Title: Good Upbeat Danceable (singable) Music.
Post by: Spartan Pho3nix on 04 Dec 2005, 22:51

I want a mix of good music that's awesome to dance or sing along to. A mix that when you pop into the car CD player, it's just wild and awesome, and if you play it at a party, everyone can't resist bobbing to the beat.

I don't even mean like danceclub music. Just danceable.
In the same vein as "Train in Vain" by The Clash. Stuff like that.

Junior Senior is pretty darn danceable.  I think a lot of the stuff by The Feint could be pretty danceable too.

Ironic thing about saying that was that I have Junior Senior on right now. I read the new comic today and decided to turn it on.

I tried to think of something in my collection that fits your description, and the best I could come up with was Parliament.

I really need to get some more upbeat music, no wonder I'm always so lethargic. I sit around listening to Bowie all day.

Actually, Itunes random has just come up with another solution. Machine Gun Fellatio. It put on Pussy Town, which is pretty dancable, although the Paging Mr Strike album is sorta split between really mellow and hella dancey, so its not the best choice, but I'm pretty sure at least one of their albums is chock-full of up-beat dance stuff, and quite frankly, their lyrics are catchy as hell.

Edit: Actually, now that I put the thing on for an ride, apart from 3-4 tracks it is a very catchy up-beat album. I'd recommend it, anyway. Pussy Town and Take It Slow are excellent tracks both for singing along and dancing to, and if you can stomach Rollercoaster after how much it was whored out as a single, its another great song, in my opinion.

Try to get Miracle by Supersystem, that makes me want to dance and sing along, even thought I'm not sure what the words are.  I just make up something that sounds like it as I go along.

I can't believe no one's mentioned Basement Jaxx yet.  Only the most awesome music ever.  If you don't grin like an idiot after listening to "Hot n' Cold," you have no soul.

Folks at the party I went to on friday totally dug my "Best of the 80s with some other random crap" Mix:

Lipps, Inc - Funkytown (12" Version)
Luke Vibert - I Love Acid
Nena - 99 Red Balloons (If anyone has the German version, drop me a line, please?  Thanks!)
Sir Mix-A-Lot - Baby Got Back
Der Entenrot Mortengen - Die Internationale
Red Army Choir - Return to Slavianka

Also, it would be worthwhile to check out:
Luke Vibert - Kerrier District (album): Glorious, glorious happy, bouncy acid house.  If people aren't dancing by the end of "Disco Bus," they never will.
Natalie - Natalie: Thai pop music is the most bizarrely bouncy and happy bubblegum stuff on the planet.  Seriously, give it a try.  You'll die laughing.
Manu Chao - Clandestino: Chicks totally dig that Latin Beat thing, and fortunately Manu Chao is not only very danceable, but trilingual and musically quite complex.

For the Manu Chau/Mano Negra thing, I'd go with either his solo version of "King Of Bongo" or "Madman's Dead". But yeah, good party music he is.

Also: Sleepytime Gorilla Museum - Bring Back The Apocalypse (no joke.)

I think The Dandy Warhols song "Bohemian Like You" would be good for that.

"We Used To Be Friends" would be decent too.

Anyways, you're all missing Jay-Z, Gorrilaz (who aren't upbeat, I know, but who're still compellingly and awesomely danceable), and Smoosh.

Why not buy Erlend Øye's DJ Kicks album?  Great mix of fun, danceable music that goes great in a car.
