00:00 What is the best song to get you off your feet and onto the dance floor?
00:07 Fault Loose. Because one of the chords, Fault Loose, you get off and start dancing to it.
00:16 Oh, definitely Dancing Queen. I am a dancing queen.
00:22 So you go to weddings and everything, yeah?
00:24 Oh, God, yeah. Love the weddings. Love it, love it, love it. That's all I can sing.
00:29 Oh, it would be Murder on the Dance Floor from Sophie Ellis Baxter, obviously.
00:35 Oh, now you're putting us on the spot. I do like Sophie Ellis Baxter, Murder on the Dance Floor.
00:42 I love any kind of music. You know, I'm at that age now, I appreciate everything.
00:46 I was at the stage when there was a mod and all that, like, you know what I mean?
00:50 I'm Scooter, Lampretta, Get On Girl, you know, all that.
00:55 Yeah, good question. Probably, well, we've listened to a lot of live music on this trip.
01:00 I kind of like classic rock oldies, like bangers, like Jon Bon Jovi or like something maybe from the '80s or '90s.
01:07 I got fed up with it myself. I like Caribbean Queen.
01:11 And I think that's what gets people off. But you see, once upon a time, I could do the tango, merengue, tango.
01:20 I could do all that. I can't do that anymore, but hey, I hope.
01:25 Well, I can't really disagree with ABBA.
01:28 No, I do not.
01:29 Any ABBA song kind of just gets the whole room going, doesn't it?
01:33 I don't know. What would you sign?
01:35 I don't know. It's probably a bit cliche, but it was just blowing up.
01:37 But Fred again, like just because, I don't know.
01:39 When I first started liking it was during COVID.
01:41 It was when my mum and I were in the kitchen.
01:44 And yeah, but like that just reminds me of, I don't know, happiness.
01:47 And at the time I really wasn't that happy, but yeah, anything like that.
01:50 Dancing Queen, yes. I well remember that when it was out in the charts.
01:55 Because we had a really hot summer, 1976. It didn't rain for about three months.
02:00 I went on holiday. I went up Durham where, as you do.
02:03 I put that on the joke box and it started heaving it down.
02:09 That's why I always remember that. It's pretty good, I think.
02:12 But my favourite, I'm old and I like really old stuff, is Danny and the Junies, Up the Harp.
02:18 The classic rock and roll dancehall. 50s rock and roll dancehall tune.
02:22 Yeah, so I agree that Amber's Dancing Queen is an absolutely fantastic record.
02:26 But for me it's always been loaded by Primal Scream.
02:29 That's an absolute classic if you want to get everyone on the dance floor.
02:32 Everyone jumping up and moving about. That's the one for me.
02:35 What was it called? I want to dance with somebody.
02:39 I can't remember what it's called.
02:41 That's what it's called?
02:43 Yeah, I quite like that one.
02:45 Why would you say that one?
02:47 Because it's got good rhythm and you can move.
02:50 Madison Avenue, Don't Call Me Baby.
02:54 I can't think of one in particular. I don't know.
02:58 What were you dancing to last night?
03:00 I can't remember. I was a bit drunk.
03:03 (laughing)
