Tonight I’ll dream while I’m in bed when silly thoughts go through my head about the bugs and alphabet and when I wake tomorrow I’ll bet that you and I will walk together again I can tell that we are gonna to be friends Yes I can tell that we are gonna be friends
Recently fell in love (again) with this track from 2003:
And if I catch it coming back my way I’m gonna serve it to you And that aint what you want to hear But thats what I’ll do And the feeling coming from my bones Says find a home
It’s obviously relentlessly subjective and personal, but nevertheless, my list of the most danceable tunes of the 00’s, in no particular order except for the last:
I Kissed a Girl – Katy Perry
Paper Planes – M.I.A.
Rehab – Amy Winehouse
Sexy Back – Justin Timberlake
Ain’t No Other Man – Christina Aguilera
Say Hey (I Love You) – Michael Franti & Spearhead
Le Disko – Shiny Toy Guns
Cobrastyle – Robyn
Calabria 2007 – Enur
And finally,my vote for the best dance track of the decade:
Just missing my list, but still way up there: Cascada, Milky, Kylie Minogue, Justice, The Killers, Lady Gaga, Rihanna (several times!), Avril Lavigne, and the Gorillaz.
I miss the sound of your voice And I miss the rush of your skin And I miss the still of your silence As you breathe out and I breathe in If I could walk on water If I could tell you what’s next I’d make you believe I’d make you forget
This song has a sort of early-80’s Cyndi Lauper feel to it. Which makes sense, because I loved Cyndi Lauper when I was 13.
It’s a cold thing you never know all the ways I tried
It’s a hard thing faking a smile when I feel like I’m falling apart inside
And now you’re gone it’s like an echo in my head
And I remember every word you said
