You know,the song that if you hear it at the club, you’re on the dance floor. If it plays on the radio, you’re dancing while driving. Name the songs that you HAVE to dance to…
My Personal List
Fatboy Slim’s remix of Steppenwolfs Magic Carpet Ride. Before that it was Mambo #5 by Lou Bega
*“String of Pearls” by Glenn Miller(or any swing music)
*Many pieces of Ragtime
*Many songs by Placebo(i.e. “Bruise Pristine”, “Special K”, “36 Degrees”, “Pure Morning”) Okay it’s not quite ‘dance’ material, but if I can move to it, it suits me. I don’t dance right, anyway.
*A lot of Duran Duran songs, new and old
*Same as above for many U2 songs. Listening to the “Best of” album could give me arthritis of the knees.
*Orgy makes me want to dance, too.
~Heck, why don’t you just come over to my house so that you can see my CDs. That way you can see what you(or I) can’t dance to.

Bodyrock - Moby
Dancing Queen - Abba (gulp)
Boom, Boom, Shake the Room - Will Smith
and for a little slow dancing:
Saturday Night - Suede

the Habenera from Bizet’s Carmen
OOPS! Fat Boy Slim did a version too! Sorry about that.
I’m just a big fat moron, it’s OK, I think I need more beer,
But I have to agree with Halbe on the Skinny Puppy and the Depeche Mode.
But I must add Sexy Muthafucka by Prince and anything by Curve.
Hmm…well, I’d say “Any Way You Want It” by Journey would be one of the top songs.
There’s a lot of other songs, but that’s one that I hear and it just gets me in a dancin’ mood.
Rock Lobster. Just try to sit still.
Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now) by C&C Music Factory.
I dare ya not to dance to that!
Jeg elsker dig, Thomas
Mr. Roboto by Styx and Material Girl by Madonna.
Renegade Master by Wildchild
Moondance by Van Morrison
I Kiss You by Mahir (this song’s so incredibly poor that it’s fantastic :))
California Love by 2Pac (I believe)
The Riddle by Gigi Dagastino
Beautiful People by Marilyn Manson
Hell, I’ll get off my ass for almost anything; doesn’t take much effort.
Those songs are just about the only ones I’ll chair-dance to at work, though… if the DJ’s shufflin’ around the room in a chair yowling along with the music, he likes the song something fierce.
Hot Hot Hot Buster Poindexter(?)
I will survive Gloria Gaynor
Time warp without a doubt
I wanna be sedated the Ramons
rock lobster B-52’s
I could go on but these are the first ones i thought of.
Pretty much the same as your list bandwise. My number one song for getting me on the dancefloor in milliseconds is Invincible Spirit´s Push, though. Suspirias Dancefloor Tragedy is pretty fun too.

Erm… well, it’s not really all that dancey, but the remix of Living Dead Girl - Rob Zombie always gets me up. Plus, hence the nick, I love that song.
