Retro Dance Party at the Curtisian

Tonight after dinner I was feeling festive, so I slapped on some 80s retroish dance tunes, mostly from our vinyl collection. It was much fun indeed. I danced through the house to the following (not in order):
That Petrol Emotion- “Genius Move”
Missing Persons- “Words”
Siouxsie and the Banshees- “The Passenger”
The Cult- “She Sells Sanctuary”

dubby dancing

New Order- “Bizarre Love Triangle”
The English Beat- “Mirror in the Bathroom”
The Three O’Clock- “Her Head’s Revolving” (Thanks, Doug!)
The Psychedelic Furs- “Pretty in Pink”
Haircut 100- “Boy Meets Girl (Favourite Shirts)”
A Flock of Seagulls- “Space Age Love Song”
They Might Be Giants- “Don’t Let’s Start”
The Smiths- “This Charming Man” (from the 12″, the Manchester version)
Duran Duran- “Girls on Film”
The Cars- “Shake It Up”

The Cure- “A Japanese Dream”
The Police- “Canary in a Coalmine”
The Pretenders- “The Middle of the Road”
Robyn Hitchcock- “Unsettled”
Clan of Xymox- “A Day” (12″)

Bowie, the B-52’s, Devo, Yaz, The Thompson Twins and many others are waiting in the wings for the next time this urge hits me.
