"Shine a Light" - Wolf Parade.
Most Wolf Parade makes me want to move. I've been known to put Shine a Light on repeat and madly dance around to it. And I don't randomly dance around often. I also want to base a book on it but that's another story! "You know our hearts beat time out very slowly/You know our hearts beat time/They're waiting for something that'll never arrive." It reads as depressing but with the music it's kind of an...upbeat depression.
"Fire Eye'd Boy" - Broken Social Scene.
Another good mover. With a fun chorus to sing along to. "Fire eye'd boy give 'em all the slip..."
"In These Shoes" - the late, lamented Kirsty MacColl.
Has some (mangled) Spanish in it too! Plus, it really is about shoes! Doubleplusgood.
"Don't Save Us from the Flames" - M83.
Most M83 makes me want to move.
"Float On" - Modest Mouse.
I liken it to theme to Shine a Light but the message is a bit more upbeat.
Except for the unfortunate link in my brain of "we all float" with the Stephen King book "It." "All right, don't worry, even if things end up a bit too heavy, we'll all float on." - In a beat-by-beat near-chant.
J-pop makes me move too.
"Zankoku na Tenshi no Teize" from Addition (an anime?) is nice. So is lots of Shiina Ringo.
"I want your body, need your body, long as you got me you won't need nobody" & "I know you ain't never had a man like that, to buy you anything your heart desires like that"... Yeah thats right, boo. ha ha.
