We have remembered the songs that move us and got ourselves all sad. So how about the songs make us leap out of the chair and boogie round the room?

Thriller by Michael Jackson
500 miles The Proclaimers
Mr Brightside The Killers

Dancing Queen for me too. In my early teens a friend of my parents decided to do New York New York down our staircase. Unfortunately it was New Years Eve and she had obviously been celebrating a little so came down the stairs on her rear end! I was horrified and embarrassed - didn’t think grown ups behaved like that. But I have loved the song ever since.
