I believe in a thing called love-The Darkness
Whitney Houston- I wanna dance with somebody
Spandeau Ballet- Gold
DJ Sammy- Boys of summer

Tons mentioned already, have especially vivid memories of Edinburgh student union Friday nights. Everyone went mad for the cheesy crowd pleasers like -

The Bad Touch - I still know the lyrics by heart Grin
Livin' La Vida Loca
Dirrty
I Touch Myself
Sit Down
I Think We're Alone Now
500 Miles
Build Me Up Buttercup
Reach (the S Club 7 one)

Ahh, good times! I remember loads of proper clubbing tunes too but the ones above have so many fun memories attached.

Place marking 🤗 lots of blasts from the pasts.

Kandi - when you’re out in the club don’t think I’m not !

Plump82 there was an upstairs to The Garage?! Dont remember that! Maybe I did go to it but was too drunk to remember...

This thread has prompted me to ask my bestie for a night out on the town. It won’t be a classic Newcastle night out like in uni with Baja beach club, Buffalo Joes or the Boat but we’ll make do with what we got!

Upstairs in the Garage was BRILLIANT!

This thread is brilliant!

Some of these songs mentioned have took me right back as if I was there in some sweaty grotty club having the time of my life! Not in my pjs with a hot water bottle contemplating if it’s too early to go to bedGrin

I’ve got a real eclectic taste in music and love most of the stuff mentioned. I remember shouting Shooting Star at the top of my lungs so many times.
There was another dance track that is so inappropriate now but something about “face down, arse up” I can’t remember the name.

I also remember dancing to Paradise By The Dashboard Light, I know this wasn’t 2000s but it always got a good reaction. I was quite sad to hear Meat Loaf had passed awaySad

More of an indie/rock kid here but remember a lot of these songs from union nights- anyone else remember juice and pop tarts? Monday nights at the lead mill or corp and Thursdays fuzz club at the union for indie/rock! 50p vodka mixer at corp, 60p at leadmill….!!

I'd forgotten about Build me up Buttercup as a night ender!
