    And
    UB40 version of I can't help falling in Love with you.

  5. Anything Rockabilly.
    @Cheese I thought you were going to say Blame it on the Rain - Milli Vanilli!

  6. Any Galactic or MMW fast track will always give me goosebumps and make me want to drop everything and dance. But as far as oldies, Higher Ground by Stevie Wonder and most Depeche Mode or INXS dance tracks get me out of my seat.

    1. Love your oldies list. I miss INXS and wonder what would have happened with them if Michael hadn't died.

    2. I love Galactic - saw them at Jazzfest several times.

  7. Speaking of UB 40, I love their version of Red Red Wine. There are just so many, some already mentioned.

    Cameo - Word Up, Frankie Goes to Hollywood -Relax,

    And I hate to admit it -on the more recent side- Blurred Lines and Moves like Jagger by Maroon 5

    1. I hate myself for loving Blurred Lines, but it is just so catchy and danceable.

      Delete
    2. Add me to the list of self-loathing Blurred Lines lovahs. I also find "Give it to U" by Thicke and Kendrick Lamar equally as dance worthy.

    1. How could I have forgot the B52s. At weddings and parties whenever they come on, everyone 40-60 starts dancing.

    2. Everybody had matching towels!

  12. If the Bee Gees are on, I'm a dancin'!

    Also, The Scissor Sisters, any high energy 80's music and that one song from Junior Senior - Move Your Feet makes me groove.
    There are many many more but I won't bother you with a list. :-)

    1. @Sugar, I love the Bee Gees! Their heyday was a bit before my time, but my dad loved them and I have great memories of us listening to them together.

      Delete
    2. A bit before my time too but my older sisters used to listen to them all the time and one of my sisters had posters of them all over her room and they would follow me with their eyes. I heart disco.

      Delete
    3. This dates me I guess but I saw The Bee Gees in concert (on the Stayin Alive tour) AND I saw Andy Gibb on tour (before he died). Oh the screaming teenagers (for Andy)!

    1. Trilby, I love your list and your sense of humor. Other than the 5'4" reference, I think we could be twins.

  25. I listen to a lot of 80s music on my mp3 player at work, Smooth by Santana featuring Rob Thomas, Kokomo by the Beach Boys, and Out of Touch by Hall and Oates all get me moving a little more rhythmically.
