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

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 ......

Omg this is making me miss a good old fashioned family party. 😢. Songs to get me up on the dance floor would be any Abba song especially Dancing Queen and disco songs, I love to love but can’t remember the singer. At the end of the night we would be all up on the floor for the last song Hi ho silver lining!!!! Good times.
