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?

Good old summer of 69. Or the one that goes ‘I’m blue dabba Dee dabba di; he lives in a blue house with a blue window’ and you all sit in a line?

I can't believe all the mentions of Come on Eileen. Shock The worst record ever, closely followed by Love Shack.I would be dashing off the dance floor for those.

Mine would be

Livin' on a Prayer
Most stuff by Stock Aitken and Waterman Blush

EleanorReally · 23/05/2019 07:41

i would really love to be proper dancing to Night fever, with the jacket over my shoulder, but save that for alone in my kitchen

EleanorReally · 23/05/2019 07:42

MorrisZapp · 23/05/2019 07:49

I would leave any room that contained Love Shack, including my own wedding.

How's about a bit of Mr Brightside?

LifeInAHamsterWheel · 23/05/2019 09:17

So many good suggestions - and I note that only a very few of you could stop at just one Grin

We've received a wedding invitation and on the RSVP card were to write what song would get us into the dance floor. It's a tiny card, definitely only room for one! am considering writing on the back of the card
DH song would be anything by AC/DC or Madness (with tie moved from his neck to around his head of course!!)

I need to give it more thought...

Red light spells danger. Tune.

notacooldad · 23/05/2019 09:49

Paradise by the dashboard light us a good song but not sure how you could dance to it!😃

HazelBite · 23/05/2019 11:09

Justin Timberlake.....Can't stop the feeling
Earth Wind and Fire.....September
Scissor Sisters......I don't feel like dancing
Bruno Mars......Uptown Funk

For Slow ones
As you are...Rag n Bone Man
Different Corner....George Michael

I have to take exception with those who have mentioned Come on Eileen, whenever I have been at a function and it is played, those reasonably sober leave the dancefloor, to be replaced by the seriously inebriated, as everyone knows you can't dance to it!

RiftGibbon · 23/05/2019 11:23

Morris, funnily enough, Mr Brightside would guarantee I'd leave the room, and probably the building! But each to their own Grin

Bravelurker · 23/05/2019 11:25

Anything and everything I'm afraid, usually the first one up there Blush.

Tonightstheteriyakichicken · 23/05/2019 11:28

Jump around - House of Pain
