Here's mine
I was born in the 70's and loved a rave back in the day but I love an old dance floor classic. Please share yours.

Intergalactic by the Beastie Boys. Luckily the now young adult kids feel the same way too and don’t get too jealous of my robotic moves and lip syncing 😂

Mine have already been mentioned: Loveshack and Mr Brightside.

Very fond memories of a particular moment on the dance floor at university when Tainted Love came on though…

Sidge · 26/08/2026 21:54

You can’t dance to Dancing Queen though, ironically. Only sort of sway around.

I like Ride on Time, Black Box.
Moves Like Jagger, Maroon 5.
Insomnia, Faithless.

And my wild card - Macarena, Los Del Rio 😆

Back in my day it was Hi Ho Silver Lining or Part of the Union. The dj would kill the music so you could hear everyone on the dancefloor yelling 'out brothers out'.

I came here to say Hi Ho Silver Lining.

Haha I agree, but some of us have all pushed a pineapple and shook a tree at some point.
