Dance In Your Pants

My dearest friend and co-dependent drinking buddy, Hannah-Bo, posted the other week about the songs that she likes to dance around her living room to, wearing pants and not much else. I mightily enjoyed said blog and thought nothing more of it, for dancing in pants can only be the pass time of someone who does not have logs for legs. However, a gauntlet was thrown: Hannah-Bo demanded my list and seeing that Othona rose so admirably to the challenge, here is my Pant-tastic selection:

1. The song that makes every 'woman of colour' with an arse want to shake it. My boyfriend will blare this from the spare room when he wants to see me as he knows I'll be there shakin' within two bars.



2. A new love this one, it makes me sing and dance like a mental.



3. This one takes me back to university, smoking until stupid o'clock, and screeching like a banshee.



4. I can't describe to you how happy Diana Ross in general makes me and this song is just IT (so long as Hannh-Bo and I can sing along Sing Star-stylee).



5. I heard this song for the first time when I was about 14 on an advert for Beverley Hills 90210 and was instantly captivated. I took me years to find out what the song was called and now I know, I'll never forget. Makes me happy happy.



6. Not strictly a dancing one, but MAN this song changes me as a person. I AM Gladys Knight when this song comes on. Ooooh, *shivers*.



7. I don't know if Vicki reads this blog, but this one is for her. This song was OUR song. We OWNED (sorry Hannah Bo - pwned) this song. The build up at the beginning still gets me excited and I want to run to a dancefloor.



8. This one shames me me but I don't care. I can only do this justice in my living room - no one else ever needs to see me dance to this but Xtina has nuthin' on my ass.



9. This song is just fun and sad at the same time. It makes me feel like summer and I want to strut down the road like I'm cool and I've got it going on. I don't. But when this song comes on I do. A Party-pant essential.



10. I don't know how it does, but this song gives me energy - it comes out of my pores (but in a non-gross or sweaty way) and I can keep dancing even if 2 seconds ago I was on the verge of collapse.
