I need your best getting people on the dance floor tracks!

[Titsywoo]

Just making a playlist for my 40th and although I have a pretty good selection already I need more songs for the end of the night. Lots of drunken people standing in a big circle dancing and singing together type songs .

Imagine dragons- on top of the world
Acdc -Highway to hell
Happy Mondays- step on
Primal scream -loaded
Feeder - Buck Rogers
Green Day- American idiot and Basket case
Killers - All these things that I have done

Abba's "Does your mother know" is a better dance track than Dancing Queen. But it's a bit "off" these days, like Police's "Don't stand so close to me" if you listen to the actual lyrics!

I used to sing in a function band and floor-fillers included:
Brown Eyed Girl - Van Morrison

Treat her right - Commitments version but not so fast
