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.

Song 2 by Blur
Flagpole Sitta by Harvey Danger
It's The End Of The World As We Know It by REM
probably something by Fatboy Slim
possibly also Mum's Gone To Iceland by Bennet

i suspect that Placebo, NMA & NIN may be a little too specific to the kind of clubs i frequent

...but you don't think Bennet and Harvey Danger are obscure ?

I don't know who the second is, but that may be just my ignorance.

It always surprises me that things I think are obscure are always really well-known, and vice versa...

More cash, dada, give her more cash, dada...

well, yes, they probably are. but then how many of any of the songs mentioned so far has your average trendy teenage popkid heard of ?
does it really matter how obscure or well-known something is if it serves the purpose of getting anyone who will dance at all onto the dancefloor ?
i for one find the bouncy basslines to both irresistably danceable, and most of the people i've been in a club with when either of them's been played seemed to agree. isn't that the main point of the whole exercise ? <quizzical raised eyeborw>

I don't know who the second is
nor would i if not for Panic!. really must try to make it along next term...
