All of the above, Brown Eyed Girl and Sex on Fire. I love Kings of Leon but I think that’s their worst song by miles.

Dancing in the moonlight
Hey ya

Toddlerteaplease · 08/04/2024 14:36

Anything by Robbie Williams!

I love YMCA though. Went to a party last year and they danced to Shine Jesus shine, and My lighthouse. I was🙄🤔😂

HullaBallu · 08/04/2024 14:39

Anything by Madness. Although to be fair, that's the point at which the middle-aged men storm the dance floor to do their special Madness Dance, so there's never any room anyway.

Toadonaroll · 08/04/2024 14:42

Dancing Queen
We are Family. Both too slow beat.

I love Dancing in the Moonlight. Always reminds me of the scene in Four Lions.

Any Michael Jackson song. I can’t dance to a man who used those songs and his fame to rape little boys.

SanDimasHighSchoolFootballRules · 08/04/2024 15:01

Anything by S Club 7
Anything by the Spice Girls
C'est la vie by Bewitched
The only way is up by Yazz
Thankfully rarely heard these days, but anything by Jive Bunny

LeaveTheClocksAlone · 08/04/2024 15:01

Mr Brightside is the most boring song ever, I don't know why everyone cheers when it comes on a party. I'm sure half of them are faking it to fit in.

Jitterbug 🤢

Love Shack - B52s
Feel Like a Woman - Shania Twain

Anything that comes with its own dance (Saturday Night, Macarena, YMCA etc etc)

Far too much like enforced jolliness for my liking.
