Assuming I can dance!! This meme makes me laugh. The whole point of Zeppelin is that you can't dance to it. :)
I take aerobics, so I know a lot of kickboxing and aerobic routines to certain songs. There's a really awesome uptempo cover of Sheryl Crow's "Steve McQueen" that makes for a fantastic workout. There's an old Jimi Hendrix tribute album with a lot of great kickboxing material on it. The Cure's cover of "Purple Haze" is awesome in that regard. I get a lot of dance music from my aerobics instructor. I'm currently laughing very hard about "Dynamite" by Tiao Cruz; I first heard Kylie Minogue's "Can't Get you outta my head" in that class. Another great aerobics album is Santana's "Supernatural" (no relation!): I love "All in the Name of Love," "Corazon Espinado," and a ton of others on there (especially "Put Your Lights On" -- but you can't dance to it!)
There are big favorites like "YMCA" (which always makes me think of Cameron Diaz waking up super cheerful in the Charlie's Angels movie) and "Soul Bossa Nova" which makes me think of Austin Powers.
I do a little ballroom, so I think of certain songs in that regard. "Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps" is on the top of the list.
I remember at our wedding reception we were trying to take our first dances to "Marble Halls" by Enya and "Pride and Joy" by Stevie Ray Vaughan. The opinion of the crowd was low. :P We know quite a bit more about swing now, and cut the rug whenever Stevie gives us the chance.
That's a lot of songs! I have a whole "cheerful morning" playlist with uptempo danceable songs to get me going in the morning. Yay, Paolo Nutini: "Brand New Shoes." :)
