What's your guaranteed get up and dance song?

Cheesy but guaranteed - Olly Murs, Dance with me tonight!

Love a bit of Olly!

Mine is useless to you, as it's slipknot duality, but i think something like that uptown funk song should get most people up?

Michael Jackson - PYT. Anytime, anywhere

Ha, I love that song although I fear it may scare some people off the dance floor (slipknot that is not Bruno Mars ?)

Queen - don't stop me now ?

Usually I say Jackson 5, Blame it on the Boogie, but we were at a wedding at the weekend and the dancefloor really filled up for Twist and Shout. But it was a live band, so I don't know if it would have the same effect with a DJ. Also agree with all those saying Uptown Funk!

I've got a few! La bamba every single time!! MJ the way you make me feel and jocelyn brown somebody else's guy x

Don't really have a specific song... after a drink I'll dance to anything!!!!

Prefer 90s cheese and motown mind x

Mine's pure 70's cheese ... The Nolans - Im in the mood for dancing lol !

Metallica - Enter Sandman ?
But most people I know love dancing to 80's stuff, Bon Jovi & Journey especially!

You've just reminded me of another of my get up and dance tunes, Living on a Prayer! My taste in music is way cheesier than I thought!

Anything Motown or Northern Soul will get me up and keep me going all night! Also anything cheesy such as Time Warp, I haven't stopped dancing yet, Tina Charles, another vote for the Nolans, and, of course, Abba!

Summer lovin' from Grease

all the cheesy dance tunes like Cha Cha slude

almost anything by Queen

Let me entertain you, rock dj by Robbie williams

anything by abba

Outkast - Hey Ja! always gets me up.

Also Maroon 5 - Moves Like Jagger.

Depending on the age of the crowd, here are more ideas (I did post earlier but its disappeared!):

YMCA- The village people

500 Miles- the proclaimers

Groove is in the heart- Dee lite

Slippy- Underworld

Night fever- Bee Gees

Take me out- Franz Ferdinand

Girls want to have fun- Cyndi Lauper

Wake me up before yo go go- WHam

Love Shack- B52's

Dancing Queen- ABBA

OMG! Set you free!!

I absolutely LOVE Underworld!!

i will need to think of our own! :-)

There are some tuuuuuuuunes here, awesome inspiration!

My dj also did my 21st birthday party so already has a pretty good idea of how to get my family up dancing. He knows that to get my brothers up its anything by Bon jovi (usually living on a prayer) or Bryan Adams summer of 69. As for me and my friends anything with a set dance routine such as macerana, Saturday night, cha cha slide, anything by steps etc and I will be right at the front of the dance floor leading everyone. Also I'm a begginer ballroom and latin dancer so may have to work a cheeky cha cha cha lesson into the night ?

@ miss winter:

duality for me too! and bodies by drowning pool...

An idea that I have seen online is to ask everyone to choose their 'jam' and write it on their RSVP - that way everyone gets to hear and dance to something that they like. I think I might do this or a variation of it because I'm too paranoid and would be worried everyone would hate the music!

Like others have said, Uptown Funk is my music of choice at the moment!

Some awesome songs here!!!!

The bride on last saturdays wedding wanted a little 90's dance section which included 'set you free' and 'no limit' by 2 Unlimited!!! (In fact all 90's songs go really well at the moment!)

As most weddings have such a range of guests/ages try to think of everyone in song choices....

^^ These, or disturbed, down with the sickness and for the teenager inside of me, anything by TBS, Brand New, Underoath!

For the cheesy side of me at the moment I'm really loving shut up and dance by walk the moon hehe!

Haha I think most of these are on our banned list

Uptown Funk, All About that Bass, Shake it Off, and Hey Ya for modern songs, and Heaven is a Place on Earth and Dancing Queen for old-school!

Yes Shake it Off!! Good one!!!

All the cheesy stuff gets me up on the dancefloor, at my wedding I requested Backstreet Boys and when I heard them, me and my sister sprinted to the dancefloor

Love my 80's anything by Wham or Madness, more up to date can't go wrong with a bit of Mr Olly Murs ?

Loving the cheese on here! Superstition or Mustang Sally for me!

Footloose - Kenny Logins

Oh and Mr Brightside - The Killers

We did the request a song for the DJ on the RSVP snd everyone loved it! Got a great mixture although I have to admit I did have to Google some of them!

My OH two faves are Livin on a Prayer and Summer of 69 - karaoke choices for sure when we are on hol!

I like 90s stuff too - Dreamer is my favourite!

Also:

Blackstreet - No Diggity
Wiley - Heatwave
Tinie Tempah - Pass Out
Maroon 5 - Sugar
Guns N Roses - Sweet Child of Mine - I think this is another one of his karaoke ones!
Foundations - Build me up buttercup
The Mavericks - Dance the night away
Mike and the Mechanics - The Living Years
Tom Jones - Help Yourself
Fratellis - Chelsea Dagger
The Killers - Mr Brightside
The B-52s - Lovedshack

Oops got a bit carried away!

I also think Uptown Funk but a bit fed up of that song!

xXx

There are so many tracks which get everyone up and jumping about! The key is playing a really good variety of tracks for everyone and having a really good DJ who can read the room and dance floor to arrange everything into a smooth flowing play list.

Getting requests with RSVPs is a good idea, making sure you remove any you hate before passing it over to your DJ! Try and word it so people request songs that they'd like to dance to, rather just a favourite song, which can be very different!

Hope this helps

James
