We've had the thread about music that makes you cry - what makes you stop what you're doing and dance round the kitchen?

I'm currently rocking to Rockin' Pneumonia and the Boogie Woogie Blues smile

Anything by Queen does it for us!

It's a Kind of Magic, Radio Gaga, I Want to Break Free ...

Rock on Freddie!

Brown Eyed Girl gets me going every time!

libra10 me also- Queen get me going and having watched Adam Lambert last Christmas sing most of the Queen songs with Brian May and co. I was in seventh heaven. I recorded it and play it frequently.

I am also a great fan of the Rolling Stones and Dire Straits

Whiter shade of pale and American pie and to be poshish Griegs wedding dance

Oh, too many to mention. But the first chords of Dancing in the Dark or Walk of Life always get me spinning round the house. And so much by Abba, the Stones, T Rex, Queen, Elton. And Motown. And classics such as They Can't Take That Away From Me. Pretty much anything, now I come to think of it.... smile

joannapiano Tue 03-Nov-15 18:47:43

Yeah! Cotswoldgran- Uptown Funk!
Another one that gets me moving.

KatyK Tue 03-Nov-15 18:48:19

My days of dancing round the kitchen seem to have packed up and gone. I don't know why. sad I used to do so much of it.

jinglbellsfrocks Tue 03-Nov-15 19:02:47

Sorry to be miserable.

As you were. smile (a brave one)

Antjexix Tue 03-Nov-15 19:05:20

Cd of the moment in my car to sing Alone to,' The drifters'

Maggiemaybe Tue 03-Nov-15 20:02:54

Noooooo, KatyK, I love Rod but that's my least favourite of his songs grin Probably because people (including my DH) used to request it for me in my teens whenever there was a DJ about - believe me, the words did not flatter, though I must admit that that morning sun when it's in my face really does show my age now!

EastEndGranny Tue 03-Nov-15 22:40:04

I'm with you on this one. Definitely one for shedding a few calories!!!

starbird Tue 03-Nov-15 23:11:39

I do line dancing and most of what we dance to us sixties stuff, Dance the Night Away, Dancing on a Saturday Night, King of the Road, to name a few. More contemporary is Marvin Gaye, and we do a 64 beat dance to Miller Magic (a compilation). I know dozens of dances and have many of the songs on my iPad so can dance around the kitchen anytime!

Elrel Tue 03-Nov-15 23:18:31

Oblada di, Oblada da by The Marmalade, loads of 50s rock'n'roll!

WilmaKnickersfit Wed 04-Nov-15 00:06:29

So many brilliant songs already mentioned. Another one is

Hanson's Mmmbop

But if I had to choose just one it would be I Love To Boogie by T Rex - never heard it before I watched Billy Elliot! grin

Alima Wed 04-Nov-15 06:56:44

Yes Wilma K, the very best one to dance to and scrub the kitchen floor to, gets it done very quickly!

nonnanna Wed 04-Nov-15 07:25:00

Oh yes, all of these plus the Killers..Are we human? That's my modern day favourite. Bouncing around accompanied by very bad, loud singing.

kittylester Wed 04-Nov-15 07:29:30

Lots of Beach Boy tracks for me and most of Meatloaf recordings. Also Ring of Fire!
