Guilty Pleasures: Songs that make you Dance Around your Living Room in your Pants

Dear reader, this blog post is mostly for me and Yaddy

Here’s my top ten dancing in your pants like no one’s watching anthems (aside from the best song in the world ever) - in no particular order:

1. Baby Got Back - Sir Mix-a-Lot

Nominated by Yaddy - shake it, shake it, shake that healthy butt… You know you want to.

2. Too Shy - Kajagoogoo

Because you wish you had the guts to get a bubble perm for old times sake.

Hey girl! Move a little closer…

3. System Addict - Fivestar

System addict… You’ve got the hardware habit (erm, whatever that might be).

I kinda thought that working for an SEO agency might be like the video… I was wrong, although we do have boxes that go beep, possibly little lights that leap, and we do tap on keyboards. But that’s it.

Computers are smaller now.

Damn you progress.

4. Across 110th Street - Bobby Womack

Reach for that high note. That’s pretty. Your neighbours must love you.

5. Wuthering Heights - Kate Bush

Yes, do the dance. No really, you look good. Seriously, you could have had a career as a contemporary dancer.

6. Prince - Little Red Corvette

Ah Prince, he short… but you still would. It’s Saturday night… I guess that makes it alright.

7. A Town Called Malice - The Jam

Forget that bloody idiot Billy Elliot. Click your fingers and pogo like you mean it.

8. Hounds of Love - The Futureheads

I don’t know what’s good for me.

9. Big Bad Baby Pig Squeal - Silverfish

Scream it with me - HIPS, TITS, LIPS, POWER.

Yeah baby, feels good, huh? I was young once too.

10. Echo Beach - Martha & The Muffins

My job is very boring I’m an office clerk. Man I wish I could play the sax. Quick, someone get me a tambourine.

Well my loves. By now you must have danced your pants off… Tip - close the curtains.

Oh and let me know about your guilty pleasures below.

    The lack of Rick Astley’s ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’ on this list is disheartening!

    Shame on you! *wags finger* SHAME!

    @Will - hey stranger!

    You dance around in your pants to 7 seconds? Like a slow dance? I’m getting Alan Partridge style montages in my head: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOQIMOcEVc4
    *giggles*

    Ace of Base? That’s more like it fella :)

    Although I’d have put money on you picking something more like this:

    Or more likely this:
