"life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it"


Ready For The Floor

by Hot Chip


How the hell do you put that into a dance move?

With s club you can be like

REACH! (then you put your hands up)
FOR THE STARS! (Then you wiggle your fingers to suggest sparkly stars)
FOLLOW YOUR HEARTS DESIRE (Then you point at your heart and pretend you're running after something etc)


You must have been

really fucking bored when you made this thread.


this would have been my suggestion

I commend you on your taste


yep this


soulja boy


^


I only just discovered what "superman that ho" means aswell

just plain lolz (the actions would be great)


i can't listen to that song

ever since i found that out
its so wrong! little kids dance to that... messed up


Franz Ferdinand- Take Me Out

Lots of juicy metaphors


The guy from belle and sebastian hangs around where I live all the time

we've always dreamed of going up to him and singing "TAAAAAAKE ME OUTTTT, TONIIIIIGHT!"

i.e confusing his band for other popular glaswegian band, franz ferdinand, whilst also confusing their song "take me out" for "there is a light that never goes out" by the smiths

It would be probably the most indie and subversive thing you could ever do, ever.
But also probably the gayest.

Agadoo


Surely

that Cha Cha song where he tells you what to do?


andrew wk - party hard

so long as everybody parties hard when they hear it, which they should


^

Pure win.

as any good fitness instructor knows.


keep on moving by five

definately


Mercury Rev

Holes - I wouldn't have even thought of it, but I remember seeing a couple of blokes doing the actions at V '99 back in the day. Moles are actually quite difficult to convey


STEPS

5,6,7,8

slow hands by interpol...

Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger

daft punk

green day basket case

wait for the summer

yeasayer


chemical brothers

Chocolate

by soul control
there is a video of it on you tube


The Time Warp


I apologise for the incorrect construction of the thread title

it should read "best songs for translating literally into dance moves"

The thread states that the dance moves themselves are literal which, of course, they are.


umm

i'm well intrigued now. can someone translate just what soulja boy means when he superman's his ho?? feel free to use euphemism of like, fruits, in place of objects/orifices/movements. thanks!


It describes...

... the action of ejaculating on your partner's back and sticking the sheet to the deposit, so it looks like Superman's cape. Hence, 'Superman that ho'.


haaaaaaaaaaa

haaaaaa maybe i'll ask someone to superman me then hahahahahaha.


sorry

that sounded a bit... insane.


Mr Brightside

Over And Over by The Hot Chips
Come Out 2 Nite by Kenickie ("Take what you can, eat off the man, wear high heels and get a record deal!" Easy peasy.)


Seconded

yup


i can do anything

One Armed Scissor a speciality


'The clapping song' by Shirley Ellis

3 6 9, the goose drank wine... etc.

When drunk, a friend and I acted out the whole of 'Isis' by Bob Dylan in a club in Bath. Pair of dicks we must have seemed.


This:

it's all about the
'boom kah'


Agadoo is good

Superman is better.

Dance on Vaseline by David Byrne is good if you want to throw out your best 'spastic preacher' moves too.


STEAK FOR CHICKEN.

The Moldy Peaches.

Kept me and a friend entertained for a whole 4 hours on a train journey home.

Also see: "Everytime i look for you" Blink 182.


You! Me! Dancing!

Surely.


something like

*points*
*points*
*dances*

brilliant!


flailing limbs! :D

i can't wait to do these moves next time i hear this song when i'm out.


Exactly.

You are my new friend.
