As the title says - Which songs will get your kids up and dancing?

I dont mean music like The Wheels on the Bus and Wiggles songs etc. I'm after child friendly top 40. I'm a Triple J listener so a bit out of the loop with pop music at the moment...


ETA - For a group of 4-8 year olds.

My kids like mainly One Direction, Justin Bieber...

And anything else that is in the top 40.

They also like MmmBop from Hanson, and some backstreet boys stuff.

This is DS's favourite song and he always dances when he hears it

My 11 month old Loves loves loves that Gangham Style song unfortunately. She's also fond of moves like Jagger but aside from those two she's heard from the older kids i don't listen to much recent music, anything boppy will get her going tho

Edited to add, sorry didnt see your ages

Gangnam style is the rage here too.

My kids' (5 & 7) current favorites are "Smooth Criminal" (the Alien Ant Farm version), "Uprising" (Muse), "Moves Like Jagger" (Maroon 5), "500 Miles" (The Proclaimers), and "Gangnam Style" (PSY). We have music in heavy rotation in the car, and these 5 songs are clearly the most requested.

However, I've just finished burning 20 CDs for my daughter's Year One classmates -- as her little year end holiday treat for them (in lieu of lollies). Since some of the parents have strong feelings against young kids listening to anything with overt sexual references (e.g. "Moves Like Jagger"), I've kept the tunes very G-rated. Retro stuff is very good for this purpose!

A few of the tunes on her summer mix:

* Surfin' USA (The Beach Boys)

* Disco Inferno (The Glee version)

* Walkin' On Sunshine (Katrina & the Waves)

* Twistin' By The Pool (The Dire Straits)

* Vacation (The Go Gos)

* MmmBop (Hanson -- way cooler than Justin Bieber could ever hope to be!)

* What Time Is It (High School Muscial)

* Hot, Hot, Hot (Buster Poindexter)

* Let's Groove (Earth, Wind & Fire)

You get the drift...

DS1 at 5 his favourite song is Bom Bom by Sam and the Womp.

His school even had this at their sports day last week (catholic school) so it is relative PG compared to a lot of other songs.

He likes "Chasing the sun" by The Wanted

Boom Boom by Justice Crew
I like to move it move (Madagascar theme)

Gangnam Style ATM - but you can always rely on a little bit of MJ no matter what time of day or night, DSS will always dance to it.

In our house we currently love"It's always a good time" by Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen.


My 3 yr old was singing Culture Clubs - Karma Chameleon the other day.
