Post by: tha_nut on 18 Oct 2005, 02:45: im not talking about weird stuff that you found in the underground but what songs get you dancing that would surprise you.

Post by: GebStar on 18 Oct 2005, 03:06: It's my opinion that something such as this should be placed in the music forum. Other than that i have nothing else to say on the matter.

Which when I think about it, is completely plausible.

Post by: ObsoleteDonkey on 18 Oct 2005, 10:41: Basically anything by Meat Beat Manifesto, especially Prime Audio Soup.

Everytime I hear that song I piss myself laughing (more so).

Post by: aquagirl2988 on 18 Oct 2005, 15:15: Um...Not so surprising, but anything by Duran Duran. I'll take "Rio" and "Hungry Like the Wolf" over any type of drugs anyday.

Post by: Patrick on 18 Oct 2005, 15:17: "Lord of the Dance" by Scottish folk duo The Corries always gets me moving, for some reason. And also "Wha Wadna Fecht For Charlie?" by the same people. There's nothing like fast-paced bodhran drumming to get the blood flowing.

Post by: KharBevNor on 18 Oct 2005, 16:23: Since a large amount of my favourite bands feature traditional rhythms and lots of balalaikas, bagpipes and bazoukis, I would have to agree with you there. Although for me that probably, resultantly, wouldn't be unusual.

And before the flaming comes down like a plague, yes, they werevery overrated.

Post by: tania on 18 Oct 2005, 18:24: "Kick Some Ass" by Stroke 9.

This is the song that is played at the end of Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back where they just go to people's houses beating up kids.

That song really does make you want to go out and pick a fight with the first person you see.

Agree'd. Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes also gets me going.

Post by: Bunnyman on 19 Oct 2005, 00:43: Anything by Godspeed You! Black Emperor, but that's obvious.

Overseer - Supermoves. Ishkur's Elecronic Dance Music guide (holy sweet jesus, best use of flash ever) says it reminds him of giant robots crushing everything and making way for a new world order, and wouldn't you know he's right.

Mirwais - Disco Science. Especially with a good subwoofer.

Remix by AFX (off of aphex twin's "26 Mixes For Cash"). Get up and move...this is the shit. I can't sit still with this song playing.

Post by: wvumDJBen on 19 Oct 2005, 00:48: Lately I've been unable to sit still while listening to Tout va bien by Les Sans culottes.. I love that song...

Also, anything by the faint.

That album is (as the name kinda suggests) a collection of remixes Aphex Twin has done, presumably in return for cash. Thus, every song on the album is a "Remix by AFX", but none of them are actually called that. As far as I know.
The chances are you're refering to either Seefeel - Time To Find Me (AFX Fast Mix), 808 State - Flow Coma (AFX Remix) or Baby Ford - Normal (Helston Flora Remix By AFX), because they're the ones that are actually credited to AFX, rather than Aphex Twin. More specifically, It's probably 808 State - Flow Coma (AFX Remix), because it's dance-tastic. If this is the case, then yeah. I get the freak on too.

Also, Mob Nation - Got Numb which coincidentally, comes right after that Aphex Twin track on the Amon Tobin Solid Steel Mix CD. It's a goddamn banger, and has never been released. Curses.

Post by: decklin on 19 Oct 2005, 11:08: Speaking of 808 State...

the first 5 tracks of "Gorgeous".

(rest of the album is such a letdown after that, although the next 5 tracks are OK... but damn, if it had been an EP, it'd be right up on my top 10 of all time.)

Post by: Kid Modernist on 19 Oct 2005, 12:56: It would be an odd song if it weren't so popular:

Harder Better Faster Stronger - Daft Punk
Title: The oddest songs that get you movin/pumped up
Post by: ASturge on 19 Oct 2005, 13:07: Anything by 'Girl's Aloud'

I love that band.

Fuck you!

Post by: La Creme on 19 Oct 2005, 13:30: Not so weird, but still: Every Cherry Poppin' Daddies song ever. EVER.

Also, I have skanked to Belle & Sebastian a couple of times. It sort of works.

TISM FTW!

Post by: Not An Addict on 20 Oct 2005, 11:32: "Ride the White Horse" by Laid Back. It's...odd, but very danceable and synth-y.

Post by: Kid Modernist on 20 Oct 2005, 11:44: Lightning Bolt - Two Towers!

God this song is fucking amazing.

Post by: TrueNeutral on 20 Oct 2005, 13:35: I never managed to find any songs by TISM other than 'Everyone Else Has Had More Sex Than Me'.

I have no idea how to get music. Dutch record stores are fucking terrible, and there are no indie record stores I know of. I pretty much rely on my friends to gimme stuff.
