You’re at the club/a party/wedding reception on any given night in the 1990s. What gets you and your friends out on the dance floor? Only stipulation: the song has to be from the 90s. Second only stipulation: Let’s \*not \*copy and paste any “Top Dance Songs of the 1990s” list from Buzzfeed or VH1 or Billboard or whatever; let’s make this about _you_.

No brainer: [“What Is Love?”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEXWRTEbj1I) - ironic or not (anyone who watched SNL in the late '90s [knows what I mean](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recurring_Saturday_Night_Live_characters_and_sketches_introduced_1995%E2%80%931996#The_Roxbury_Guys)), it works.

Finish it off by blasting into the next decade with:
[Micronaut - Ioncannon](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNWtKOv7RlQ) (I admit: I cheated with this one. BUT it’s a great artist, song & album that almost nobody has ever heard of, and I think the video I made is kinda cool, so I’m sharing it anyway.)

[Scarred](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vv2WNMAajDk) by Luke ft. Trick Daddy
[Hoochie Mama](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnMge9j5SYA) by 2 Live Crew.
Then there was this local (to Detroit) guy, DJ Assault, known as one of the top ghettotech artists of the day. He had couple songs get popular in the mainstream college-kid clubs out in the burbs and across the bridge in Windsor. His song [Ass N Titties](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NsP5s0Smec) never failed to fill a floor back in the day.

1993, Malibu night club, Lido Beach NY
You walk into the Guido Room: [Corona - Rhythm of the Night](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3GmC1HDx08)
You walk into the Punk Room: [LA Style - James Brown Is Dead](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dN8e9b2ON8s)
OK, it may have been late 1993, early 1994, but still…

Heh. My eye just caught one small piece of text from this post which was “across the bridge in Windsor”. In my neck of the woods that would be Eton College.
What, what. Banging tunes old chap, may one make a request to pump up the volume. Spiffing.
Carry on.

So was “Bums N Jubblies” the song that got all the college kids on the dance floor?

Well I was going to mention [Word Up](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZjAantupsA) by Cameo (“put your hands in the air like you don’t care”) but I see now that it came out in 86 ☹[Back to Life](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TB54dZkzZOY) by Soul to Soul came out in 1989 but I think it didn’t reach the US til 1990 so at \*my \*90s dance party it counts.
