[SeanMacGabhann]

barry marshall - I was about to say that SMD video wasn't saucy enough - but as with many things in life it's worth persevering with

I have a penchant for Nile Rodgers solo effort "Adventures In The Land Of The Good Groove"

But spookily enough I'm listening to Danny Baker at the mo doing a show on exactly the same topic - he is of the opinion that he doesn't do dancing and I'm inclined to agree. It's best for everyone.

[atila the gooner]

Danny Baker doesn't do dancing because he is a sad fat twat, and he assumes that everbody shares his views.

Jimmy McGriff - The worm

Detroit (or Motown) Spinners - Sweet Thing

[Brendan]

Baggy Trousers

All Shook Up

[Jeremy]

more songs...

Four Tops - Same Old Song

Duran Duran - Planet Earth

Bad Religion - Generator

I am inclined to agree.

There's nothing more fun than having a boogie - I dance on my own in my living room quite often (blinds closed of course!) and there's nowt wrong wi' it!

[SeanMacGabhann]

Atila

I once thought the same - but now find him one of the best broadcasters in the country with a with and intelligence beyond most other presenters.

Plus, calling people fat as an insult isn't very nice

[atila the gooner]

Danny Baker is Fat, it's a fact not an insult. He takes himslef far too seriously for my liking. As for his broadcasting abilities, I'm am not a fan. But hey, we all have an opinion.

Still we are straying from the point.

Four Tops - Turn to stone

Maxine Brown - Little Girl Lost

[Jah Lush]

I don't normally dance but put some old reggae tunes on when I've had a few and it goes straight to my hips and I'll be up on the floor skanking like a pissed old fart at a wedding.
