hey everyone, here's the deal.

i wanna make a collection of songs for a party next week and i am interested in rock tunes that can actually make you dance, not bounce around the place or start a mosh. (not that there's anything wrong with that!)
i wanna mix with the other kinds of music other people are going to bring.

Some i got so far:

bloc party - banquet
radio 4 - dance to the underground
b52's - private idaho
strokes - someday
the clash - this is radio clash
and others...

feel free to help me out...

    I don't know why, but The Ocean by Led Zeppelin always makes me dance.
    you couldn't swing if you were hangin' from a palm tree in a hurricane.

    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    Yeah, I'd say Gorillaz is a good bet.
    And for some reason, few songs make me want to dance like White Stripes's Seven Nations Army :p
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.
