Putting aside the slow dances at the end of the disco...(the ones where I'd spend forever summoning up the courage to ask someone to dance and either the record would end just as I did or they'd say no  )..
..the ones guaranteed to get me and my mates on the dancefloor were the Two Tone/punk/new wave ones that the DJ would be badgered to play by all the lads (as an antidote to the disco anthems usually being played)
Particular ones that stick in the memory:
Into The Valley - The Skids
Too Much Too Young - The Specials
One Step Beyond and The Prince - Madness
Eton Rifles - The Jam |

Sadly, my school discos were after disco, but if I can throw in
Candi Staton : Nights on Broadway
Odyssey : Native New Yorker
Rose Royce : Is it love you're after
Hi Gloss : You'll never know
I'll be a happy bunny |

"Star Trekkers across the universe.
Not sure of the official name but it got quicker and quicker.
There's life Jim but not as we know it, not as we know it - that song."
That was "Star Trekking" by The Firm....

It was probably just before 'The Time Warp' - it's just a jump to the left and then something else.
My memory is shit, in this instance I'm quite grateful.
I hated school discos, I was the geeky one off The In between er doing skids across the school hall |

"The last time I remember being at a school disco I was about 7 years old and we weren't so much dancing, as running about and knee sliding to Superman by Black Lace "
 You were there too?!  |

Band of gold - Freda Payne.
No idea why DJ's in the 80s insisted on this at every disco. Not keen on the song but it was a staple at every one I went to! |

Yes, I was the one in the Incredible Hulk t-shirt. I think it was the last time I was on a dance floor as well! |

This'll age me but I get a Pavlovian reaction of extreme nausea when I hear Three Times a Lady by the Commodores because it was playing when I was literally dragged across the dance floor by so called friends and forcibly shoved in the direction of the most revolting boy in my class. Totally mortifying when you're 13 and utterly petrified of boys ... |

 It's funny you should mention the Pavlovian reaction because I get this weird feeling whenever I hear Superman by Black Lace. That riff that runs through the song sort of freaks me out when I hear it. It takes me back to this weird place which I don't particularly like...right, I'm off to ring my psychiatrist. |

Ha ha, I feel the same. Was the slow dance that was always rolled out at our discos as well x |

Further to my earlier post Into The Valley by The Skids has just randomly played on my iPod and transported me right back to that windmilling arms, legs kicking dance we did to it in my school hall
Heady days indeed |
