Songs you hated but danced to anyway

I’m interested to hear from the massive about any songs which they find sonically repugnant but cannot resist cutting a rug to when the crowd gets going….
For me the out and out winner has to be Two Princes by the Spin Doctors….
Had I admitted in any student union bar in about 1993 to having liked this corporate-come-soap-dodging turd of a song I would have had several pints of snakebite poured over my head…
…but once it sounded over the P.A. at the indie disco – there was no stopping me….(in fact even the thought of its funky shuffle now makes me twitch a little)

The usual wedding reception suspects...
I hate, HATE that Proclaimers song but had the time of my life linking arms and doing an embarrassing faux Scottish jig to it at my wedding.
Otherwise as someone in a pub covers band, I've got this weird thing about songs I hated - and still hate - to listen to, and yet get a strange thrill out of performing. I find it exhilarating to play Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus and yet if it came on the radio I'd hurl it out the window.
wet blanket
I don't and won't dance to anything heinous, these days with my crazy legs (and crazier feet) I don't even attempt it, I'd only fall over and the only tunes that ever really got me up there and 'boogying' in my yoot were Into the Valley by SKIDS and Der Mussolini by DAF.
So there ye go!
The Mavericks'
Dance the Night Away. I don't hate this song when it comes on the radio, but I find it a bit of cheesy fluff.
Played at the right time of the evening however, at the peak of alcohol induced euphoria, and not singing the chorus very loudly is nigh on impossible...
Do you do air trumpet/trombone
to the blasts of brass at the end though?
Rude
not to...
Almost anything...
That wasn't 'soulful house' in the 'Lost Weekend' that was four or five years in the youth, an ting.
Cannot bear to listen much 1990s dance music now. There was so much garbage coming out every week you felt honour bound to indulge. Looking back, it was abysmal.
I blame Mr Goode.

The rowing dance was irresistible at the village hall youth club
