You know something like Tunak Tunak Tun where you got videos like this

For me, it would be Karadeniz Horon Kemençe

        Psy’s music video for “Gentleman” is also really good.

    This song has been in heavy rotation for literally decades on both my “workout” playlist and my “thinking and programming” playlist. 100% true: I have gotten dates with attractive girls because they were intrigued by what I was listening to (this song).

    Govinda, Jaya Jaya

      Yessss Kula Shaker! I’m so upset I had the chance to see them live exactly once, and I was so drunk (stupidly because of a girl) that I don’t remember any of it. Big big life regret. :(

    French rock song ‘jen perlerai au diable’ by johnny hallyday.

    You can feel it in your bones.

    https://youtu.be/CobeBZNlR8E

    Edit: OK this isnt the kind of dance songs you’re looking for.

    Although if you want punjabi dance songs like tunak tunak tun, I can recommend a few (although its not a foreign language to me).

    Not exactly yelling or dancing, but I cycle a lot and when Burning by Hitsujibungaku comes on I pedal way harder and will usually beat my personal best for the segment that I’m riding.

    It’s the outro to season 2 of Oshi no Ko which is a fantastic show by the way.

    Most songs from heilung. I love alfadirhaiti, anoana, and in maidjan krisgaldr is also amazing, othan. Live versions imo are waay better than recorded versions.

    Another one from a different band, wardruna, helvegen with aurora is amazing.

    Here’s two Punjabi style songs that are very dance along able. Used as wedding dance songs here. If you like tunak tunak, you’ll like these. Although these are more produced than tunak tunak

    What is the thread without Dragostea din tei.

      100%. My jam is 90s grunge, but anyone who doesn’t think Dragostea din tie is an absolute banger doesn’t really have a soul.

      I wanted to thank you. I was laying in bed depressed as fuck and I saw your comment and remembered how much I used to love that song. I discovered it on YouTube back when I was a kid. I listened to it probably a hundred times back then. I listened twice after seeing your comment. Thanks for reminding me of an actually happy memory. Truly a timeless and beautiful song. The English version isn’t bad either.

        I’m glad I could bring back a happy memory for you.

        I’m sorry to hear that you’ve been struggling with depression, I know it’s different for everyone but I can relate and wouldn’t wish that torture on my worst enemy. I hope you’re able to find the support that you need, and can break out of that horrible situation.

        Please feel free to message me if you need someone to talk to.
