Saturday - Out On The Dancefloor
So I have kinda strange taste for what makes me dance, and I'm not sure how much of this you'd even hear out at a club or anything, but in general? These are the tunes that get me grooving. Yes, I did just say grooving. I'm that cool.
-"The Time Warp" from Rocky Horror. I don't care which version, the movie's classic but I think the 2000 revival cast with Daphne Rubin-Vega and Raul Esparza is badass. Either way... you can bet that I will be doing the Time Warp, again, and again, and again, any time I hear it. I'll even hop on the nearest speaker in lieu of a jukebox and pretend to be Columbia. I am so awesome.
-Anything by CSS. They're this... I think they're Brazilian? Something like that... group that rocks my socks off. Their name stands for Cansei De Ser Sexy, which means "tired of being sexy." Love it. I think my favorite danceable tunes of theirs right now are "Alala," "Let's Make Love and Listen to Death From Above" and "Music Is My Hot, Hot Sex."
-Is it weird that everytime I hear "Under the Blacklight" or "Moneymaker" off Rilo Kiley's album Under the Blacklight I start dancing like I'm in a room full of strobe lights? I DO.
-I'm not a huge Maroon 5 fangirl, but their song "Secret" is beautiful for blues dancing to. Um. Yes.
-One of the best blues dances I ever had was to a cover of "Ne Me Quitte Pas." I have no idea who was singing, though. It wasn't the original by Jacques Brel, it was a woman singing, but... mmm. So good.
-Here's a song I like to rock out to in my room, because it'd never in a million years be played at a club, but I can't listen to it while sitting still. "Totally Fucked" from Spring Awakening. I bounce around like an idiot every time I listen to that song.
-Another blues song? "Mercy" by Duffy. YES.
-Anything from Hairspray makes me dance, too.
-And I love to rave to "Are You Gonna Be My Girl?" by Jet.
I'm sure there are others, but... that's just a nice little sampling.
