Your homework for the week...

[venta]

Felix is on a mission. Not, as you might expect, to take over the world, but to compile a list of the top 200 songs guaranteed to get people on a dance floor.

So, for the past couple of hours I've been suggesting songs, and he's been dissing them mightily and telling me nobody but me and my two friends have heard of them. (Oh, apparently only one friend).

I still haven't stopped arguing for Another Girl, Another Planet by the Only Ones. Or disagreeing that nobody in their right minds would get up to dance to Boys and Girls by Blur.

So. I want a list of the songs you think everybody would get up to dance to. This is everybody, even that girl over there who clearly has dreadful taste.

It worries me that this list will consist largely of 80s bilge and Abba, and therefore you're also welcome to tell me the songs that would make you get up and dance.

I agree, there are no songs that *everyone* would dance to. Personally I love Boys and Girls, and hate Come on Eileen. So lets see. Smells like teen spirit seems to work very well on the idiots in the nightclub next door who keep me awake, but then so does the Lion Sleeps Tonight. I'm Your Man always works at the LGB bop. At least it did when I was there, though they may now be so young that they have no idea who Wham were. Nostalgia, then, must be a big factor, and of course different age groups are nostalgic for different eras.
