most danceable cocteau twins song?

[Cecropia]

opinions?

[elisa]

Peppermint Pig, hands down. Although I have heard Lorelei in a few goth clubs on occasion, and it always gets me on the dancefloor. Then again, it's extremely rare to hear CT in any club, so I'd dance to Lazy Calm if the DJ played it.

" I'd dance to Lazy Calm if the DJ played it."

haha. id love to see that.

[JohnnyV]

I slam dance to Summerhead

[Gemini]

Summerhead rocks!

And Those Eyes, That Mouth

[Fritter]

Depends just how drunk I really am.

My group once had in our live repertoire a song using the intro of the second track on Treasure (Lorelei?) as the breakbeat - wayyyy before Puff Daddy started doing it!

[dynamine]

i dance to the whole catalogue.tho,orange appled sticks out.

and non-CT='16 days/gathering dust'.

[mike_mhg]

Those Eyes, That Mouth. Although I am knackered by the end.

[bearclaw]

musette & drums which i got played @ bollox club bliss

[Simonp]

Cherry Coloured Funk...when I'm stoned.

[agcu418]

the one with kissed and red in the title:lol:

[plink]

another vote for musette and drums from me

i once heard feathers oar blades used as a backing track for a fashion show when i was a student. that was great, real strutty attitude full stuff, haute couture (sic) and high cheekbones.

[Husky]

i dance and (try to) sing to almost any ct song i love. most of them i wouldn't dance in public, at least not yet. you know, the Patrick Swayze kinda dance.. aka dirty dancing ?

current faves are
Love's Easy Tears, Cico Buff, Cherry Coloured-Funk

[jrlushy]

i pick the spangle maker. helter in l.a. used to play that almost every night.
people would freak out when they heard that & go running to the dance floor. have you ever seen a goth run? it's funy as hell!

[Tinspur]

Multifoiled for me, that jazzy dancebeat and Liz's near scat-like vocals make me wanna do the jitterbug.

[Alternative]

Bluebeard or Heaven or Las Vegas. Summerhead too of course and maybe Iceblink Luck.

[edward]

Wax and Wane, the Pink Opaque version

[elisa]

Now that I think about it, Persephone, too. Gothrockundroll!

Good choice! I would certainly join.

[ottonomy]

A Kissed Out Red Floatboat when I'm drunk and happy.

Persephone when it's dark and there's lots of bumping and sweating.

Seekers Who Are Lovers when someone's in my arms and I can feel her breath on my ears.

[Nanite]

My B-Side nomination Kookaburra

[fornasetti]

Blood Bitch

[rayela]

Squeeze-wax
Pitch The Baby
Ups
In Our Angelhood

[Wildhearts]

There was a Goth/ alternative night called 'Spiders' in London about 10 years that played 'Wax & Wane' for me a couple of times and I danced like a loon, very much a dance floor favourite of mine.
One night as a guest Dj I played 'Musette & Drums' to which one solitary, beautiful couple bespoke in Gothic finery waltzed with wild abandon through dry ice on the dance floor, it was a truly beguiling sight to behold.

Infact, theres a gay alternative night in Vauxhall (London) called Duckie who regularly play 'Iceblink Luck'. They've never played any other Cocteau's track despite many requests but Im not complaining, always a thrill to hear them in a club!

[davespear]

my dancing days are long over (to the likes of the Cocteaus at least) but listening to 'in our angelhood' recently, made me think that it would be a good one to thrash about to:rave:

[elisa]

Good for those old burning windmills, or punch the hobbit.

[Thackeray]

"most danceable CocteauTwins song"...is that an oxymoron or what? Has anyone here been to a CocteauFest in L.A. ? The facts are you don't stop dancing :)

[Quisquose]

BBC Sessions' Wax and Wane makes me want to pop my booty.

If I could do that.
