[lost-in-nj]

I was going to post a poll but there are so many different types I figured
asking would be better....
Ballroom
Jazz
Rock & Roll
Rap
Country????
Big band
swing
You get my drift :)


Me I dance to Rock and Roll from the late 50's on up...
In the 90's and now its top 40...
i even dance to some rap...
and I LOVE to dance to Rhianna's
Umbrella
and Justin Timberlakes
What goes around comes around


So what do you dance to??
Have you had lessons in anything particular???

In a music mood tonight....

27. my lovely lost...

darkstar that posts on here will know exactly what i am talking about here...

I have spent the last 35 years or so listening to "songs" that typically last 30 minutes each, with guitar jams and musical interplay that truly fascinates me, and I am therefore unable to relate to what normal people such as yourself consider to be good music. It's like it doesn't even touch me emotionally.

I was at a Grateful Dead show in Portland Maine in 1986. The music was so intense that it made my neck hairs stand up. I was located on the floor, and I danced my ass off all night.

My brother-in-law, who came with me on the trip, but did not go to the concert, met me at a hotel bar for a few drinks afterwards. I walked in, basking in the glow from the concert, and there was some lounge singer in there singing "You Light Up My Life", or some similar song.

After this music I had just listening to for 3 hours, then to listen to this lounge singer, well, I started to laugh. And I couldn't stop. I got hysterically giggly, so much so, that I was kindly asked to leave the premises, which I did. True story.

So you see...I'm a lost cause. Pray with me.O8)

[lost-in-nj]

34. Please don't hate me

Please

but I hated the Greatful Dead....

yup..... did not like them at all
ever


sorry

[LeftyFingerPop]

35. Now why would I hate you?

Plenty of people hate the Grateful Dead...I don't hate those people!! :P

16. Check out Zappa's 'Sheik Yerbouti'

Here's the liner note for "Rubber Shirt":


The bass part is extracted from a four track master of a performance from Göteborg, Sweden 1974 which I had Patrick O'Hearn overdub on a medium tempo guitar solo track in 4/4. The notes chosen were more or less specified during the overdub session, and so it was not completely an improvised "bass solo." A year and a half later, the bass track was peeled off the Swedish master and transferred to one track of another studio 24 track master for a slow song in 11/4. The result of this experimental re-synchronization (the same technique was used on the Zoot Allures album in "Friendly Little Finger") is the piece you are listening to. All of the sensitive, interesting interplay between the bass and drums never actually happened... also note the guitar solo section of the song "Yo' Mama" on side four was done the same way.


Now... DANCE, ya polecat!

[LeftyFingerPop]

29. LOL thanks for that...

I will look for it...

I have listened to some Zappa, but not this. Used to listen to the early mother's stuff as a teen.

I had fun this evening tearing apart pallets with a wrecking bar. Seriously, I love any opportunity to use a wrecking bar. :P

23. Here's a link to a site where you can download Hindi music for free

http://www.fmw11.com/music/category/view

When you click "download," at the next screen click on "free members click here to download." You can also check boxes and play the selected songs. Warning - this site (and many like it) have lots of popups.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

21. Is it music? Then I'll dance.

I'll even dance to the motherfucking rap and hip-hop. I just don't dance without about 40 other people around me. :D I used to like to kick up my heels to the Commodores's "Brick House" a fuckload.

I've never tried ballroom dancing (swing, etc.) but I once ran (in a vaguely rhythmic fashion) around and around a room to the tune of "Take Five" at a friend's Sweet Sixteen. Good enough for me. At least I stayed with the swing.

[Oeditpus Rex]

22. Benny Goodman or Glenn Miller

The best dance music EVarrr is Louis Prima's "Sing, Sing, Sing (With a Swing)," performed by Goodman's orchestra with Gene Krupa on drums. (Count Basie's "Jumpin' at the Woodside" rates mention as well.)

For romantic dancing, nothing I've heard beats Miller's "Moonlight Serenade."

[WritingIsMyReligion]

25. Big band/swing is so good to "dance" to.

I don't actually "dance" well, but running around to the beat laughing and swirling around in circles and faux-dipping one's friends to the jazz tunes is real damn fun. :7 Yeah, my friends and I are weird. Whut you gonna do 'bout it?

[lost-in-nj]

30. I know Moonlight Serenade....

and you are correct
great romantic song...


lost

My Mom and Dad had Jazz records...
My dad was a jazz drummer
in the Army and in a band that used to play at a bar....
The funny thing is I never heard the name of the band!!!!
I remember Louis Prima.....

[triguy46]

33. that special music you hear after being in a bar for about 5 hours.

[Zavulon]

36. I hate to admit it, but I don't know how to dance. No clue. None.

Most of the music I listen to is rock-based blues (Foghat, for example); I'm stuck on the same music I liked in the 1970s and have never danced a step in my life.

There has been more than one occasion during which a nice-looking girl asked me to dance and I had to turn her down because I'm too clueless to do it. My one regret is never learning to dance like an adult; I wouldn't really enjoy it because good dance music is nothing that I like, but it sure would have helped socially.

I have a girlfriend now who doesn't like dancing much either, but that's shit luck. Realistically, I should know how even if just to be polite, but I can't do it.

[Xipe Totec]

37. Cumbia

[Nicole]

38. The one you added the ???? to!

Country!

I love dancing to country music because of the variety of dances. Two step, waltz, cotton eyed joe, swing & jitterbug are all danced to country music.

I also like dancing to rock & roll. I have never danced to any of the others you listed.

[SPKrazy]

40. and you like to dance

when i serenade you too :D

:rofl:

:hi:

actually you are running away when you hear me sing ...


in my dreams ;)

[Nicole]

42. Sing it baby!

I'm ready for some serenading. :rofl:

:hi:

P.S. Bring chocolate, wine & flowers with you.

[SPKrazy]

44. ok, i'll be there tomorrow evening

:hug:

[Nicole]

48. You got a boat?

It's flooding here! :scared:

:hug:

[SPKrazy]

50. i'm a good swimmer

are you on the roof?

:hug:

I heard you got in the area you are 18 or so inches of rain.

supposed to be heading here, but nothing like that so far.

be careful

[Nicole]

51. I am too but

I'd rather not swim in muddy water. That red stuff doesn't wash out! :P

I'm not on the roof because my house is on high ground. It's not really that bad here. Yet.

:hug:

[SPKrazy]

52. this is true

it ain't purty

i'd come rescue you though if ya need me too :D

hope you stay high and out of it (I know you aren't dry but no floods for you!)

:pals:

[Roon]

39. There is only one time I dance

and that is when I am tripping balls and dancing at a dead show.

[SPKrazy]

41. only did that once

tripping balls at a dead show

without the dead show, much more than once

but the dead, you are right, induce a dance trance :rofl:

[Roon]

45. So much fun......

I started to go upstairs to dance with the people there...and my friend called out"no dancing on the stairs"....it was so funny.

[Roon]

43. My taste in music is so off, I'll just list who i listen to....

Violent Femmes
Grateful Dead
Belly
Pink Floyd
Wings
Paul with any old stuff that he does
Accept
Judas priest
(homosexual metal)
Yes
Lynard skynard
Neil diamond
sublime
cure (newly added fan)
elton john
mama's and the papas
Thanks to my ex lovers bit torrent habit, i have just about every band you can think of backed up to DVD........which is cool,so my guests can choose from my jukebox.....in and out,in and out....oh, yeah....the who, too......
Wanted to add...Roger Waters...this thread has me browsing through my library....which is a lot

[madrchsod]

46. devo

[stuntcat]

47. everything with a beat

This song's from when I first started clubbing (before the raving :blush: ) and it's still a good dance song I think. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbmjjgTI-uM
Me and my best friend spent almost every weekend in the middles of dancefloors, for the whole 90's almost, now I just dance for the cats sometimes.

[otherlander]

49. TALKING HEADS!!!

"Once in a lifetime" came on the radio after I got back from a bike ride today, and I was dancing around my living room by myself. :blush: There is water at the bottom of the ocean! :headbang:

[SPKrazy]

53. he he!

:shrug:

dancing with myself, oh, billy idol


talking heads rock

and as days go by is a great one too!

:hi:

[MysticalChicken]

66. Talking Heads own.

"Life During Wartime" is my favorite Heads song and is also great to dance to.

[SammyWinstonJack]

54. self delete.............

[MilesColtrane]

57. Make it Funky.

James Brown
Sly and the Family Stone

free your ass and your mind will follow

For the hook up, make it slow, sexy ballads- Nancy Wilson, Sara Vaughn, Billy Holliday, Nat Cole, Johnny Hartman...

[Zookeeper]

58. Yes, James Brown...

or George Clinton/Parliament/Funkadelics. Or a little "Love Rollercoaster" by the Ohio Players?

Ooooh. How about some Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings? (Let's see if you can stay in your chair.. :+)

[AndreaCG]

61. Late 70s-early 80s ska

It's got the greatest beat. Punk, hardcore and "new wave" and "alternative " too.

I can pretty much dance to anything but I don't like most dance music they play in clubs. It's very repetitive. One song sounds like the other beatwise.

[ghostsofgiants]

62. Stuff like this...

[Nikia]

63. Not R&B

Because I don't have the "gift".
I dance to pop techno even though I like other music better.

[TZ]

64. I will dance to anything that has a good beat....

I know lots of types of dancing..ballroom, salsa, swing, country..and since I am well versed in dancing basics, I can learn new stuff quickly. My favorite types of music though are blues/swing for both Jitterbug/East Coast Swing and West Coast Swing, and Salsa along with Country for Two-Step, Waltz, and there is some nice cha-cha music in the tex-mex flavored country.

[MysticalChicken]

65. My ultimate dancing song

Le Tigre's "Hot Topic." I cannot listen to it without dancing.

I usually dance to alternative and indie-rock. Yes, it's possible.

[mentalsolstice]

67. Reggae for me

It just the right speed and tempo.

[My Good Babushka]

68. I like dreamy waltzes

and polkas, and anything "Carpathian flavored" like gypsy music.
