Daddyc's wheels of steel
Posted by daddyclark on 13 December 2011 - 9:19pm.
Lot of serious stuff in the news so time for something lighter I feel. As the party season is upon us the game is simple, lets have a disco! Post your floor fillers below. Most up arrows wins, cheesier the better. Last on on the dancefloor buys the next round.
Let's get the party started....

The Rolling Stones - 'Jumpin' Jack Flash'
Cheese-free in its original form, I'm afraid. Great dance tune though...
Junior Senior - Move Your Feet
That is one if he best, 'funnest', music videos I've ever seen
I'm grinning like an idiot now :-)
Yep
It does that to me every time :-D
Stimpy has well and truly
hit the nail on the head. This video is probably the memorable highlight to my (very brief) gym going phase. Great track!
Michael Zager band - Lets all chant.
Blimey.. That's a video..
Which reminds me. I must take those blancmanges out of the fridge.
The other day my Iphone
wouldn't let me on the site because it couldn't verify I was over 18. this must have been the "adult content" to which the pop up referred! and its to your credit.
don't we have enough beards on here?
enough I say!
This is...
...genuinely one of the greatest singles ever. The middle eight, 'Once you get started...' and those fantastic keyboard arpeggios make me shiver every time.
genuinely one of the greatest singles ever
Couldnt agree more
Lionel Richies finest moment bar none.
fabulous record.
THIS...
...was Nigel Rich Tea's finest moment, surely?
Divine 'Native Love'
I can still feel the excitement I felt when this used to come on at The State in Liverpool, early '80s.
Woo-yeah!
Past Experience says:
"This one works - just don't play the full version. Maybe just play it from about 3:30" (the murderous looks of bemusement aimed at the DJ whilst part one is playing continue to haunt me)
Sparks - Number One Song In Heaven
Euro electro
Cerrone - Supernature
How Soon Is Rose Royce
Irresistible
Deee-Lite with Groove is in the Heart. Commentary from Bootsy Collins.
Great one
:)
After NMTB
Heatwave - Boogie Nights
"Got to keep on dancing..." etc
And the suits in this are outstanding. I may have to get one.
Difficult one this....
But I'm gonna go for this big early house tune. You can't help but dance....
Inner City - Good Life
Tell me someting. You can play bass?
Double Trouble & The Rebel MC - Street Tuff.
Oh
Oh Bob thank you! I love Rebel MC but had forgotten.
And is he a Yankee?
Nah he's a Lahndahnah
!
You're more than welcome.
Just thinking about that track makes me want to dance. I won't, though. I'm on a train. It would be distressing for all.
Bob
Great choice, ditto Lenny's.
Which got me thinking
about the days when we used to go clubbing (many years ago) here was one from then
and this was the track that always used to end the night, when there were two 2 o'clocks in the day that didn't involve sleepless children.
Forty five!
My only moment of music prescience ever was when I bought the original single of Brimful of Asha, listened to it and thought "fuck me, with more of a beat, this would be number one forever".
I loved Big Beat. It sounds quite dated these days, but I loved it at the time. Here are a couple of guaranteed GO NUTS moments from the late nineties:
(Midfield General - Go Off)
(Beastie Boys - Body Movin' (Fatboy Slim remix))
(Wildchild - Renegade Master (Fatboy Slim remix))
In his heyday, that Cook feller knew the crack.
Can't (big) beat a bit of the Fat Boy
Was going to post Rockerfeller Skank but thought of Cornershop first (like the man says everyone needs a bosom for a pillow). Your mention of big beat though brought this to mind.
Best trivia fact about this track is when Chris Evans was just going into his "fruitcake" years he put this on about half seven in the morning on the Radio1 Breakfast show without previously listening to it just because it had Noel on it. He took it off after about 25 seconds because "it was a bit loud for this time of the morning!"
Fatboy Slim is f-ing in Devon
Or something. Have been listening to the 2nd and 3rd albums of his this week out of a sense of fuzzy nostalgia, and yes, they are still really good. YCALWB was one of the first albums I ever owned as a boy. Must have been 1999 when I got it.
But for dancing purposes, you can't get much better than "Ya Mama" with its funky video and insistent bass line. PUSH THE TEMPO
I couldn't agree more
I've just had to put it on. Both the albums you mention are great. Norman cook was definitely on fire in those days.
Music for Bloke Dancing.
Irrepressible, joyous, fantastic, shouty.
Even better than Street Tuff
And I didn't think such a thing was possible.
Still makes me all goose-pimply
Maybe it only works if you're a Paddy, but brilliant use in a Caffrey's ad from the late nineties. Miller's Crossing theme doesn't hurt, either.
YES
Oh, thank you from the shallows of my mind
I have spent the last three days going "I know that opening from somewhere, what the hell is it?"
Caffreys. Of course it was. I was expending far too much energy on that.
Never
Out of my all time top ten. The most uplifting intro ever... maybe There She Goes too.
It's time to get up
Donna Summer "I Feel Love"
A record so huge they had to build new turntables to play it!!
Not the best lyrics ever but it's okay.
Disco Heaven: First Choice in 1973
And if it's cheese, I'm a mouse.
The correct Rowland
One from 2011
Holy Ghost! - Some Children (ft Michael McDonald)
Nice video mash-up from the height of 70s disco line dancing.
Ah well, *I* like it...
A song so great, even Dannii Minogue couldn't ruin it.
(Stacy Lattisaw - Jump to the Beat)
My favorite disco diva, my favorite tune by her.
Lolleata Holloway, Runaway.
This is guaranteed to get my feet twitching
Roadblock/Stock, Aitken & Waterman
Keep on Truckin'
Eddie Kendricks
The 2 records absolutely positively guaranteed to get me up
Me too
2 golden oldies guaranteed to get me up (get on up)
James Brown 'Sex Machine'
Booker T and The MGs 'Green Onions'
Buggles - Video Killed the Radio Star
good party so far
right, it's my round. what you all drinkin? And Mr DJ line this one up please.
Well seeing as you so kindly offered
it's probably not quite late enough in the evening for this but...
Go on then
And now the end is near
we've reached the end of of evenings entertainment so lets slow it down a notch or to. Take the hand of the one you love (or at least hope to cop off with later) and shuffle round the floor to this...
And please leave quietly on the way home so we don't offend the neighbours. Thanks for tuning in :)
*sigh*
Things were so much simpler then. Our generation was about to inherit/take over the world and the time was pregnant with possibilities. Four blokes managed to capture the zeitgeist like no-one has before or since.
Why did it all have to get so complicated and f*cked up...
As long as enough of us still believe
In the sentiment of the song (and here at least the majority surely do) we'll be ok in the long run. Especially in our virtual world where junior senior gets the most ups for being "funnest". Chin up mr stimpy :)
Is it too late for the progressive-rock disco after-party?
...if not, then we NEED 'My Sweetheart' by Focus. Dig the groove, daddio!
For you Colin
it's never too late, all round to yours then? PS this tracks only 3 1/2 minutes long what's happening to you :)
Then let's ramp it up... to FOUR minutes, Daddio!
...with some more prog-funk-fusion, from the Beckmeister along with a camp man on keys and a scary looking fellow on bass. It's a band called Upp. Get DOWN!
Scary looking fellow on bass claimed to be called
Stephen Amazing.
His claim was somewhat undermined by the songwriting credits which, largely, read 'Clark/Copley/Field'. Given the other members of the band were happy to be known as Jim Copley and Andy Clark then, one can assume that Mr. Amazing was actually called Stephen Field :-)
I'm going for two more
You Gave Me Love - Crown Heights Affair
and Shame - Evelyn 'Champagne'King

Great call on both Tigger
By those choices I suspect I'm not the only old soulboy here...
Strangely overlooked these days
but still a tune!!!
Another great call Guns...
Those guys look like they're having the time of their fucking lives in that video. I just wish I could have joined them.
