What songs make you leave the dance floor?

[Tallerinanotherdimension]

Mr Brightside
Sweet Child O’ Mine
Rockstar

All great bands. Just those songs. Blurgh heard them too much.

Shiny Happy People

Build me up buttercup
Reminds me of an episode of come dine
When host had the original singer do it in her front room for the guests
That was painful to watch.

Tina makes me leave, esp proud Mary . And I don’t mind her as a person I just reckon her songs are shit

Love Shack (probably my most hated song ever)
Meatloafs stuff

Move on up. I can't stand it

😆me too

Shout. Can't stand it!

And anything by the Beatles.

Sweet Caroline, loathe it, and all the idiots that have to shout along to it anywhere it's played. bah bah baaaaahhhh. shut up. Seems to be played at school events a lot, on loud speakers.

Come on Eileen and Love Shack were rammed down our throats for years. And Walking on Sunshine, everyone looks a right wally dancing to that fast tempo.

My now 24 year old entertained us in his highchair singing this 😂He is now making his fortune in Vancouver…he could obviously talk the talk aged 2😊

Who asked?

I hear this song EVERY week because I live next to a pub and they do karaoke on a Saturday night.

The only one that I would leave the dance floor for, is Jerusalema (and any line dance really), but the only reason is that I have no rhythm and cannot follow the steps (thanks dyspraxia). I love to watch everyone else doing it though.

Proud Mary by Tina turner.
The sight of Middle Aged women bouncing their heads up and down really annoys me .

Dancing Queen
Love Shack
I Got You (feel good)
Mambo Number 5
Livin on a Prayer

Oh you poor poor thing 💐

Not much really🤣

Come On Eileen is close though.
It just conjures up an image of annoying drunk people singing really loudly, arms around each other kicking their legs in the air.
Maybe I’m having a flashback and I was one of them louts in my youth 🤭

So much hate for anyone middle aged on here 😐

The problem I have with ' come on Eileen ' are the lyrics as I feel he is pressurizing her to have it away with him because she's wearing a nice dress. (Or maybe I'm wrong it's just ' oh , Eileen please go out with me ' ?! )
It's a grubby song and that all looked like they needed a good wash in the video!
Sweet Caroline is annoying , but I don't mind the bah bah bits for a singalong. Been played to death though.
( It's also better than ' love on the rocks ' )
Anything like the Macarena I have to sit out as I can't do the actions in time.
It's an art form any song that has actions to it maybe YMCA isn't too bad though !

I'm finding that dispiriting too. It's as if middle-aged people should just fade into the background and stop embarrassing themselves and leave stuff like dancing to the young. Middle-aged people like to dance too, shock horror!

We are family
Oops upside your head
I will survive
River deep mountain high
Proud Mary
I wanna dance with somebody
Anything by Gary Glitter (at a wedding recently I caused huge drama by suggesting maybe we shouldn't be dancing to it...weird)

Can I add Sweet Caroline please. Yuck.

Happy - Pharrell Williams 🤢🤢

I'd forgotten about that one. My pedantry really comes to the fore, as rooms have ceilings not roofs. Unless you're a medieval peasant.

More of a Lionel Richie fan then @TeabySea ?

Not really- Blancmange maybe 😅

I’m middle aged but most of the music mentioned on this thread makes me cringe. So much great music and yet weddings always have that shit 1960s bit, the cheesy crap from the 80s (wham etc), the naff ‘anthems’ Mr Brightside baffles the shit out of me - it’s such a dirge.

I’m usually stomping off the dance floor bullying the DJ to put on a bit of Niki Minaj. Or frankly anything from the fucking 21st century!
