Justin Timberlake – Can’t Stop The Feeling! (Trolls Soundtrack)

I was going to continue with the funk/disco theme today but we had the Trolls soundtrack on in the car on the way to school this morning and everyone was moving to it. It’s such a Friday kind of tune: Nothing I can see but you when you dance, dance, dance (I can’t stop the […]

The Trammps – Disco Inferno

Disco is such a good option for getting the children up and dancing. Beats that kids can move to and, if you pick right, lyrics that stick in your head. Today we’re looking at Disco Inferno. The one by The Trammps, not the one by 50 Cent. It’s a great song but you’ll be explaining […]

Rose Royce – Car Wash

Do you have a dirty car or just some kiddos with too much wiggle in them? Then either send them out to wash your car or drop this classic disco medley on the turntable (you have one of those, right) and watch the magic happen. It’s a good life lesson to boot: You might not […]

The B-52s – “Rock Lobster”

How could you not like the following lyrics? Here comes a stingray There goes a manta-ray In walked a jelly fish There goes a dog-fish Chased by a cat-fish   Not to mention it’s danceability. Turn it on during the next dance party and see them spin. https://youtu.be/ofkzvM7Skxg Get it: Rock Lobster on iTunes

Afro Celt Sound System – Lovers of Light

Hey, no lyrics to worry about so most of Afro Celt’s stuff is ok. I’m a big fan of Lovers of Light because it’s danceable. I can’t find a great video, but here’s the song: Their more famous song is ‘When You’re Falling” which features Peter Gabriel. It’s nice too and the lyrics work. iTunes: […]

Natalie Merchant – Kind and Generous

You’ve been so kind and generousI don’t know how you keep on givingFor your kindness I’m in debt to youFor your selflessness, my admirationAnd for everything you’ve done Nice song with a lovely voice.

Madonna – Holiday

Let love shineAnd we will findA way to come togetherAnd make things betterWe need a holiday Madonna’s first hit from 1983. Fun, be-boppy and nice lyrics. What’s not to love. Here’s the video, which is only a problem if you find Madonna’s dress from that era a bit too inappropriate. Compared to her future work, […]

Pharrell Williams – Happy

Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth… Obviously, this doesn’t necessarily meet the criteria from the about page – it’s a new song – but come on, this is the perfect song for parents and kids. Words are good and singable, tune is poppy and danceable. It may be the perfect song. […]
