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

Gene Kelly's Singing in the rain, Pharrell Williams Happy and anything on the "Nashville" soundtrack smile

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.

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

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

(Almost) anything by the Stones - still the best little dance band in the world! (Though these days I bop around my walking stick, I'd have to hang on to the cabinets if I were dancing in the kitchen)
