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

She has a good voice, I have to say. I'm usually such a snob about music. Only like miserable, serious stuff! blush

Someone bought me a CD a few years ago -'housework songs' and every track gets me dancing. Fabulous!

When it was in the charts I thought people were talking about an old Sammy Davis Junior song which I can't stand. I've loved the Christina Aguilera song since I first heard it! grin

I will second 'I Want To Break Free', by Queen.

The Hippy Hippy Shake. I think it was a one hit wonder for the Swinging Blue Jeans. Ha, you rarely hear it on the radio these days but even in the car my backside wiggles to it.

I wish. Arthritis has put a stop to that.

Same with Don't Stop 'til you Get Enough- Michael Jackson
We Like T Boogie- T Rex
TBH there are so many songs I have to dance to I rarely sit down at parties!
Love to dance.

Sounds odd but this one from Scissor Sisters "I don't feel like dancing"

I always remember being stuck in a mega standstill traffic jam in the blazing heat when it came in the radio and I felt like getting out of the car and dancing in the road (and I'm not a dancer!).
