Recommend some really happy upbeat dancing songs

[Sparrowlegs248]

I've not had a great day, but Song 2 came on the radio, and suddenly I was back at a festival jumping up and down like a loon. Then another song that I've not heard before, but looked it up and it was Walk the Moon with work this body (I think) which also had Me dancing somewhat energetically.

I feel a million times better. I'm quite fat, and in a bit of a shitty time in life, struggling in lockdown with 2 small children on my own etc.

So please, give me your suggestions, it's good to dance, for mind and body. The dc thought it was hilarious. And joined in.

Anyone? I had high hopes!

Oooh second that Macklemore one, it's very good.

I also love that one that goes "Body rockers in the house tonight/every day I'm shuffling " one too for daft kitchen dance moves.

For some back to my yoof tunes though either JX. There's nothing I won't do or D:Ream You're the best thing.
