ventaFelix 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.

Date: 2003-07-08 03:12 am (UTC)I'm astonished nobody has yet said:
Jump Around, House of Pain.
also, 5 years ago you could have had
Fool's Gold, Stone Roses, as a 100% guaranteed floor filler almost anywhere, but everyone has got very bored and jaded now and wouldn't be seen dead dancing to anything so utterly nineties.
I once saw a TV show in which Peter Stringfellow, who arguably must know quite a lot about dancefloors having lived on and around them for 173 years now, claimed that the most guaranteed floorfiller he knew was New York, New York, Frank Sinatra.
