What songs make you run onto the dance floor?

[Bbq1]

I started this thread in response to the one currently running about songs that make you leave the dance floor. I loved so many of the songs! I would get up for most novelty dances especially Ymca and Whigfield! Love all the 80s classics like C'mon Eileen and in my experience of parties quite cheesey party songs/classic fun songs have always filled the dance floor..
Whoops Upside your head anyone?!

As soon as I saw 'Dance with me', I was off to YouTube where I found a live performance and some great messages about this lovely song and the band. Thanks for reminding me.

Oh. Just realised I jumped the gun. I immediately thought of 70s number by Orleans as didn't realise 112 was a band. Still, thanks remain for reminder for my Dance with me!

So bored of dancing to old classics. Yes it's nice when dancing Queen comes on but what about something from this century? Taylor swift? Black eyed peas, flo rida, wine house, etc

Come on Eileen
The Saw Doctors N17 and I Used Ta Love her
Coldplay Viva La Vida
Gloria Gaynor I Will Survive

and loads more I can't remember right now but the minute I hear the first beat or two......

Candy by Cameo.

Despite knowing the song for years I only found out like, a week ago, that it's about cocaine. My mind was truly blown. 😆

Scissor Sisters I don't feel like dancing ALWAYS has me running for the dancefloor and I've done the cha cha slide alone on more than one occasion 🤣

@JaffaCakesAreDisgusting yes to cameo candy! My pasty white self will give 110% to the dance too 😆 and I knew about the cocaine reference haha

@peloton2024 same! Any old school rnb/hip hop for me. I think we are in the minority on here so nice to see your suggestions!

To start the night:
Luthor Vandross - never too much
Some more upbeat Neyo / Usher stuff
Sean Paul and more 112 peaches and cream when it gets a bit more messy

@Sherwil16 that did make me lol seeing 112’s dance with me described as ‘lovely’ , gave me a little laugh, thank you 😁

Titanium

All of them! I will dance from when the music starts until it stops 😂. But especially anything from the early 2000s.

An awful lot of songs mentioned on this thread are the exact same as the ones on the other thread, that are guaranteed to get people running FROM the dancefloor

Loads of 70's and 80's stuff. Kentish Town Forum in the early 00's was the best night out ever for me.

More recently though.

"Place your hands"
"We are young"
"Shut up and dance"

Pretty much any Abba or Wham

I Want You Back - Jackson Five
Oh What a Night - Frankie Valli
Step On - Happy Mondays
Love Cats - The Cure
Just Can't Get Enough - Depeche Mode
Brimful of Asha - Cornershop

Lol..I could but not as good as a lot of people.

Anything from the 80s pretty much

Mr bright side
Sex on fire
Shake it off (and any Taylor swift)
Anything by Rihanna

Love all the Ibiza classics x

Maniac 2000. You would actually have to nail me to a chair to try and stop me!

All this with Chic and any music written by Nial Rogers …my absolute hero !

@Itsokish You could be my dance sister! 😂😂

Any Australian will know what I mean when I say Tina Turners Nutbush City Limits plays EVERYONE is on the dance floor, number 1 wedding reception song here I think!

Grease!
9 to 5, Dolly Parton
Any Noughties RnB - Fatman Scoop anyone?

The main one though has to be Proud Mary.

Timber by Kesha and Pitbull. Makes me scream “YASSSSS” and run to floor with gay abandon.

They'd why i started it! Another man's meat and all that.. Everyone was slating my fave dance floor favourites.

Absolutely 😂Went to see Nial Rogers at Stanmer Park in Brighton…the best gig I have ever been to.My early 20s children came and they thought he was bloody awesome ! Wham,George Michael and Rick Astley in my top 5💃

Old school dance stuff
Insomnia by faithless that kind of thing
Dancing queen by abba
80s stuff
Duran Duran
Love really hurts without you by Billy Ocean
