I'll check yours out Tyler
For me, there's so very many... but one just for fun one I love is Deee-Lite's

Groove Is In The Heart....

We're going to dance,
We're going to dance,
We're going to dance
And have some fun

The chills that you
Spill up my back
Keep me filled with
Satisfaction when we're done
Satisfaction of what's to come
(I) I couldn't ask for another
(I-I-I-I-I I)
No I couldn't ask for another
Your groove I do deeply dig
No walls only the bridge
My supperdish, my succotash wish
(Sing it baby)
(I) I couldn't ask for another
(Uh-huh uh-huh)
(I-I-I-I-I I)
No I couldn't ask for another

Groove is in the heart
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Groove is in the heart
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Groove is in the heart
Groove is in the heart
Ah-ah-ah

The depth the hula groove
Move us to the nth hoop
We goin' through to Horten
Hears a who-ooh
(I) I couldn't ask for another
(I-I-I-I-I I)
No couldn't ask for another
DJ Soul (soul) was on a roll
I've been told he can't be sold
He's not vicious or malicious
Just de-lovely and delicious
(I) I couldn't ask for another

(Sing it)

Groove is in the heart
Ah-ah-ah-ah
(Ne-na-na-na-na)
Groove is in the heart
(Ne-na-na-na-na)
Groove is in the heart
(Ne-na-na-na-na)
Groove is in the heart-ah-ah-ah

Groove is in the heart
Ah-ah-ah-ah (yeah)
Groove is in the heart
Ah-ah-ah
Groove is in the heart
Groove is in the heart
Ah-ah-ah

"astronomical..."

good one, manu.

really? i gotta narrow it down to just one here?

i'll be back...

Manuela said...

You know, i love you all so much. i love that I have a nickname here, "Manu" :) It's what my friends in Argentina used to call me from pre-school to 6th grade!!

Anonymous said...

okay. i've got one.

Erin said...

Wow I'll have to think about it too. It depends on the day.

Erin said...

OK I had to narrow it down to what song is always most likely to drive me to dance. I have yet to hear it live, but it is definitely on my list.

In fact, one of my best memories of this song is dancing to it with Pam and Ché in some obscure club in Seattle about a year ago. I hope Ché doesn't hate me for ratting her out. ;-)

Sweet Home Alabama

I have no ties to Alabama, per se...however I lived in Texas when this song was popular and I think the entire south claimed it. I was just a girl, but it will always be in my soul.

Manuela, I love that song.. you are sure right about it getting us to dance... same with dancing queen..

I currently like (and I havn't listned to normal music in yeeeaars) it has always been christian music but now I am listening to the radio..

Katy Perry with Hot n cold...
The ting tings - that's not my name..

THose songs generally get my feet tapping and before you know it, I am nodding my head and off I gooooooooo........

Mike said...

Manu ~ That's a great song and a total bizarre video to go with it. Check out the video.

Now as far as my choice...hmm

First I thought of this
Then I though of this

but in the end, Robert Palmer was the winner.

Jeannette Altes said...

Hmm... right now, I have to go with Tran-Siberian Orchestra - "Wizards of Winter" and at the same time, the finale from Peter and the Wolf, which has got me going since I was 2 years old (and still does).

Erin said...

I LOVE TSO's Wizards of Winter. We saw them in concert two years ago, I would highly recommend it...they should be coming around some of you guys between now and the end of the year...they always tour Nov/Dec and they were just here. My FIL went for the first time, and he LOVED it.

Capercaille's Coisich A Ruin

We're all Celtic folk music junkies in this household. :)

Sara said...

And hey all, and esp. Tyler Dawn--thanks for the "Rahab's Kitchen Pick-Me Up Collection." What a great spot of sunshine for a grey, rainy Midwestern morning. :)

Tyler Dawn said...

YW, Sara lol. I figure if we were all in a room together we would talk about more than just concerns, it's fun to talk about silly stuff too.

Speaking of which, a few of those vids gave me a psychadelic headache rofl

OH NO, the Robert Palmer girls are trying to make Mark "one of them" I love that commercial.

Ruth said...

Sweet Home Alabama gets me on the dance floor too anytime!

What song makes me feel alive? Here's mine

Did y'all see those funky shoes in the Dee Lite video? They were designed by my former employer John Fluevog and the group came in shopping one day when I was in the store.

Ruth said...

Jon - your video "is not available in my country" according to the u tube police.

Heather said...

This one always makes me laugh, and dancing like a crazy person while watching them live on stage is unbelievable! (mp3 or lyrics - warning: language).

Mike said...

Ruth ~ Heart has always been one of my absolute faves. Anne Wilson is one of only two vocalists whose voice I can literally feel all the way up my spine.

This is one example.

Bar L. said...

For me there are lots of songs that fit this category....but today I will say "One" by U2

Heather said...

Sorry, that file is a .wma not an .mp3 - for those to whom the difference between file types matters :-)

Erin said...

I heart Heart.

And celtic music.

Jeannette Altes said...

Erin, me, too. :-)

Ché said...

Erin, I'm with ya on the Sweet Home Alabama. That song makes me get up and dance EVERY time.
There is also one my kids introduced me to...Numa Numa.
Love that too...sorry, not enough of a techie to create a link for it....

Joel Brueseke said...

Rock This Town!

Erin said...

Oh YEAH! Stray Cats!

Erin said...

Heather - I love that song! So where do I sign up? ;-)

Valorosa said...

Aretha!

Heather said...

I think you sign up by going out and dancing like a loon. Like I do :-D

The band is Jackson Jackson, and the album is The Fire Is On The Bird, if you're interested in buying it you can get it via their Myspace.

Sue said...

I get stressed at questions like these :) I have to remind myself, "Just one song. You can have another 4 million that make you feel alive. Nominating one will not change that." I think it's a mental issue :)

Anyway, one - just one out of the 4 million - song that makes me feel alive is The Load Out/Stay by Jackson Browne :)
