Been trying to have a daily mini dance party for the last few months. Turn on a song that I know makes me want to dance as a way to get me some endorphins. Seems even more important now, so I'm going to try to share my dancey song with y'all, too. Today:
Today's "get off yer arse and dance, Jessica" was inspired by Hall & Oates.
Monday morning needs an extra strength dancey dance tune, so:
Tuesday's dancey dance has some serious sex appeal:
Wednesday (Odin's Day) dance tune:
Thor's Day dancey dance:
Frigg's Day dancey dance isn't so much dancey as sway-y, but it's still a good song:
Saturn's Day:
And Sunday:
I skipped yesterday, 'tis true. Anyway, here's this morning's tune that got me movin':
Today's dance tune:
More a "bob my head and kinda bounce in my chair" than a dancey dance tune, but still good:
Dance Party USA Stay At Home:
Tuesday needs some SRS guitar in the dance mix:
Wednesday needed something a little different:
I dare you... no I TRIPLE DOG DARE YOU! to not dance while this is playing. YOU CAN'T DO IT, CAN YOU?
Dance, Children of the 80s! DANCE, I SAY!
Friday bonus, since this @pandoramusic station (based on this exact song, akshully) is KICKIN today:
When I was 17, my friends and I would all get in my car, turn this song up as loud as my hyundai's speakers would go, and drive through the grounds of the all boy's high school in town. We thought we were so hilarious and cool. #SimplerTimes
We move like cagey tigers
We couldn't get closer than this
We couldn't get closer than this
Today's dance tune is a bit fraught with connotations, but it's still a banger.
Dance, my werewolf lovelies, dance!
A hint at my dissolute youth: this was the kind of song I loved for going out dancing when I was in my early 20s.
How many artists came into my life mostly by happenstance? I don't know the number, but I know John Lee Hooker is on the list.
My dancing to this confused Viktor, but he'll get over it. (Also, he was asleep before I walked into the living room to dance.)
Yes, more ELO. Deal with it.
One of the most 80s things about me (and I am definitely a child of the 80s, so there's lots from which to pick) is that my first concert I saw by choice was this band. (Different tour, though.)
Still on my 80s kick:
Such strange one hit wonders came out of the 80s. I love them even more when they're strange.
You can never go wrong with the Manu Chao:
Change things up with a little swing!
Bonus dancey dance to acknowledge the date:
In the mood for some deep cuts today. Set up a Stray Cats station and was not disappointed!
Today's dance tune is courtesy of @geistweg:
Today's dance tune is all about me. In my late 40s, I'm finally able to admit how much I adore Britney.
For a cloudy Monday, I'm sharing a song that's more of a sing-along than a dancey dance, but my vocal range is a good match for this song (and any other Stevie Nicks song, tbh):
One of the ultimate "I Can't Be Still While It's Playing" songs just came on Pandora.
Okay, fine. I like Yacht Rock. Judge me if you will. I am not ashamed.
Joan Jett just came on, and I started chair dancing, so I'm sharing the song. BUT! I'm sharing an AIDS Awareness cartoon that uses the tune instead of the music video, because this is what comes to mind whenever I hear "Bad Reputation" (slightly nsfw):
I danced HARD to this one:
iirc, Mr. Costello did perform this one when @niwandajones and I saw him in concert in the before times. So amazingly worth the long drive to Ithaca.
Oh, ha! My last tweet in this thread was a mistake, but still lovely to think about Elvis Costello walking along as like a vulture. Anyway, onward to today's dance tune:
