Anyone else watch Match of the World Cup last night? Some great early 90s music there... Which leads me to suggest: Unbelievable by EMF. Or, a song that topped the charts in the same week that Unbelievable was released - The KLF's 3am Eternal.

I forgot to request Eye Of The Tiger

On a more cheesy note.... Spandau Ballet's Gold, and Build me up Buttercup.

Oh, and something by Faithless. We come 1 perhaps?

I don't think this counts as work..... said: 'I have a dream' that'I will survive' and so on
Good effort, but you've missed Honeybus' classic "I can't let Maggie go..."

A classic, used by the Fitz Swing Band at the end of every gig for as long as I can remember. It never fails to get everyone up and dancing, even if they've been ignoring the band all night...

Brilliant. Why did I never think of that?

Former CUR presenter Simon Blackburn said: No! Do not have a slow last song - it doesn't work, I've tried it (with the admittedly not slow enough Toploader Dancing in the Moonlight ) (which should be in there as your opening track). Have one of the usual jumping up and down songs... and if you want to be really clever have whatever song the second eight have used earlier that evening (unless it's a hymn, or a slow song, or both).
Last song selection is less to do with tempo and more to do with participation, which is invoked through a combination of ultracheese and danceability (i.e. everyone trying to do the same thing, not anyone being good at dancing - boaties being co-ordinated out of a boat being unthinkable). With the likes of Zorba the Greek or New York, New York you won't go far wrong.

Have we got "Take on me" by A-Ha? No cheesy bop is complete without that.
by dw - Tue 28th May 2002, 12:48pm
L'Amour Toujours is a dance track.

The jump up and down songs are there - more than ever in fact. I confidently predict this is the best bop I've done (not saying much perhaps!).

Sorry, 4 Non Blondes...

(I'll shut up now)

Oh, and Iain, there is no way I am playing DJ Miko. That bastardisation of a good Cranberries song is awful!!
by dw - Tue 28th May 2002, 9:38am
My personal requests are...

L'Amour Toujours - Gigi d'Agostino
Diva - Dana International
My Name Is Frank Butcher

What do people think about Gigi? Last song material?
by Bad Taste - Mon 27th May 2002, 9:41pm
I vote for What's Up by DJ Miko (preferably the original), scatman, and maybe some jamiroquai.

Damn it; i was going to ask for Chaka Demus and Pliers.
Can we have anything by Aaron Carter
Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine (remember them?)
and EVERYTHING by Will Young?
by Simon - Sun 26th May 2002, 9:47pm
Martin, can you set up a voting thing (like on the Schooldisco.com website) so that people can nominate songs and then the rest of us can vote?
by Extra Mature Cheddar - Sun 26th May 2002, 8:24pm
