I may offer some serious suggestions later, but I'm more of a soul / jazz / disco / house guy myself.

It's in English but from a German group so fits in with the post, from 1991-

 

 

Edit : I didn't realise it when I originally posted this but Naar already mentioned this song in his list above.

Well, 73 songs in the playlist for now. 4 hours 56 minutes. :D

I've had this on shuffle for the last 3 hours...even I feel old now :(

 

 

Listened to Stayin' Alive by Bee Gees today while walking around town. God, it's difficult to walk normally when the songs on...couldn't help but snap my fingers, nod my head and smile like a moron :laughing:

Tried not to double post stuff.. Some dance, but I left most disco / soul / classic house / 90s dance out (except for a few, can't help myself). Classic house and 90s dance would be easier for me to suggest though.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That's Rosario Dawson.

 

That's more dance (-related) stuff than I inititally intended, I'll stop now.

Now i cant visit this thread anymore. =[

 

Is there a way to disable youtube embedding? Turning it into a link or something...

Well embedding is supposed to prevent the need to click a link to view, but I've put all those under a spoiler tag.

Find yourself the N-Trance remix, as well as their rendition of Do Ya Think I'm Sexy.

 

I'll be back with more boombastic (there's another) ideas when I get on my PC.

A few other ideas... 1980s:

 

Swing Out Sister - Breakout

Scritti Politti - Wood Beez (Pray Like Aretha Franklin)

 

1990s:

 

Chaka Demus & Pliers - Tease Me

China Black - Searching

Ace of Base - All That She Wants

Take That - Pray

Aswad - Shine

 

(Not sure if reggae's allowed, but they make me feel like the '90s so much.) Those last five really take me back to being 14 or so at the local roller disco!
