Black Cat - Brian Auger and the Trinity.

Never fails to get me up and dancing round the room like a drug crazed prat.

I'll Keep You Happy by Ike and Tina Turner does pretty much the same thing.

corny as fuck, but like earl and his bro, my all time dancefloor fave is It Takes Two by Rob Base and DJ E-Z Rock, and even now, i can never resist The 900 Number by the 45 King

but if i ever heard pigbag out there, i am sure i too would be frugging away.

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Tuesday, 10 October 2006 12:02 (nineteen years ago)

i'm listening to 'why can't i be you?' right now, and i figure it should have me bopping around like i can't stop, but these vocals are hideously annoying.

Beyonce "Countdown"

― sonic thedgehod (albvivertine), Sunday, 5 April 2015 11:08 (ten years ago)

"I Want You Back" at the Irish bar last night... being wedged between Steve Earle and Freebird certainly helped. Don't think the 50-something fellas were too impressed but the gals behind the bar are what matters.

christ, sorry for the thread title, guys.

otherwise, i guess my selections from almost a decade ago still stand. though it should be noted, i don't dance to music as much as i once did.

― charlie h, Monday, 6 April 2015 06:58 (ten years ago)

as mentioned in the Mountain Goats thread recently, "Choked Out" off the new album turns me into a human wrecking-/pinball

but the most recent occurrence of this phenomenon, which was like 15 minutes ago, was when I unearthed my copy of Microcastle (finally, after years of looking!), put on "Nothing Ever Happened", & proceeded to swagger around the room, hips-first, like some sort of one-legged Elvis on crutches
