Makes you feel like dancing...

I promised a Gratuitous Music Post a little while ago, and here I am, finally. The theme to this one? "Aussie music to dance around the house in your socks by". *grins*

First up we have Mr. Ben Lee. Not usually the dancing sort - he leans towards more the Sunday afternoon music with the meaningful lyrics. But this is a catchy song with a bit of a groove and it's always best to start off slow. Wouldn't want to pull anything now, would we?

Into the Dark, Ben Lee.

Okay, now to kick it up a notch. Slow starting, but if you're patient, you'll see why I picked this one.

Lighthouse by The Waifs.

Now an oldie, but a goodie. When I grow up, I want to be Deborah Conway...

Today I Am A Dasiy, Deborah Conway.

Having fun yet? Here's the Cat Empire to add a little Latin fusion to your day.

How Can I Explain, The Cat Empire.

And to wrap... the Dili Allstars, Melbourne boys from St Kilda. I dare you to sing along to it. *grins*

Nothing Tastes Better Than The Neighbour's Chicken, the Dili Allstars.

Comment if you grab anything, since I'm always curious to see what people think of these posts... Enjoy!

And I really need an Aussie Music Pusher icon... But Calvin and Hobbes also does well for this one. :)

I'm not normally one for Ben Lee, but yeah, that's catchy.

Took 'em all. Will give short report once I finish dl'ing them and listening at work.

I got to "Nothing Tastes Better..." and realized that I needed to listen to all five of these again, over and over.

You MUST get an "Aussie Music Pusher" icon. If I had a .gif animator, I'd do one for you.

*grins* Re the icon: Maybe I should offer incentive? Like a custom-built five-song playlisting...

And I'm glad you enjoyed them. Dancing music is happy music and I think we're all due for some of that. And "Nothing Tastes Better..." is so much fun. I have to restrain myself from dancing to it when I'm on the subway...
