What song makes you want to get up off your ass and dance ?

[Sunnysideoftheshite]

Starting this on the back of the thread about songs that take your breath away. How about songs that just make you want to dance? "New Shoes" by Paolo Nutini is one of my favourites ......

Ohhh so many

Valerie - mark ronson version
Crazy in Love - beyonce
Hey Ya - outkast

Just for starters

Jennifer Lopez On the Floor
The Chemical Brothers Hey Boy Hey Girl
Shakira Wherever Whenever
Most of The Prodigys big hits Firestarter, Voodoo People, Charly, No Good (Start the Dance)
Faithless Insomnia
Madonna Hung Up
Rihanna Dont Stop the Music or Love in a Hopeless Place
New Order Blue Monday
Outside of the more dancey genre, you can't beat an old Black Betty or Thunderstruck or Sex on Fire or Mr Brightside or Livin on a Prayer..

But I would happily dance to ANYTHING anywhere right now....Peruvian pan pipe in a cave you say? I'm there....

Don't Leave Me This Way - Communards
Real Gone Kid - Deacon Blue

Armand van Helden You Don't Know Me

Don't Leave Me This Way - Communards Real Gone Kid - Deacon Blue

Yes! The spinning around to the long 'ahhhhhhh' before 'Baby, my heart is full....etc" is mandatory of course

All great choices! I think Cheap Thrills is a masterpiece, love the sentiment too. "I don't need dollar bills to have fun tonight..." it just really captures the sense of anticipation of just going out and cutting loose and having fun and above all, dancing....

God I can't wait to hear that somewhere, it'll quite a moment.
