Match Cut Mix Tape Volume 7 - Shake Your Booty

[bac0n]

Spring time is upon us, the weather is starting to warm, and that means its time to get up, shake the dust off your legs and move that ass! You wanna get rid of that baby fat in time for swimsuit weather, right?

So... I'm gonna try something ambitious. What I need from you guys, is to provide me with songs that, when you hear them, you just can't help but get on your feet and start dancing. What I will then do, is take these songs and try to make a continuous DJ set out of them. I'll also release the songs by themselves as a regular mixed tape.

One thing - I'm not really savvy on the file share sites such as bittorrent & the like (I stopped doing that sort of thing with the demise of napster), so I may need some help getting my hands on some of the songs. I'll PM you guys on an individual basis if this is the case.

Who knows - this may be the coolest thing ever, or it may be a colossal failure. Only one way to find out, right? Well, send those songs in, and I'll post them in this initial post in the order in which I receive them.

Note - you may want to listen to the DJ set before looking at the track list. It's fun being surprised!

[Spaceman Spiff]

Beastie Boys - Hey Ladies.

[Kurosawa Fan]

Beck - Mixed Bizness

[D_Davis]

A Paw in My Face, by The Field

Minimalist electronica at some of its finest.

[Kurosawa Fan]

I changed mine. But you hadn't updated the first post yet, so I think I'm safe.

[transmogrifier]

So many to choose from. I may go for:

Frenchy's - Holy Fuck

Alternates:

Do the Whirlwind, Architecture in Helsinki
Yeah (Crass Version), LCD Soundsystem
State of Shock, Mick Jagger and Michael Jackson
Crazy in Love, Beyonce
Let Me Blow Your Mind, Eve
When's the Last Time, Ali ft, Nelly
Gossip Folks, Missy Elliot
It's Like That, Jason Nevins vs. Run DMC

[Derek]

So many to choose from. I may go for:

Frenchy's - Hot Fuck

You mean Holy Fuck? That's a great song, though I think you've come up with a great new band name.

Brain explosion

Prince - I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man

[Derek]

Exuma - "Exuma, The Obeah Man"

This thread's not complete without ribbits and slide whistles.

[Raiders]

"You Got It," Roy Orbison

[SirNewt]

Loud Pipes - Ratatat

[dreamdead]

It's more for quiet dancing than for loud, club dancing, but I submit:
Toad the Wet Sprocket -- Windmills

[Thirdmango]

Oh man going through all my dance music and trying to figure only one out was really tough.

Jurassic 5 -- Swing Set

[D_Davis]

Roisin Murphy -- Off and On

Nice - I almost chose Moloko's Fun For Me.

[Thirdmango]

Had to change it. Gah. Too many choices.

[Spun Lepton]

Justice vs. Simian -- We Are Your Friends

[Sven]

"You Got It," Roy Orbison

Cool story about this song: it was my favorite song as a child, around six.

Next thing I knew, I was a twenty-three-year-old man who knew every single word to every single Electric Light Orchestra song (slight exaggeration, but only slight).

Then, not two or three months ago, I heard it again for the first time in, say, ten years. I said to myself (and to all in the room around me, I believe Thirdmango may've been there, maybe not...) "Hey, this sounds exactly like it was produced by Jeff Lynne." Kristen said "It probably was." It clicked that the two were pals (see: The Traveling Wilburys). I checked online. Sure enough, from the time I was six, I was a die-hard Jeff Lynne fan.

I thought it was a cool instance of interconnectedness.

Can't decide whether to go old skool, tekno, or totally off the wall.


Let's all enjoy this while I contemplate.

Everything that man touches turns to gold.

The Coup: "Ride the Fence'

[Thirdmango]

(and to all in the room around me, I believe Thirdmango may've been there, maybe not...)

Hey, I was there. Now I understand what you meant by that.

[Sven]

Hey, I was there. Now I understand what you meant by that.

You witnessed a profound moment, my friend.

[Lasse]

I had a hard time deciding which song I was going to submit, but decided that one of the only songs that'll get me on the dancefloor regardless of mood, alcohol intake or any other factor, is... Op Til Månen by Hookah. Oh, you're all going to hate this song. :lol:

Empire of the Sun - Half Mast
