Music that makes you dance round the kitchen

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

There's nothing to beat dancing around the kitchen and I do like to bash a few pots too (in rhythm of course) . I love anything by Queen, T-Rex (especially I love to Boogie) , and Jackson by Johnny Cash and June Carter. I sing both parts !

Nothing beats bopping except, perhaps, bongo on an upturned washing up bowl. Love all the songs mentioned above.... wish I could name a few current 'hits' tho!!!

Don't dance - never have, never will - but if I did, this might get me at it...

No the words aren't flattering I suppose Maggie smile

Quite a lot of these I've never heard of or wouldn't dance to! (shocking grammar!) At a pinch I would say 'Jumpin Flash' or Kylie's 'Can't get you out of my head'.

nonnanna yes, loud and out of tune singing is compulsory with lots of dancing songs!

When Simon Mayo plays Enjoy Yourself (It's later than you think) at the start of his Drivetime show on R5 Live, I bopp and sing along to that. His all request Friday is full of great bopping songs when I am in the kitchen.

Have just come back to this thread and wonder where Jack went out of my 'Jumpin Flash'!
I've also just thought of Michael Jackson's 'Billie Jean' which gets me back into an aerobics routine I did a few years ago and 'Dancing in the Street' by David Bowie and Mick Jagger which I loved but I haven't heard it in years.
