"Cabbage Alley" by The Meters Soul funk euphoria. Happy good times. Happy glowy. Just a bunch of killer sunshine hooks, lyrics be damned (and fuck full sentences, too). One of the best piano riffs in the whole wide world. Grin from ear to ear.

"Number One" by Playgroup Sexy disco. "I'm the kind of cat who always gets his bird". Super simple bassline, like the Pixies gone all funky. When you dance to this song, you put yr hands up over yr head.

"Young Scene" by Keith Mansfield You can only do the most silly dances to this song - like, you know that one where you pretend you are a submarine? That would be perfect for this. Instrumental orchestral funk. Just over a minute long. Yes!

"Problemmes D'amour" by Alexander Robotnick His name is Alexander fucking ROBOTNICK!. It's electro disco, it has lots of shouted French lyrics, girls cooing along, and lots and lots of synth squiggles... and his name is Alexander ROBOTNICK!

"Let's Go Swimming (version 3)" by Arthur Russell It was written to be a "futuristic summer record" back in the early 80s, and it really does feel like it's from the future... It sounds like the song is simulating what swimming and being underwater is like, while remaining danceable. It's maybe a bit like dancing on the ocean floor...
