Need help with a great dance playlist

[donald...really]

I am putting together a playlist for a party and I could really use your help. I want great tunes that you can't help dancing to when you hear them . Looking for songs from the 80s to the present. Some of the songs on the list so far are (if you aren't familiar with them you can go to playlist.com and listen to them):

Total Eclipse of the Heart by Nicki French
Take On Me by Ah-Ha
Wake Me Up Before you Go-Go by Wham
Believe by Cher
Bad Romance by Lady Gaga
The Goonies (Good Enough for Me) by Cindy Lauper
Livin LaVida Loca by Ricky Martin
Beat It by Michael Jackson
Single Ladies by Beyonce
Glamorous Life by Sheila E


Any more suggestions?

Having DJ'd for Dances and House Parties - I know that If you start with Disco Classics - Gloria Gaynor Etc - you get people on the floor - With House Parties you have more options b/c you don't have to a constant beat going...

Donald, I used to live within 20 mins. of Newburyport. Such tiny streets in places!!

You asking for these songs, and reading the replies, just reminds me how little I know of music and especially this kind. Of all the ones listed I think I would recognize about 3

Strange but true story is we hosted a party and invited a friend who brought a friend who had worked with a famous MA band until he needed to get clean and sober so quit the band...at our house this man felt a bit out of place so he wandered over to our CD's and the look on his face We actually had him speak and work with a group we formed for first offenders, but he clearly viewed us as 'odd' !!

 

[wallyb]

Any Janet Jackson.
Most Prince.
Start me up - The stones

 

[ConcKahuna]

That Flo Rida Apple Bottom Jeans song

That's "Low"

All for you (Janet Jackson)

So way back when, I had this roomie who was a pro dancer. One day she was practicing her hip-hop moves, and taught me the entire choreography to that song
