Hey baby, this gets everybody up and dancing. It is Princess cruise line's theme song.

 

Now, I like The Love Boat theme, but dancing to it?

First time I ver walked out of a concert while they were playing was 1968 I believe seeing Procal Harum in the Fillmore East in 1968 previous bands were great . 

Hopeful not until after they played," A Whiter Shade Of Pale".

Yes did here that one , great song . Wish I had went to more concerts at Fillmore East. It was only open a few years and I was in the army for half of them.

The Fillmore East opened in 1968 and closed in 1971.I have no idea how many concerts I went to there.In 1970 my wife and I went to the Fillmore West.She took a picture of me standing outside.

Just listened to it.  OK, yes, it would get me out of my seat and dancing.  

 

The one that really gets me on the floor is Gloria Gaynor's I Will Survive.

Oh boy, I couldn't agree with you more about YMCA.  That is worn out.   But disco, might be OK.   I'm hitting 70 this year.  "Stayin' Alive" is appealing.   😆

The more senior one becomes, the more Stayin' Alive does appeal.  

 

What's wrong with YMCA?  It's a fun song!  Of course, I can't remember the details, but I recall that someone wrote some different lyrics for this song and it made the song even more fun!

I admit it is a fun song.  If a vote were taken for best party song, it would probably be in the running.   Personally, I can't give a reason but am just kind of over it.

Nothing wring with song, other than it’s not a cruise song, but there was a sailor 😁.

Speaking only for myself, the Village People never put out a song worth listening to including YMCA. But I don't like the majority of disco songs anyway. But to each their own. It's RC's go to song for 70's night and apparently it works for them due to crowd participation. 👎

Even though I never liked disco I have to admit that I liked Stayin Alive ,possibly because the movie Saturday Night Fever took place and was filmed in an area I hung out in although years earlier.

To me YMCA is a form of torture.

I even liked the movie Saturday Night Fever. For me the movies storyline was a lot more than just about disco. My wife loved the movie and has it on DVD. I prefer pre disco Bee Gees.

I prefer pre disco Bee Gees also.Saturday Night Fever was filmed in the Bay Ridge and Bensonhurst sections of Brooklyn,areas that were unique to any other part of NYC.I hung out in both areas in the early to mid 60’s.

It's the participation "angle" that makes the song so attractive to many of us.  It's New Year's Eve.  I am dressed in my tux.  I am a solo.  The band plays YMCA or I Will Survive.  I get on the dance floor as a solo.  The odd stares that I have noticed by some others, particularly other senior male solos, were hard to ignore.  I was enjoying myself.  And, I have found female dancing partners from time to time joining me because their husbands did not dance.

Anything Beach Boys is good listening to me when I am in the mood for such.

Beats me. As long as you like the songs and they help you "shake your groove thing" (Peaches and Herb) and you're having a great time, that's all that matters. ✌️

As one who enjoys Holland America Line, the cruise song that will always stick in my mind is the one sung by the crew at the Farewell Show, "Love in Any Language".  Sadly, it is no longer performed.

Here's one that many won't know, but when I sailed on the Celebrity Silhouette during its inaugural season, they seemed to play this often, upon sailaway....

That song brought tears to many eyes.  And, particularly when a long voyage was coming to an end.
