Sorry we do Robert Palmer's Bad Case too-cue stampede to the floor!
Another thing we need to do is stop the singer's chat between songs, it just gives people time to wander off the dance floor.

Old School funk from the 1970s, and/or disco hits from the 70s or 80s seems to be the hot button for getting crowds around here up & on their feet:

"Brick House"
"Play That Funky Music"
"Fire"
"Thank You (Fallentinme Be Mice Elf)"
"Give Up The Funk (Tear The Roof Off The Sucker)"
"It's Raining Men"
"Boogie-Oogie-Oogie"
"Grease"
"Lady Marmalade"

At our gig this past Sat night we played White Room. I was surprised that it PACKED
the dance floor.
