Songs that make you bounce round the room

Right, as antidote to crying ones, which ones make you bounce round like an idiot and pretend you're in a band? Current one is 'Dreaming of You' by the Coral. I'll come back with some more later.

But what about everyone else? And please tell me I'm not the only one who pretends I'm on stage when I'm alone in the house!

Sunshine by Dario G and Rollin by Limp Bizkit.

And no Tinker, you're not the only one

Hot in Herre by Nelly makes me shake my booty! Echo Spacemonkey (!) with Rollin, and In the End by Linkin Park.

Roll With It by Oasis, and Oliver's Army by Elvis Costello.

I'm Free, The Soupdragons. Don't pretend to be in a band but dance and pretend to be young

"Feel Good Hit of the Summer" by Queens of the Stone Age. The lyrics consist (soley) of:
Nicotine
Valium
Vicodin
Marajuana
Extacy and Alcohol
Yeah!

oh yes glitterbabe, when i really need to let off steam, song2 (blur) does the trick! always worry about disturbing the neighbours afterwards!

Marina · 08/10/2002 22:45

ionesmum, I LOVED the Blow Monkeys - Diggin' Your Scene is great.
I like to pretend I am Karol Kenyon, the woman with mighty lungs on Heaven 17's Temptation. I am not, of course. Also:
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band: Sherry Darlin'
Edwyn Collins: A Girl like you
The Oyster Band: Hal-an-Tow
Fatboy Slim: Praise You
St Etienne: He's on the phone

bossykate · 08/10/2002 22:45

also "rock and roll star" (oasis) "praise you" (fatboy slim) and "angels" (robbie williams) - not so good for dancing, but excellent for give it your all at home karaoke!

another few - "you've got the world in your arms tonight" (idlewild), "we are all made of stars" (moby), "brimful of asha" (cornershop).

Marina · 08/10/2002 22:46

Oh how could I have forgotten Cameo: Word Up and Kate Bush: Don't push your foot on the heartbreak?

bossykate · 08/10/2002 22:51

how could i have forgotten "believe" - cher?!! DO YOU BELIE-E-E-VE etc! so, so tacky! but so, so cheering! has got me through many a bad project moment!

jodee · 08/10/2002 22:57

Ahhh, Marina, a girl after my own heart, I would have an identical list! (but I've never heard of the Oyster Band???)

and I love singing the one that starts: I-I-I-I-, can't get of my high horse (you know the one) - you are the one whoooooooo, etc.

Custardo, what are you on????

jodee · 08/10/2002 22:58

(whoops, grammar - "off" my high horse ...)

Oh, Sherry Darling!!! 'Your mother's yappin' in the back seat, tell her to push over and move them big feet' 'Well, let there be sunlight let there be rain, let the broken-hearted love again!'. Aaah, meant to be working!!!!!

Jodee, I love that song it's Jocelyn Brown - Somebody else's guy. It's so uplifting, reminds me of clubbing in the 80's dancing round my handbag

leander · 08/10/2002 23:17

It's raining men
twist and shout.
