You make me feel like dancing ...

I'm not sure if it is the fact that I've only had 3 hours of sleep, or that I've had nothing but coffee and diet coke for the last 20 hours or so ... but ... I feel like dancing.

Or more specifically I've got the song "You make me feel like dancing ... I wanna dance the night away ... " stuck in my head.

So, what gets your toes tapping on this lovely Friday?

I just deduced that Hootie and the Blowfish are playing our summer work concert (shhhh, it's a secret), so I HAD "Every Time I Think of You" playing in my brain-jukebox.

But now I've got the BeeGees :blech: going. Thanks, Katherine

Is the lack of sleep due to motherhood? If so, I understand.

It's hard to think over the rugrats music coming from the game site, but I'll try...

Eric Clapton's, She's Gone
and
Sonic Flood's, I Want to Know You

Now, got to let the rugrat play continue...ugh

Fairport Convention's Madeline for starters....

We danced in the rain together
Danced in the sun together
Danced when the other folk had gone upon their way


One-and-two-and-one-and-two-and

Wheeeeee!

What gets my toes tapping? The fact that I'm going to go in a few minutes to sign up for fall tap classes! Yippee!

I had Sinatra on a little while ago. This particular CD (disc 1, "My Way" best of collection) has a bunch of stuff that's good for foxtrot/lindy hop/swing practice.

Well, the other day - in the depth of my dispair - I had to laugh out loud when I found myself singing:

" if in a little while from now, I'm not feeling any less sour, I promise myself to treat myself and visit a nearby tower. Rising to the top, I'll throw myself off, blah blah blah, alone again, naturally".


Now I'm trying to control my musical mind better.
Sticking to musicals:

"I whistle a happy tune, and every single time the happiness in my tune convinces me that I'm not afraid. blah blah blah - 'cause when I fool, the people I fear, I fool myself as well....."

I need to get back to normal. I usually like "Touch Me" by The Doors.

Ahhhh!!!

This is so weird, I had the same experience last night. (Not with Leo Sayer-THANK GOD!) I had "I Wanna Be Sedated" stuck in my head so I queued up all my old punk favorites on Winamp. Much bouncing around my little home office followed.

Today, "I'm Alright" by Kenny Loggins is doing it for me.

The newer version of the Eagles' "Hotel California" has always made me want to dance.

And agree on Kenny Loggins' "I'm Alright."

Is the spring finally here?

Dancing... It must be something south-American or Caribbean: samba, mambo, rumba in particular. Tango will always get me on my feet; anybody game?

Oh my goodness, this song is starting to grow on me too. First two times I heard it were in the movie theater, and the second time I knew it was coming because they played the exact same songs in the same order and everything. Now the song has a real dark ambience for me. I still think it's hilarious how he starts the word "days" a lot sooner than you think he's supposed to. I have to make fun of it every time the song is even mentioned. Can't argue with ya though, the song's got a great beat.

A few others that I am seriously digging lately, oldies (to me anyway) but goodies...

Smokey Robinson "Being With You"
and
Stephanie Mills "Never Knew Love Like This Before"
