Post some good dance music! (any era)

[idgiehkt]

Time to loosen up after the SOTU b.s.

If anyone has any good techno, trance, hip-house, whatever, PLEASE post it.

C'mon Ride a Train - Quad City DJ's
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJ6OP5UBbGY

Come on, ride the train, hey, ride it, woo woo
Come on, ride the train, hey, ride it, woo woo

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
I think I can, I think I can
I think I can, I think I can

Way deep down south, well we play this game
It's them Quad City D.J.'s and you,
We call it "the train"
So if you wanna ride your thing
Just come on down the train
We gonna rock, ooh, Lord, just jump aboard, baby
So get your next of kin, your sister and your friend
Pack it up now, choo choo, ride on this, choo choo
And, boo, you need to stop faking, and come on with me
I wanna take you home with me, to be alone with me
And I can see you wanna hide it, come on, just divide it
And please don't knock it, until you ride it
So to all of you girls, you know, I'm calling your name
Michelle, Tamika and Tanya
Wanna ride this train, ride out now


If you feel like dancing, well come on, it's up to you
We got the sound to keep you getting down, down
The train is coming through


I can smell them tranquil breezes from a mile away
Graduated from Boone up to Alize
Baby, you looking tough to death
Got your weave done right, it's on so tight
Now it's on tonight, yeah, yeah
Right about now it's about that time for me to holler
Girl, I wanna waller in the back of my Impala
Woo, don't need no tickets for this thing
Just jump on in, let me hit them switches on the train
And it ain't no thing, it's all the same
Get on the train tracks
Here we go, so get on the floor
And put a hump in your back
So pack your bags, come on, get ready, say what?
We're coming through your town
Move your arm up and down
And make that choo choo sound, like this

Ride that choo choo, woo woo...

Come on it's the choo choo, woo woo
Come on it's the choo choo train

1. Sandstorm - Darude

this is amazing!

[idgiehkt]

74. hysterical youtube comments

I just had to post this trance vs tecno debate. I enjoy the comments at youtube almost as much as the video. Technically you should start at the bottom and read up but either way it's hilarious.

Dionysian1 (1 day ago)
"Yeah, i agree with xafil, cant you fuckers just sit down and enjoy some music without arguing over the stupidest fucking detail. Do you go to youtube to watch videos or argue???"

subzerofrezzy (2 days ago)
"Screw you i still say techno."

atrodagen (2 days ago)
"yes..."

skizzo3 (3 days ago)
"Its fucking trance! darude is a trance artist! end of!"

skizzo3 (3 days ago)
"Most trance songs have no lyrics, its trance people, ask any dance specialist!"

xafil (3 days ago)
"It's music..enjoy it and be quiet."

shwilly (3 days ago)
"This guy must have been like "damn, I got this funny sounding bleep-thingy: I think I'll make a song which features it, and maybe a lame video so people who don't like techno -or trance, whatever- might actually like it". And then he put in some lesbians. Can't believe I actually like this shit..."

:rofl:

[bigwillq]

136. That's a great song!

:bounce:

[idgiehkt]

146. isn't it? Check THIS out:

here is a Xena video someone made on youtube to it. The video quality is poor but this is without a doubt the best fanvid I have EVER seen on here, it's brilliant. I've only tried to make a video once, and getting them sychronized with the music and editing the clips is really, really hard,and for the amount of clips in this video it's amazing to me someone would have this kind of patience and perfectionism. This video is much, much better than the official song video:

Xena, to Sandstorm by Darude
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBG5bUnmcE4

this person also did a kick-ass one to Fighter, by Christina Aguilera:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yH3YKJ2yjA

[slj0101]

2. A good Jazz number would do- I'm listening to Jimmy Smith right now.

:thumbsup:

[idgiehkt]

4. I am jazz illiterate. My brother tried to explain it to me but I was clueless

If you know the name of it can you look it up on youtube and post the song?

Here is something by Moby I like:
Hymn
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aC4e6mzHkPY

Also NIN - Head like a Hole

45. nice

I am so wanting to be in the gay bar right now, lol. I don't know when the last time I went dancing was.

I lurve that Club Bizarre song! :bounce: :bounce:

And Canda as well, the club reminds me of a Alias episode

I think I like X2X the best, I really love a hard-driving beat like that, there is nothing better to dance to. :hi:

[Oeditpus Rex]

39. Here's two

The best dance song there ever was or ever will be — Louis Prima's "Sing, Sing, Sing (With a Swing)," performed by the Benny Goodman Orchestra: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IlT2yeOJ0g

And the second-best — "Walking on Sunshine," Katrina and the Waves: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynEnww3BahI

[u4ic]

40. Bingo!

on Sing Sing Sing. :thumbsup:

[Oeditpus Rex]

43. It bores into me on different levels

One, just for sheer instrumental arrangement genius. Two, for being incredibly danceable. Three, it transports me back to my previous life on a B-17 crew in WWII.

[idgiehkt]

42. awesome...

I was hoping someone would put some swing on here. I love that smilie, lol.

I loved that song "Walking on Sunshine" when it came out, you can't listen to that and not feel good. :hi:

[Oeditpus Rex]

44. I can't listen to it

and not want to go out dancing with Katrina Leskanich. :woohoo:

[idgiehkt]

46. "Jump, Jump" and "Poison"

Kris Kross - Jump, Jump
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3dPoE9LYkI

Bel Biv Devoe - Poison
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epszIr00o1g

Now That We Found Love - Heavy D and the Boys
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-HQ70kn3Mw

[Strawman]

48. It's time for the Perculator

[stuntcat]

57. omg

[idgiehkt]

58. this is what I found

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsRkxOtPdwY

[momophile]

49. One Step Beyond or anything by Madness

50. Endicott

[idgiehkt]

60. this is cute

Endicott
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlR9ww3ZQ7o

I don't remember it, but I'm sure I heard it back in the day

[blogslut]

73. Ahhh

Thanks. Just watched it a few times. Love that song.

Here's another of my favorites:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9tdQsAsDl4

[idgiehkt]

75. man that sound and beat always takes

me right back to my teenage years for some reason. I loved that the female singers had a dignity in their singing that the pop stars today don't, must be the British influence or something...

That one brought this one to mind for some reason:

Buffalo Stance - Neneh Cherry
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4JikM4Q1iQ

[blogslut]

77. Nenah Cherry is the Goddess

She is just...so fine.

[idgiehkt]

80. yep

here is another one from back in the day:

MC Lyte - Ruffneck
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umdrHbpNcdc&mode=related&search=

It seemed like there were going to be a lot of female rappers when it first started and then I don't know what happened.

[blogslut]

79. That Nenah made me recall this one

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-FNg0c1-74

:)

[idgiehkt]

82. I will never forget that video as long as I live

has to be one of the strangest of all time. And I am always so nervous for that dachsund. Wonder what the woman who was the child in this video thinks about it today, lol. Even now it's incredibly watchable.

[Burma Jones]

51. Bach, Brandenberg Concerto #2, First Movement

no words......

[idgiehkt]

62. just subtitles

you can find the strangest things on youtube. I don't know what part this is, the other choice was a spider in the bathtub
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RhuiJJuCl8

[Art_from_Ark]

185. BBC#2 was a defining "song" for me in high school

Bach rocked!

Unfortunately, no one else at my school thought so :shrug:

[idgiehkt]

195. lol

I really don't understand why more of it is not on youtube. Maybe someday.

[ghostsofgiants]

52. How strictly are we defining "dance music" here?

Because this makes me want to dance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CH04lHpmZTs

[stuntcat]

61. right on

it's bumpin!

*bump* *bump*

[idgiehkt]

63. me too

I like it, a garage band in the living room. That guy has a really cool guitar, too.

[Scarlett17]

53. Midnight Star

"Freak-A-Zoid" & "No Parkin' On The Dancefloor"

[idgiehkt]

65. yikes

this reminds me of being at cheerleading camp practicing our dance routine to Freak-a-zoid, lol
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mDBCLW1KqA

we had no idea about the sexual connotation, lol.

No Parking
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_Uj1u86lrE

for some reason that song brings this one to mind

Cameo - Word Up
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKmtsN_gzMM

[Zookeeper]

83. How fun!

I had forgotten about all of those songs.

80's fashion certainly was distinctive, wasn't it? ;-)

[Scarlett17]

90. Absolutely. Watch the Cameo video. . .

what is up with the codpiece? And is that LaVar Burton as the cop? Too funny.

:rofl:

[idgiehkt]

92. I'll never understand that cod-piece, lol

At the time it seemed cool but now I bet the guy dies of embarassment when he sees that.

And it's Burton in there as far as I can tell.

[Strawman]

129. Don't Forget "Shake Your Pants" by Cameo

I love Cameo

http://youtube.com/watch?v=7BPSbogLEFU

[idgiehkt]

172. this is the shit

on so many levels, lol

I didn't see this til just now...thanks!

:hi:

[Scarlett17]

87. Cool--I never saw those videos

Thanks! Midnight Star always takes me back to summer camp.

Your Cameo made me think of this. . .

Remember Ready For The World?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_uagaied_c

[idgiehkt]

91. Oh, oh Sheila

YES!

I love this song....I'll have this in my head for the rest of the day. That's what I'M talking about, great, great dance song. The youtube comments under this are hysterical, too.

Speaking of Sheila...

Sheila E. - The Glamorous Life
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubbiXO3fOtM

Sheila E. is one of the hottest women that ever lived, I think. *thud*

[hippywife]

102. These, of course, can only lead to

The Gap Band!!

You Dropped a Bomb on Me
http://youtube.com/watch?v=zLgyXZw9qNM

Party Train
http://youtube.com/watch?v=zTo7BXlqcHs

[idgiehkt]

103. woohoo!

I haven't heard that song "Party Train" in ages...these guys are so cool. I think "You dropped a bomb on me" is one of the coolest songs from that era.

:bounce:

[hippywife]

104. One of my favorites

from my days out dancing in the clubs. That seems like eons ago! I think it was! LOL

[idgiehkt]

105. for some reason these made me think of "The Message"

one of the first rap songs...we used to go around chanting the chorus at my rural school but off course we had no clue what it was about

Grand Master Flash - The Message
http://youtube.com/watch?v=_ilcw4Z7I_s

Don't push me 'cause I'm close to edge
I'm tryin' not to lose my head...

[hippywife]

[idgiehkt]

113. I love that song by the Fine Young Cannibals

that is one of my favorite 80's songs ever. Plus I have a fascination with his tongue in that video.

[RegimeChange2008]

175. Well, as long as we're talking Grandmaster Flash......

Gimme a funky ass bass line and hold the coke!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kb33uWeRplo

[idgiehkt]

200. wow, totally different

I love the dance in this video. thanks!

:bounce:

[AlCzervik]

54. You're the one for me by D Train video link

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGL6KCEZRNI

love this song, reminds me of going roller skating back in high school.

[idgiehkt]

68. yep

I wish I had the playlist of all those songs we used to play while we were skating, that was a lot of fun. We used to watch American Bandstand and Soul Train every Saturday morning. I used to be fascinated with those girls with the super long hair.

[RedStateShame]

55. Tighten Up, Archie Bell and the Drells

Video quality's iffy, but it's still one of the greatest soul singles, IMO.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0n7C1AyU-9Q

[Sock Puppet]

66. Archie Bell

...and the Drells. ;)

[RedStateShame]

67. Whoops, I better tighten up that spelling.

Now, make it mellow.

[idgiehkt]

72. that part was really cool

and where the drummer sounds like he's in a marching band. Flawless, I loved it.

[idgiehkt]

70. wow, this is amazing

I've never heard this. Until I moved to SC I'd never even heard the expression "tighten up" the way it was used down there and now I know how long it's been around, lol.

This music is lovely, it makes you want to move every part of your body.

[datasuspect]

179. stax?

memphis?

they knew how to get down and catch a groove back then.

if i'm not mistaken, that's booker t and the mg's in the background, i think they were like the stax house band

[Zookeeper]

69. I'm always up for dancing, idgiehkt...

Will you dance with me?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuyS9M8T03A

:bounce:

[idgiehkt]

71. oh wow

I remember this, I haven't heard this in eons.

Sure, let's get down!

[Phillycat]

78. "Canned Heat" by Jamiroquai, and "Do Your Thing" by Basement Jaxx

[idgiehkt]

84. nice

canned heat
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_xa3m3XPxI

this one is awesome, almost sounds like ragtime

[stuntcat]

96. yes to Canned Heat

I'm gonan try Basement Jaxx

[Phillycat]

101. Oh, it's good stuff. :)

[TheBaldyMan]

81. Grace Jones - Pull Up To The Bumper

live video 4:36

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9i_bxMrwS4

[idgiehkt]

85. man, she was a force of nature

they broke the mold when they made her.

When I was a senior in high school they played "Slave to the Rhythm" constantly on the local college radio station, I'd never heard anything like it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiM7ah88Pu0

[Zookeeper]

86. How about a little Psychobilly?

The Cramps live:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCQ4QLFl01g

Everyone: Please check with your doctor before dancing to this song.

[idgiehkt]

88. fascinating performance

Like Jim Morrison returned in a more open era.

I keep wondering what is holding his britches up...great band, nice to see some female musicians.

[Zookeeper]

97. Here's my homeboy who started it all....

Iggy with the Stooges. I was hearing The Stooges as early as 1968 in Detroit as a kid and immediately loved it. No wonder I was totally ready for punk ten years later.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuT5kMoYc1w

[Dukkha]

89. Revolting Cocks, Delerium, Apoptygma Berzerk

Revolting Cocks - Da Ya Think I'm Sexy
performed by The Sims! HAHA!
http://youtube.com/watch?v=VvBEAAEBPd4

Delerium - Aria
http://youtube.com/watch?v=XTJc3Kw_mlM

Apoptygma Berzerk-Starsign
http://youtube.com/watch?v=4Q2FZNvuQHk

[idgiehkt]

93. that first video is wild

I've heard the band but I've never heard any of their music. I have to say, I definitely prefer this to the original, lol

The Medieval Babes are beautiful. This reminds me of that monk song that was popular a while back but I can't remember much about it. This is really unique, thanks for posting it.

That Apop video is hot, that definitely got me going. I tried to find a video that was from the studio version but I couldn't find one.

[jonnyblitz]

118. Revoltings Cocks has members from Ministry in it, Al in particular.

I saw them live with Ministry in Worcester, MA last summer. they rocked. they did a song in the 80's called "Beers, Steers, and Queers".

[siouxsiecreamcheese]

188. Beers, Steers, and Queers

I loved that song.... Al is a god. In a way...

:7

[Zookeeper]

95. That's a better version of "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy"

than Rod Stewart's. And it's the first time I've understood the lyrics, too.

I wonder if the video was made with the SIMS software?

[siouxsiecreamcheese]

189. Heres another Sims dance..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=po4S_HCf4mU

Cruxshadows-Monsters

[idgiehkt]

201. that is so awesome

I wonderabout that robotic effect of their movement, like in the "Faint" video by Linkin Park it seems like there is an ever so slight influence from video games in their movements unless it is just my imagination...Great song!

"Faint" video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OS0T1keM7Ss

I wish people would post more music to thrash around to like this, I love it.

[Zookeeper]

94. "Cool"

I'd forgotten how pretty Morris Day was...:blush:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxHs8xsT4dU

[Scarlett17]

98. Hilarious!

I almost put up Morris Day (Ice Cream Castles was a fantastic album and yes Morris was hot) when I posted Ready for the World earlier. Too funny.

:rofl:

While strolling down memory lane, I remembered this classic. Do you remember the Rappin' Duke?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgIw7Uuupw8

[idgiehkt]

99. I vaguely remember this

these youtube people are killing me today...this guy is mocking the other posters (I hope, anyway):

zxqzxqqsl (2 weeks ago)
"Now this is what true 'Hick Hop' is. Way before Cowboy Troy, Tow Down, and others Shawn Brown paved the way with his video. Cowboy stylee - 100 percent. I declare Shawn Brown the Grandfather of Hick Hop due to this video. He deserves to be in the Hick-Hop Hall of Fame."

he's bang-on, too, most of these comments are a running debate on who was better or more authentic or first or whatever. I get a kick out of 'em

[Zookeeper]

100. I've never seen that!

I remember hearing it once or twice. Funny!

:hi:

[idgiehkt]

106. Good Vibrations - Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch

http://youtube.com/watch?v=_ilcw4Z7I_s

I love this song, especially the vocal by Loleatta Holloway, it really makes this song stand out. and the piano solos are cool too

[Zookeeper]

108. I've always really liked that song...

although I've never seen that video.

Nice.... :thumbsup:

[idgiehkt]

110. I have tried and tried to find out who that musician is

that does those beautiful piano runs but I can't find it online anywhere. That and Holloway's tearing it up on the sample of her song made it so different.

edit: and the dancing in that video kicks butt, too. I love watching these dancers, that late 90's early 90's hip-hop dancing was so energetic.

Here is Foxy Brown's "I'll Be" which has amazing dancers in it too
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJRDBOHaGj8

this is a contrast, though from how innocent hip hop used to be and how sexualized it is now.

Black Cat by Janet Jackson
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_1MM5R0F40

[idgiehkt]

202. wow, I love Black Cat

I don't know how I missed this the first time

I loved "If" by Janet. I feel like Britney pretty much stole Janet's image out from under her. Their sound is identical...it's a shame because Janet is a more interesting artist. But once a woman gets a certain age she's put out to pasture. At least Janet was an innovator.

117. C&C Music Factory - Gonna Make You Sweat

[Taverner]

119. Scissor Sisters - Lights

No pussyfootin' or that look of surprise
Can't hide the holes in your eyes or cover up that bitter smile
All the birds can see that you're heading south
That mirror deep in your mouth reflects you running on for miles

When you cut the lights out think of me
When you cut the lights out think of all the things you can't see
But are they real?
That face will be revealed

Nobody's callin' that payphone in your mind
I wonder just what they find but that line's busy all the time
I ain't got nothing but your seed on my face
You'll put them babies to waste without your finger in the pie

When you cut the lights out think of me
When you cut the lights out think of all the things you can't see
But are they real?
That face will be revealed

My mama told me one thing I'll remember till I die
The one you want the most will be the one that you defy
The times they're gonna love you
Like stitches in the scar
You can never run from trouble
'Cause there ain't no place that far

When you cut the lights out think of me
When you cut the lights out think of all the things you can't see
But are they real?
That face will be revealed



One of the best songs on that album!

[idgiehkt]

125. "Om Numah Shivaya" by Apache Indian

Om Numah Shivaya

Jai om numah shivaya

Jai om numah shivaya

Intro
Well everybody would you focus your mind
Search for the truth and you will find
Good spirit and strength from within
That fights against all sin

Jai om numah shivaya

Verse
I shall walk across the land that has been chosen
And I shall climb the mountain so high,
I shall go across the sea and across the ocean
And sing with the bird in the sky,
Its only jah up above man who leads the way
Under whose shadow I abide,
Me say you’re running and you’re running and you’re running away
But from yourself you know you can¹t hide

Jai om numah shivaya

Well everybody would rise and focus your mind
Search for the truth and learn to be kind
Everybody would you fight against the evil you find
Tell you people about the ’religion of your mind¹

Jai om numah shivaya

Verse 2
He who dwells in the secret place of the most high
Shall abide under the shadow of the almighty i
Everyday I rise...rise up above their lies
But still them want fight I and i
Everyday I rise ...rise with my spirits well high
Ca you know jah jah guide I and i

Jai om numah shivaya

[idgiehkt]

127. what a great beat

that is awesome, lol

this is fantastic, than's for posting it, kind of what sha na na would have sounded like if they had been a reggae band

ragamuffin style...I wish some of the reggae I love was available on youtube.

[ornotna]

205. Ok, here it is

Well that didn't work, dang. I'll try again.

[SteppingRazor]

126. Daft Punk

Greatest DJ performance I have ever seen, and I've seen most of the heavy hitters.

[idgiehkt]

128. what is that, is it a song or

a band? I can look it up on youtube but I don't know where to begin...

[Strawman]

130. I like Robot Rock by them

http://youtube.com/watch?v=g_1rKMSTQRw

Around the World is probably the most well known dance song by them

http://youtube.com/watch?v=FMpsnDxNbqQ

[stuntcat]

147. Da Funk's my favorite

And the video's funny
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpf72npcnj4

[idgiehkt]

158. okay

this is what someone else was talking about...I just wish when people posted videos on youtube they would be required by law to post the release date so I can get all this straight in my head, lol.

This tune seems very familiar.

[KitchenWitch]

131. White Horse. P Funk.

[idgiehkt]

134. is it this song?

this is like an 80's remake if this is the right song
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Nho44DR0dw

[Strawman]

132. Talking Heads: Life During Wartime

http://youtube.com/watch?v=xzORu1dqEE0

or Wordy Rappinghood by Tom Tom Club
http://youtube.com/watch?v=V6P4Z_-ifGA

[idgiehkt]

135. oh yeah, baby

I remember this! I love this song but I never knew the name of it. Thanks!

I adore "Genius of Love" by the Tom Tom club
http://youtube.com/watch?v=evWsOmdeY78

it really is one of the most beautiful, ethereal dance songs. Makes me happy just listening to it. :) I wish we had a dancing icon for that.

I'm in heaven...

:loveya:

[Strawman]

133. A Number of Names: Sharevari (Detroiters: Remember "The Scene?")

Check this out:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=xhE-0IDpkiM

[Zookeeper]

138. I loved those old dance shows....

"Soul Train" every Saturday morning....:bounce:

[idgiehkt]

139. that is awesome

I can't believe I haven't heard that, it sounds like some new wave or some early 90's techno or something. Wow. There was so much going on the 80's that's been just lost until recently. I have never seen that show, that is really cool, like a Detroit based Soul Train or something...thanks for posting it.

[Strawman]

137. Jam on It: Newcleus

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTfHpsS7rBU

I feel like the Electrifying Mojo tonight. Man, I miss that stuff.

[idgiehkt]

140. I remember this!!!

LOL, man this is great, it's bringing back so many memories.

wiki-wiki-wiki-wiki!!

I think my little brother used to break dance to this. LOL.

Great break-dancing in that video, too. :)

[Strawman]

141. two more: Mann Parrish: Boogie Down Bronx, Egypt, Egypt: Egyptian Lover

Mann Parrish:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiP7PXzZy2g
Nice you tube video by someone

Egyptian Lover: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l83pfpprTvs
Another one that is not the actual video, but at least you can hear the song this way.

[idgiehkt]

144. amazing

I am getting more and more interested in this period of hip-hop, early to mid-eighties before it got gimmick-ized into 'gangsta rap'. I love Ani Difranco's description of it and folk music in this quote:


DiFranco herself noted that "folk music is not an acoustic guitar--that's not where the heart of it is. I use the word 'folk' in reference to punk music and rap music. It's an attitude, it's an awareness of one's heritage, and it's a community. It's subcorporate music that gives voice to different communities and their struggle against authority."<8>
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ani_DiFranco

Amen to that, and all that creativity coming out of a culture of struggle and poverty, it's pretty amazing. This was from that period where it was totally self-invented by the Black community and still 'sub-corporate' like Difranco says.


The Egyptian lover song seems vaguely familiar, like it's from a Rave or something. So much good music, so little time.

[idgiehkt]

142. My Adidas by Run DMC

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0R32IK5zhw

some moran put this on youtube with an idiotic fanvid, but I'm posting it because it's my favorite Run DMC song and the first one of their's I ever heard.

[Strawman]

143. Love them

Rock Box is my favorite:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgPPjQ8qDp0

I could do without the Sid Caesar part of this video, but cool nontheless.

[idgiehkt]

151. good one

they do that with "It's Tricky", as well, with this stupid stuff by Penn and Teller in the video...

I love "It's Tricky" almost as much as "My Adidas", I also love "You Be Illin" but so far I haven't been able to find it on youtube
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nV3BP9uewV4

when I wake up people take up almost all of my time...

[Zookeeper]

145. One of my absolute favorites...

Give up the Funk!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EztIEkS7esA

Edited for better video.

[idgiehkt]

149. all this music

seems so innocent and joyful...Okay the chorus just hit, I totally remember this.

:bounce:

We want the funk, gotta have the funk!

funny how you only remember parts of songs like this...

this is such a classic

:woohoo:

We should just have an all-funk thread someday. I'm kind of a funk-ignoramus, (an funknoramus?) so other people would have to be posting stuff. Thanks for this.

[Zookeeper]

162. It's full of joyful energy....

Parliament/Funkadelic/George Clinton were always kind of otherworldly.

(I'm having so much fun with your thread, thanks, idgiehkt!)

[S n o w b a l l]

148. This from Blue Man Group & who else of course?

Coming to my town this month. Would love to go see them.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maU8rs6dMVM

And one of the best dance songs ever!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8aWc_4IVx0

[idgiehkt]

154. MJ was a true master

This is my personal favorite of his
Don't Stop til you get enough
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ntojl0WHNlw

also

I wanna Rock with You
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P54zokPFXYA
lol, what a line:
Girl close your eyes, let that rhythm get into you,
don't try to fight it, there ain't nothing that you can do...

we used to have those disco lights when I was growing up and we would get in the living room and put this album (yes vinyl, lol) on and dance around to this song trying to be like the people on Soul Train...those were the days.

[S n o w b a l l]

155. Oh, I know...

I wore out the Thriller albumn.

Loved Rock With you!

[idgiehkt]

157. I also love Smooth Criminal

I don't know why, but I love to dance to this song, even though it is so choppy and 'start and stoppy' or whatever. It's just amazing, it always gets me out of my chair.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTtp7oUNGCw

It's that damn catchy chorus, it's just irresistable

Annie Are You Ok
Will You Tell Us That You're Ok
There's A Sign In The Window
That He Struck You
A Crescendo Annie
He Came Into Your Apartment
He Left The Bloodstains
On The Carpet
Then You Ran Into The
Bedroom
You Were Struck Down
It Was Your Doom...

[S n o w b a l l]

159. Damn you got me dancin now!

[Zookeeper]

165. That Blue Man Group video is awesome!

(Venus Hum is adorable. I want her dress.)

:hi:

[stuntcat]

150. I Don't Feel Like Dancin!!

Scissor Sisters
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgDTLjJVOhk

[idgiehkt]

160. they sound so much like the Bee Gees to me

the youtube comments on this are hysterical. At first they annoyed me but now I'm really glad people are having these running debates about silly topics and getting into it with each other, it's very entertaining, lol.

I'm glad SS are trying to bring the disco sound back, it's a very 'happy' sound and there is nothing wrong with that as jaded as people are now. I have a feeling this long is gonna be in my head for awhile, thanks for posting it ;)

[Zookeeper]

152. Does anyone remember the early '80's DC sound?

Trouble Funk, "Good to Go."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOM6RHS_nrk

I have an old vinyl LP compilation of this stuff somewhere in my basement.

[S n o w b a l l]

153. That's great! :)

[idgiehkt]

156. Outstanding

so much to like about this. I love all these old videos showing the cities and the environments all this creativity is coming out of. Also love the youtube comments:
WARLOCK214 (1 month ago)
"AAAAAAAAWWWWWWW Still funky.I remember when R/E, EU/ and THE PEACEMAKERS, LIL BENNY, REDS AND THE BOYS, TROUBLE,AND CHUCK ruled DC GO-GO. Back then folks knew how to act at a block party without gettin all shot the hell up.Who ever posted this thanks for the memories."

I miss the days when bands had a horn section...

[Zookeeper]

166. I dug out that old LP....

It's called "Go Go Crankin'...Paint the White House Black...Warning: This is THE D.C. Sound Attack."

Trouble Funk, Slim, E.U., Chuck Brown and the Soul, Redds and the Boys. 1985.

Yes, that comment got to me, too. Sad...:(

[Manifestor_of_Light]

163. "Roll With It" by Steve Winwood.

Good for doing the Harlem Shuffle to.

"Dancin' in the streets" by Martha and the Vendettas or Mick and Bowie (your choice).

"Twist and Shout" -- Beatles did the best version.

[idgiehkt]

164. roll with it is a great song

great video too, I'll look it up tomorrow :hi:

[idgiehkt]

167. Roll with it by Steve Winwood, plus Stayin Alive

174. wow, thanks

I like the two Underworld ones the best, I'll listen to the last four tomorrow.

For some reason I started thinking about the song Stella by Yellow which of course is not on youtube...it's the one they used in Ferris Bueller's day off.

[TheBaldyMan]

171. I think this count's as dance

I love Mr. Thomas' outfit in this,.

178. "Do You Wanna Funk" by Sylvester

and "Pull Up to the Bumper" by Grace Jones. For some reason, two rude ones came to mind.

[idgiehkt]

183. I don't know where to begin

here is the search page for that, so many remixes and different versions I have no idea which one to pick:

You know, I had no idea until just now that he was gay. Man, he died of AIDS in 1988. :(

I don't know how I ever missed that, but that kind of thing always went over my head when I was younger. Thanks for posting that one, it's a classic.

:bounce:

[Zookeeper]

253. You're welcome...

DiscoVisionSF has also posted the anthem "San Francisco" by the Village People. Looking at those reminded me so much of the spirit of S.F. in the late '70's and very early '80's. And what a shock and crushing blow the AIDS crisis was to the community. I lost fifteen friends and acquaintances to AIDS. Since the disease was new, they didn't have the option of prevention. Makes me want to b**ch slap kids who choose to have unprotected sex....x(

[idgiehkt]

258. I know.

I had a friend who lived in San Fran in the eighties and one day he got out his old photo album and started showing me the photos and it was so sad because half to three quarters of the men in there had passed away from AIDS. It was just a bad trip and he ended up closing it and putting it away. It's why I will forever despise Ronald Reagan because of how he handled the AIDs crisis, despite all the other harm he did that one stands out as his worst crime.

180. egypt egypt by the egyptian lover

You only take heat when you need to
You only take heat (E) when you need to
And you need to

Come let me brief you
And let you see where greed leads to
And you need to

Inspire the love inside your people
Our people, equal
For teens oh knows people, no spyads
No more hellfires and please no more gunfire

Dance 4 Life (4x)

Quench we meable in thirst
Put them first
And when the floodgates burst
Come inside and we'll keep you strong

We protect the children of this new dawn
We're properly skilled and we fear no storm
And what we're building will persevere long
After the wicked ‘em disappear

Justice, dues and rights gone clear
And the and the youth we have will start this year
And the youth we have will start this year

Dance 4 Life (12x)

Back in those days, there was a free jukebox at my town's Boys' Club. It had two songs--

Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard

and

Sylvia's Mother :banghead:

Even today, I cringe when I hear "...and the o-per-a-tor said forty cents more, for the next... three... minutes..."

[WCGreen]

215. Thanks....

I was watching Woodstock on VH-1

[idgiehkt]

220. that's a nice one

I remember this one...I am really starting to want to get into funk and disco more. It's hard now because we are all so used to that really hard driving bass beat because of rap that the music sounds so 'light' or something.

[Hardrada]

216. Pennsylvania 65 000

[idgiehkt]

I couldn't help thinking that this sounded like ABBA. So I had to put some ABBA in here, since this is a dance music thread

ABBA - Dancing Queen

[Scooter24]

[idgiehkt]

234. man, that "We Like to Party" is hard to sit still to

do not ask me why, but it made me think of this for some reason...
Touch Me - Samantha Fox
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiuimDNlyuQ
(lol, sorry, I can't help it, it just happened)

That Zombie Nation song makes me wanna be out somewhere dancing right now (but only if I can wear that jacket, lol.

:bounce:

[Dude_CalmDown]

237. The jacket is quite necessary I will agree.

Damn I miss college. Feeling pretty old right about now.

[idgiehkt]

232. I just thought of another one...PM Dawn, Set Adrift on Memory Bliss

wow, I love this sound...takes me back so fast. I have to post the lyrics
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUUfTR4BPSk

The camera pans the cocktail glass,
Behind a blind of plastic plants;
I found the lady with the fat diamond ring.
Then you know I can't remember a damn thing.
I think its one of those de ja vu things,
Or a dream thats tryin' to tell me something.
Or will I ever stop thinkin' about it.
I dont know, I doubt it.
Subterranean by design,
I wonder what I would find if I met you,
Let my eyes caress you,
Until I meet the thought of misses princess who?
Often wonder what makes her work.
I guess I'll leave that question to the experts,
Assuming that there are some out there.
They're probably alone, solitaire.
I can remember when I caught up
With a pastime intimate friend.
She said, bet you're probably gonna say I look lovely,
But you probably don't think nothin' of me.
She was right, though, I can't lie.
Shes just one of those corners in my mind,
And I just put her right back with the rest.
Thats the way it goes, I guess.

Baby you send me
Set adrift on memory bliss of you

Careless whisper from a careless man,
A neutron dance for a neutron fan;
Marionette strings are dangerous things,
I thought of all the trouble they bring.
An eye for an eye, a spy for a spy,
Rubber bands expand in a frustrating sigh.
Tell me that she's not dreaming.
She's got an ace in the hole,
It doesnt have meaning.
Reality used to be a friend of mine,
cause complete control, I dont take too kind.
Christina applegate, you gotta put me on.
Guess whose piece of the cake is jack gone?
She broke her wishbone and wished for a sign.
I told her whispers in my heart were fine.
What did she think she could do?
I feel for her, I really do.
And I stared at the ring finger on her hand,
I wanted her to be a big pm dawn fan,
But I had to put her right back with the rest.
Thats the way it goes, I guess.

Baby you send me...
Set adrift on memory bliss of you

[Dude_CalmDown]

235. That does take one back some

Been quite a while since I heard this.

[idgiehkt]

236. another great PM Dawn tune ..."I'd die without you"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euspYjFX-jQ

this song is so beautiful...they were a great outfit.

[NuttyFluffers]

242. Peaches - Tombstone, Baby

Peaches - Tombstone, Baby

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtWF4E9RiYo

i just love the grind to it. does me something fierce on the dancefloor.

i'll put more up here tomorrow if this topic is still around...

[NuttyFluffers]

243. oh, ok. just one more b4 bed. Lords of Acid - The Crablouse

Lords of Acid - The Crablouse

http://youtube.com/watch?v=Dw28hmEYrJM

um, it's probably not for everybody. so if you feel you have an inner Edwardian Governess, i might recommend not clicking on this, FYI. i included it because i just so love this song and it was one of several pivotal songs of my youth. used to go crazy when i heard this on the radio growing up. just thought i'd share some bit of my formative years...
O8)

[idgiehkt]

246. it's different...I like it though

I have to say, they did a great job with the lyrics for such an off the wall topic. :)


I'm a huge Lunachicks fan and something like this is right up their alley, lol. Interesting topic to sing about. She does a great job though. This song is about tampons and pms, it's more thrash but it gets me going the same way a dance song would. Whoever put this video in here must have been squeamish or something because they edited out all the references to what the song is all about; I guess they wanted just to focus on their musicianship. The song is actually about twice this long.

Lunachicks - Plugg
http://youtube.com/watch?v=fHUFlcnlvPs

here is a much more danceable tune by them

Lunachicks - I don't want you any more
http://youtube.com/watch?v=oPnrKg3gqaU&mode=related&search=

[idgiehkt]

245. what a sexy, sexy voice

this is so hot. She's a current artist, right? It seems like a throw back to the early 90's or late 80's, the video and look I mean. Thanks for posting this, I'd heard of her but not heard anything buy her. It seems current and retro at the same time. Kind of like a techno PJ Harvey or something. I love the way her vocals are so gentle. Great song. :)

[Spider Jerusalem]

244. More...

The Prodigy - Spitfire

Moby - Go

Underworld - Cowgirl

BT & Mike Doughty - Never Gonna Come Back Down

[idgiehkt]

247. Yes!

I love this Spitfire song, it has everything. Groovy. I am typing to the beat, lol. Thanks for posting that. I love the middle eastern stylings in there too. This is amazing. I think one of the youtubers said it best: "Damn, those are some heavy beats!! The kinda shit that'll blow out your speakers!!" Flawless. :hi:

I also really like 'Go' by Moby, and the 'Cowgirl' song. "Never come back down" is a great song, too. I like dance songs that are a little harder like this, and I like the rap too, it's great, but my favorite of course is 'Spitfire'.

[Spider Jerusalem]

252. Glad you liked 'em...

kind of surprised that except for one other guy I'm pretty much alone in posting links to techno/electronica. Seems that it's not what one would call popular around here.

[idgiehkt]

254. It surprises me even more

I thought there would be alot of people around here with knowledge about that. :shrug:

Early 90's hip-hop is even less popular than that, lol...but it's one of my favorite eras and types of music just because of the dance. I also like techno and trance but I don't know a whole lot about it. That Spitfire song is one of the best things posted in this thread. I love stuff like that. There has also been a lot of funk posted in here, some of the videos from the late 70's are real gems. I've had a lot of fun with this thread. I don't know where all the techno people are, unless they are sleeping during the day and out dancing all night and therefore don't have time to post the music, lol
:shrug:

[idgiehkt]

251. My favorite dance video of the 80's - Every little step, by Bobby Brown

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=narRGOHDe_I

Nobody moved better than him during that time, I just loved watching him because of the way he could dance, and I loved watching them doing the running man in this video.

[Lethe]

255. More Bounce to the Ounce - Zapp and Roger

people can't resist hitting the floor when that talk box starts up

[idgiehkt]

256. here is a live version

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlL2tTtx-oA

I really like this. There is great energy in this performance!
:bounce:

[idgiehkt]

257. Can't be a dance music thread without Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam

I wonder if I take you home
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Adxmj9aOp0o

Can you feel the beat within my heart?

They should be a lot more revered for what they contributed to that genre, I hope they are not forgotten
