Ah! And you don't have T Rex "I like to boogie" which makes my feet twitch. As do all the rock n roll numbers from Chuck Berry et al.
A mixture of catchy rhythms and smoochy numbers plus the mandatory waltz! Pete and I used to dance round the kitchen while the pasta was cooking. We both loved rock .
