowyon! Feb 5th would have been Bob's Birthday! RIP LION!

I have just got back from a fantastic holiday in Mexico. I am by nature a mover and groover and by golly did a shake my silly arse. Give me Latin American everytime time

[trish60]

Strangely it`s "I don`t feel like dancing " by the Scissors sisters.
