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

It’s just suppose to be a lighthearted thread ffs.

summer of 69 hate it cos it always gets the middle-aged men going back to their youth plus get fed up of everyone yelling the line about having 69

You know that for an absolute fact do you?

Tina Turner - Proud Mary. If anyone does that stupid rolling part i cringe and die inside. I have no real reason why i just cannot stand it

sockarefootwear · 08/04/2024 16:08

I love a cheesy disco, including many of the songs mentioned already but even I can't stay if they play Sit Down (James) or anything by Tina Turner. It's not the actual songs themselves (not a big James fan but I think Tina is a formidable woman). It's the fact that too many people still think it's cool to sit on the floor to the James on and men of a certain age do a cringeworthy Tina Turner impression.

SwedishEdith · 08/04/2024 16:13

Every song mentioned so far. This is why wedding discos are so hated.

Don’t stop believing

Lorelaigilmore88 · 08/04/2024 16:40

dancing in the moonlight. 🤮

ChiefEverythingOfficer · 08/04/2024 16:41

Anything by Meatloaf or Cher.

TheDandyLion · 08/04/2024 16:43

Abba.

Which is great because it attracts the idiots to the dancefloor and I can get to the bar in peace.

You won't like ' dead ringer for love ' then !

I can't believe nobody has said One step Beyond yet! Why oh why do middle aged men tie their ties around their heads at weddings (and corporate conferences) when that song comes on.
