I'm having a party, and I need help! We're having a dance floor...→[More:]so what are some hot tracks I can add to the mix?

Also, give me some generic dancing advice. I've recently come out of dancing retirement. My moves are shameful.

I heart you.

I'd suggest "You're Freaking Me Out Girl," by Wired All Wrong, single available on iTunes.

I fucking HEART Matt Mahaffey so this may be a biased recommendation

"Stayin' Alive" by the Bee Gees. Seriously.

I'm also saying you must have ABBA. Dancing Queen at a minimum. How about mooching around Amazon and looking at the party-themed compilations for tracks you like.

Michael Hutchence-era INXS

Mash-ups, mash-ups, mash-ups.

Party Ben - Pump Up the Doorbell
DJ Earworm - No One Takes Your Freedom
Team 9 - Crazy Times

Also, The Strokes can be some good fun. M'lady likes "Juicebox" but I prefer "Last Nite."

Don't forget to throw on some good singalong/thrash around rock, either classic or alternative. Think Tom Petty/R.E.M./Nirvana.

I cannot sit through "Jungle Boogie" or "Groove Is In The Heart." My groove thang demands to be shaken. Demands it.

As for generic dancing advice, all i can suggest is to drink. I wish I had the ability to enjoy dancing sober, but I don't. But get a few belts in me and I am a slave to the rhythm.

Shoot. That DJ Earworm track isn't the full version. The full version is great. Gotta remind him to fix-a that.
