If you could only pick one? It's so hard! I love classic 70s disco, maybe Stayin' Alive. Or Disco Inferno. Or Lost in Music. I can't decide Shock

What would you choose?

Don't Leave Me This Way - Communards version.

FiremanKing · 22/05/2019 20:49

Culture Club.

Erasure.

Or maybe after a few glasses of champagne, Let’s start the dance by Hamilton Bohannon.

Londonbeat, I’ve been thinking about you.

Technotronic, Pump up the Jam.

The Hughes Corporatuon, Tock the boat.

Laura Brannigan, Gloria or Self Control.

Disco Inferno for sure!! Or YMCA. Or Boogie Wonderland.

Or Gimme Gimme Gimme A Man After Midnight by ABBA Grin

Or just about anything by Billy Idol.

This might out me, but I once managed to get a group of friends to do the Gay Gordon’s to Anarchy in the UK. It doesn’t work so well with Pretty Vacant.

IndigoSpritz · 22/05/2019 22:21

Nothing. I drink but I don't do drugs and dancing. However, I'm informed that 'Male Stripper' by Man2Man Meets Man Parrish has a certain allure across the sexuality spectrum.
