To ask what songs always make you get up and dance, no matter what?

[PrincessTeacake]

I'm trying to make a playlist for an event, sort of a counterpart to other events going on that have very serious formal dances. Ours is going to be loud, raucous and full of guilty pleasure music.

I don't see any reason we can't have some fun with this. Pick one or more and dance around the house!

Starting off, I have We Built This City by Starship, It's Not Unusual by Tom Jones, You Shook Me by AC/DC.....

There is no song that would get me up to dance. I have 2 left feet and hate dancing.

Oh great I love this! -

The Darkness - I believe in a thing called love - get the Air Guitars out!
The Killers - Mr. Brightside
Queen - Don't Stop me now
Katy Perry - Firework or Hot 'n' Cold
Billy Ocean - Love really Hurts without You
Daft Punk - Digital Love
the Police - So Lonely
The Cure - Boys Don't Cry
Ash - Angel Interceptor
Abba - Mamma Mia
The Pixies - Debaser/here Comes Your man
The Smiths - Ask
The Strokes - Last Night/whatever that other was called
Back Eyed peas - Tonight's the Night
Junior Senior - Jump or something

(ok really showing my age so will stop now). Have a great party!!

I think we're alone now - tiffany

Came to post this, no idea it was so popular!

Michael Jackson - Don't Stop Till You Get Enough
KC and the Sunshine Band - Get Down Tonight

I love disco.

Heaven 17 - Temptation (with obligatory bad singing along)
Tiffany - Think we're alone now
Martha Reeves and the Vandellas - Dancing in the street
Maroon 5 - Moves like Jagger
Womack & Womack - Teardrops
Michael Sambello - Maniac
Prodigy - out of space
Gotan Project - una musica brutal

Dancing queen was my veto for our wedding!

*disclaimer: this list makes me sound ten to twenty years older than I am

Layo and Bushwacka: Love Story vs. Finally
Shapeshifters: Lola's Theme
Snap: I've Got the Power or Do You See the Light or Exterminate or Rhythm is a Dancer
The Shamen: Move any Mountain
Prodigy: No Good, and anything else really
Altern8: Evapor8
Utah Saits: Something Good, Believe in Me
Madonna: Vogue
......

Status Quo Rocking All Over the World. It was the song that opened Live Aid in 1985 and got thousands dancing, so should get a few people on their feet.

I actually think it depends on the ages of people there to an extent. There are songs people have mentioned here that I've never heard of, so unlikely to make me want to dance.
