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.

Most of the songs by Rudimental. My dancing days are over long ago though now!!

I play in a ska band and the one thing guaranteed to get people up, if it’s a bit of a flat night, is Baggy Trousers (Madness). If the punters don’t dance to that, then it’s officially a dead night!

Oops upside your head. I was on the floor literally with my granddaughter at the last wedding I went to.

Ah the Quo are helpful for starting the party @AmadeustheAlpaca don't think I've been to one that ends it. Practically law in my family/friends/locals to end with Runrig, it's the adult version of giving out party bags 😂 Even the 18th/21st party do it.

You Spin Me Round (Like A Record) - Dead or Alive
It was always the last record played at the Hall disco I went to on a Thursday night as a student. As soon as I hear the first few bars I'm young again and having the time of my life in a sweaty, packed room that was far too small for the number of attendees!

Nofeckingway · 27/08/2026 00:34

Got to Give It Up - Marvin Gaye
We Are Family - Pointer Sisters
Super Freak - Rick James
Don't Stop Till You Get Enough - Michael Jackson
And any soul / funk song at all.

I've just played it on YouTube. Out of consideration for the neighbours I couldn't yell and stomp like we did at student discos.
