FuNkShUi Posted May 11, 2016 Author Share Posted May 11, 2016 [quote name='Rich' timestamp='1462960984' post='3047240'] The ones that always seem to get people up are Dancing In The Streets, I Want You Back (segued into ABC), Walking On Sunshine, Uptown Funk, and Enjoy Yourself. [/quote] Tried Jackson 5 before with a different singer. Didn't work before, could well work now though. Who is Enjoy Yourself by?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rOB Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 [quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1462960306' post='3047233'] I only play originals so have never played anything anyone is remotely interested in, let alone danced too... [/quote] Ha! I feel tour pain. When I played in a covers band it was Spirit in the Sky that got the dancefloor full. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leschirons Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 If it's a mainly Brit audience, Le Freak and Uptown always get them up. If it's the French, our reggae version of Je ne regrette rien always packs the floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scalpy Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 We do a mash up of Hit the Road Jack, Happy and Whole Lotta Love. Proper mash up too, not a medley. It's called Jack My Happy Love Whole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger2611 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 We used to find Mr Brightside was a great floor filler, other than that Sex on Fire, Chelsea Dagger or I predict a Riot tended to get a great response Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maude Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 (edited) We're an acoustic band (doublebass, mandolin, guitar and cajon), our version of Push It by Salt 'n' Peppa which morphs into My Sharona with the verse of The Buzzcocks' Ever Fallen in Love sang over the baseline to Push It in the middle. Sounds mad but gets everyone up dancing. Edited May 11, 2016 by Maude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upside downer Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 [quote name='PaulGibsonBass' timestamp='1462953965' post='3047143'] Chelsea Dagger. Never fails to get the floor filled, girls bouncing, guys with their pints held aloft. [/quote] Yep, this always has the same response for us too. Also Blitzkrieg Bop gets the balding ex-punks up for a pogo that their calf muscles will regret the next morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubinga5 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 This is a floor filler i used to play with an old band. Its the long intro that teases them. Fabulous record.! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KuavOt7RwCA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raslee Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Playing a lot of 50's/60's stuff in my functions band and these surprisingly still go down well with younger audiences too - Shout (Lulu version!), Tutti Frutti, Shake rattle & roll, and boots....shake your tail feather & proud Mary seem to get the audiences doing collaborative weird dances. Our rendition of the Star Wars Cantina band is always a winner for the band Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvin Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I'm in an Indie Punk Rock band playing all original material currently. We're playing a mates wedding this weekend and we fully expect to clear the wedding venue let alone the dance floor as soon as we start.

sykilz Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 A rocked up Tina Turner overload version of Proud Mary. Women just go mental for it. It's an okay song, but the ladies get very ....loud and loose.....when we start the mellow intro. Ho hum...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
