I could have populated this list with a number of songs by
Everything But The Girl (possibly
Apron Strings or maybe
Mirrorball or
Flipside) but I'm going to go for one of
Tracey Thorn's solo offerings,
Raise The Roof (off her 2007 album
Out Of The Woods). Again, she could have featured more than once on this list - I have an intense love for
Too Happy, the song that closed her short-but-sweet debut solo 1982 album
A Distant Shore.
But I've chosen this one because of its instantaneous impact, the infectious beat and the (as always) gorgeous singing - it's got it all really. A song that guarantees I'll be dancing round the kitchen. Play it loud!
Put the music on
put the music on
put the music on
they all wanna dance....
And you do it with love!
I guess I ought to apologise to the kitchen.
