"Fairytales.....they come troooo...it can happen to yooooooo...if you're young at heart..."

Hahahaha. Love dat tune, man!

Love, exciting and new
Come Aboard. We're expecting you.
Love, life's sweetest reward.
Let it flow, it floats back to you.

Love Boat soon will be making another run
The Love Boat promises something for everyone
Set a course for adventure,
Your mind on a new romance.

Love won't hurt anymore
It's an open smile on a friendly shore.
Yes LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE! It's LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE! (hey-ah!)

"If you see a faded sign by the side of the road that says fifteen miles to the... Loooooove Shack!"

That song always makes me shake my booty.

(goml, I had such a crush on Gopher)

Just try and stand still:

Well, you know you make me wanna
(Shout) Throw my hand up
(Shout) Kick my heels back
(Shout) Throw my head back
(Shout) Come on now (Shout)
Don't forget to say you will
(Shout, Shout) Don't forget to say
(Shout) Yeah yeah yeah yeah, come on
(Say you will) Say it right now, baby
(Say you will) Come on, come on
(Say you will) Say it right now, baby
(Say you will)

Fun song, TrishaLynn. Thanks!

A few of my favourites: Tom Waits-Hoist that Rag, Alejandro Escovedo-Castanets, and a band I just discovered, Rastrillos, with their ode to arseholes-Pendejo. Mexican Rasta funk. Saw them a couple of weeks ago and they rocked my socks off; I can't remember when last I danced so hard. Plus, they're really nice guys, and were very patient with my rusty Spanish.

And of course (because I had to put at least one shouty song in the mix), My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult-Sex on Wheelz.

Pips: Me too!

How could I forget one of the dancinest songs of all: Michael Franti & Spearhead-We Don't Stop

*shakes her booty like there's no tomorrow*

Gopher? Both of you?

Women are aliens.

And the Isley Brother's 'It's Your Thing,' is the best dance song ever.

Linky, jonmc? I dunno, though 'We Don't Stop' is pretty damned danceable.

Not here, but at home, elizard. It's a pretty well known song you could p2p it, no sweat.

(and the extremely close second place finisher: 'I Want You Back,' by The Jackson Five, who's lead singer was kidnapped and replaced by space alien thirty years ago, but they managed to get that masterpiece out).

(coz I kick it old school, yo.)

other contenders:

James Brown "Cold Sweat"
War "Me & Baby Brother"
Sly & The Family Stone "Dance To The Music"
Parliament "Make My Funk The P-Funk"
Ohio Players "Love Rollercoaster"

if you haven't heard these, you should.

Nice, jonmc. And because I happen to have it handy (and am clearly on a YSI bender), here's Cold Sweat.

Here's another favourite of mine- Tom Browne's "Funking for Jamaica"

Get down, get funky! Thanks, jan. A great addition.
