In the video above of “Single Ladies,” she sings, “Don’t make me sing this part of the song, the lyrics are so bad, so we’re going to skip ahead to the single ladies part instead.” Loved it!

@mischiefmanager, he does indeed both rule and still play with them. I love him.

This is tot-ally dated, but I love Stevie Wonder’s Sir Duke. (It’s gotta be the original, though, with those amazing horns.) That song always gets me off the computer and excited to head out.

I like a lot of Top 40 stuff (T-Pain!!!) and remixes of Top 40 stuff (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMo5xY4EyZQ) but in the interests of a wider audience, I suggest Bollywood music, especially the following:

My dad turned me on to this duo called Rodrigo y Gabriela, who have an awesome upbeat song called Tamacun: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=polSjiYQf68

And, just for you, Becky: Amanda at The Sexist posted this today and I’ve listened to it like 10 times so far: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s75WIkQBYzk

I like Prince’s “Seven.”

But also, all Prince, ever.

I also really like 90s music. I have a “Dancey Dancey” playlist that I occasionally listen to that includes such hits as “Da Dip,” “Caress me Down,” “Where My Girls At,” and lots of TLC, Salt n Peppa, and Aaliyah.

This is my favorite Aaliyah, even though most people find the crying baby in the background really creepy.

I really enjoy Sublime.

And I like 90s angry girl music, like “You Oughta Know.” I find that it energizes me, and also prepares me to Be The Bitch that I inevitably need to be (if I’m going out to bars where there will be Men who Want To Talk To Me).

Oh boy, I hope all these embeddings work.

@emilyanne: Richard Thompson rules! I know he’s not been in the band for a very long time, but he does do an occasional gig with them, doesn’t he?

@JD: Our getting-ready music would consist of the following:

Sexy motherfucker shaking that ass!
Shaking that ass!
Shaking that ass!
(horns)
Sexy motherfucker shaking that ass!
Shaking that ass!
Shaking that ass!

Sadly I no longer get to go out so have no idea what music I would play…

Only joking although equally sadly I’m currently spending a lot of time getting ready to go out to Fairport Convention because personally I find that nothing says I’m going to have a wild and crazy time tonight like a bunch of old electro-folk English hippies from the sixties. But that’s probably just me.
