Our music writer Amber Carnegie has created a playlist to get you moving, give it a listen and let us know what you think!
We are all guilty of loving those tracks that get us moving. I can’t resist a catchy chorus or something I can wield my leg as a pretend guitar to. So no apologies if this gets your feet tapping or if it makes you question your dance moves but hopefully as these playlists pick up you’ll be engrossed in throwback tracks or something you may have never listened to before.
The Dillinger Escape Plan – Milk Lizard
The Dillinger Escape Plan were kind enough to come to the UK to play two festivals over my birthday this year so I cannot help but picture myself dancing around in a field as soon as the jazzy intro kicks in. Regardless of my questionable moves when their labyrinth of riffs pick up.
Billy Joel – We Didn’t Start The Fire
If you are familiar with the American version of The Office then you will agree when I say when anything goes wrong in my life I can fit the blame into the lyrics of this song. There isn’t a better way to get over something rubbish happening.
Every Time I Die – We’rewolf
What gets you dancing more than a cowbell?
The Ghost Of A Thousand – Knees, Toes, Teeth
Every Birthday and Christmas I wish for this band to reform but as it’s yet to happen I’ll probably just continue to get my hopes up every time I hear this song start up.
Four Year Strong – Wasting Time
As cheesy as it is this is ‘my jam’ I cannot believe I just typed it – but it’s true.
Jason Derulo – Trumpets
I’d love it if someone felt the same way about me as Jason Derulo does in this song… or if they at least came with a marching band.
Frank Turner – Photosynthesis
Do you have a song that makes you dance like an idiot but it’s so good you couldn’t care less? This is that song. When the club lights come on and your spinning in circles with your best friend singing ‘I won’t grow up’ there isn’t a better way I could think of ending a night out.
