What song will get you onto the dance floor?

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?

It's got to be Ska. Madness, Specials, The Selector

If I had to choose one it'd be Too Much Too Young (Or Baggy Trousers)

LifeInAHamsterWheel · 23/05/2019 13:19

@emwithme it would be Baggy Trousers for my DH as well!

It doesn't take much to get me on the floor to be fair, I usually dance all night You can't beat a good rug-cuttin' night Grin

Pick up the Pieces - Average White Band

Good idea for a thread -
Abba - Dancing Queen.
And Billy Joel - All Rock and Roll.
If only! those were my favourites when I could still dance.

A lot of Alphabeat songs too (very 80s inspired)
Or 2000 R&B.
Or I’d do ballet if Tchaikovsky If I was in the mood Smile
