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 ......

Absolutely loads and almost anything has me dancing 💃 around the house.

Their is one that comes to mind from this thread which goes ‘...get on your feet...,’ by I think Gloria Estefan.

I love loads already mentioned
But here’s a few more

Love Shack - B52s
9-5 - Dolly Parton

@CallSignCharlie thank you for reminding me of Tubthumping, what a tune. And an anthem for life really

@BeautifulStar, we cant seem to help ourselves can we? I could keep going too. Like theres brilliant songs to dance to in different genres. For example of we were going to get into the more sway along together anthems for end of weddings etc we'd be on to the likes of Never Forget (Take That) or Sweet Caroline or Foever in Blue Jeans (Neil Diamond), Hey Jude, Don't Stop Believin' etc.

Smooth - Santana
Pencil full of lead -Paolo Nutini
I can't (or is it don't?) believe it -Pitbull
