Most danceable Morrissey or Smiths songs?

[ray_afraid]

Some tunes that get me dancing are:

Sing Your Life (KROQ)
Pregnant for the Last Time
the Loop
This Charming Man
Barbarism Begins at Home
How Soon is Now
Headmaster Ritual
Some Girls are Bigger Than Others

I think you have to go for fairly well-known ones to increase the chances of other people getting up and dancing. Something like:

Suedehead
This Charming Man
What difference does it make
Heaven knows I'm miserable now
The boy with the thorn in his side (for Blackpool fans!)
The last of the famous international playboys
something from the last few years

My mates and I had a boogie to Stop me if you think you've heard this one before, last time we went bowling. And I saw a few other people dancing too. They have a pretty democratic juke box policy, they even played the video on the big screen!

Barbarism Begins at Home

It's definitely the "funkiest".

jack the ripper (you can make some free dance to it,hand on heart,passionate face)
btw in an scottish fanzine( from teh early 90ties) i found a quite funny "how to dance to moz records"..must scan it someday..its ..LOOOL
also for slow dances:how soon is now

faster
playboys
barbarism
handsome devil

 

[the judge]

barbarism begins at home.

although at my local club they always play this charming man or panic.

I chose This Charming Man to be played at my Mum's wedding reception a month ago, and that went down well with dancing. I'd advise a fast paced single (e.g. This Charming Man, Panic, William, It Was Really Nothing, The Boy With the Thorn in his Side) unless you want it near the end, in which I'd suggest a slower, more meaningful one, perhaps Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want.

This Charming Man

A wa ha ha ha A wa ha ha ha

 

[PUNKturedBIKE]

We used to get This Charming Man, What Difference Does it Make and William, it was really nothing played a lot in pubs and clubs. I'd dance my socks off to them.

 

[Chileiceman]

I always feel like getting up and dancing for Piccadilly Pallare. Same with Playboys and Handsome Devil. Barbaris Begins at Home is also a good one.

 

[bysshe]

I know I'll be in the minority here, but I rather like "Bengali in Platforms." Whether it's appropriate for a wedding or not. . .

10?
please ignore, nothing to do with thread

 

[herzeleid]

Interesting Drug
November (though the MMOH section is a rhythmic rough ride)
You're Gonna Need

 

[mozzia]

Certain People I Know makes me move..but I wouldn't exactly call it dancing

 

[sistasheila]

spring heeled jim...(the live version,faster beat)

 

[EPbabe]

ASK ME ASK ME ASK ME

 

[the beast]

this charming man is the only one i ever seem to hear at weddings etc.

 

[5am]

With a little bit of vodka they are all danceable.

 

[cossy]

Well at our wedding last month we had

at the church...string quartet playing Please please please let me get what I want (my bride walked up the ailse to this)

signing of the register...quartet played "There is alight that never goes out"

The DJ at the reception played

Panic
This Charming Man
First of the Gang to die
Ask
How soon is now.

The floor was packed

Thanks, guys! Many good ideas here. I think I'm going with "This Charming Man," "Vicar in a Tutu," "Bigmouth Strikes Again," and "The First of the Gang to Die."

Good choices. The best of luck with your wedding.
