30-Day Song Challenge, day 9: a song I can dance to
Are you kidding me? I got so much rhythm coursing up and down my sexy body I can dance to the sound of a light breeze rustling through tall grass. So let’s let all y’all play. Here’s one of the greatest dance songs in history. If you can’t move to “Party Train” somebody better call 911, because you might be dead.
Kick it, Mr. DJ.
lullaby pit 
OMG–FOOTLOOSE!

The Twist. Though now in my 40s I can’t do it as aggressively as I once did.
I’m heading off to a conference today so I may be late posting on the next few days. Yes, I’ve skipped a few already I know. I’m trying to keep up!
And a bonus track: La Bamba
(for the Mexico bunch from Kent State who let me hang around)
You can dance to it, but can you stop yourself from having the white-man’s overbite in the process?
No. That’s why it’s the BEST…DANCE…TRACK…EVER!!
If you can’t dance to The Contours, you have no soul…none at all:

No doubt, Jim. I have no idea how many times I played this track when I was DJing in clubs. But a lot. And it packed the floor.
“YMCA” by the Village People.
Now you’re just trying to piss me off.
Nope, that’s what the white man’s overbite comment was for. “YMCA” is undeniably dancable. You may hate it, but my experience in pubs around PSU was that no song emptied the tables and filled the dance floor more regularly or completely than this.
Gotta agree with Brian. Here are 5 that will pack the dance floor (if you hate or love them):
Twist & Shout
YMCA
Shout
The Twist
Mony Mony
Maybe a category: songs that teens think they’ve discovered (no matter how old they are)
You want to pack the dance floor? Let’s see:
– “What I Like About You”
– “You Spin Me Round”
– “Shout”
– “You Shook Me All Night Long” (which I would then mix directly into “Girls Girls Girls”
No question those are all good dance tunes.
Venice Beach has got to be one of the most ridiculous places on Earth. This video is like something out of a Spider Robinson novel.
dance to breeze through tall grass? now that using the language, sammy. well done
The English language is my bitch.
I think I’ll put that on my resume.
