Best songs to dance to?

Planning a surprise birthday party for a friend and we're trying to create a list of floor fillers,songs that get you dancing even if you don't particularly like the singer/group/genre.
No heavy metal, rave, rap or trance as friend hates those genres but apart from that, anything goes, any era, any genre - just has to be great to dance to.
So if you had to pick one song to get you moving, what would it be?

The obvious would be ABBA Dancing Queen.
My favourite is McFadden and Whitehead: Ain't no stopping us now.

My cousins wedding and the songs that I can remember filling the floor were Don't leave me this way by The Communards and Uptown Funk by Bruno Mars.

Also Mr Brightside by The Killers and Bon Jovi's Living on a Prayer.

Thanks!
Already got Dancing Queen, Mr Brightside and Living on a Prayer. Would never have thought of Don't Leave Me This Way!

Depends on how you want to dance, but House of Pain 'Jump Around' fills a dance floor like no other
