OK so to get the forum motored up, let’s start with some grufty rock records that slam on a dancefloor. I’ve got some to get you going, including this one which I first learnt about from Theo in The Wiseguys. It includes the memorable lyric, “We’ll build a far-out factory; and manufacture harmony.” [![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/djhistory/original/2X/a/aac62da0e801af596e7c43860daf2b4f1a0cfe47.jpeg "Motown: Crystal Mansion "Somebody Oughta' Turn Your Head Around" 45 Rare Earth 5047 1972") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6EU4sEMjso) ---

Here’s Anita Sarawak, who was born in Singapore, but wound up in Las Vegas, with her groovy version of Wild Thing. [![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/djhistory/original/1X/6962f32ae3fc5d1cf4f9d40ccde825fb14f4b1e0.jpeg "Wild Thing") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Bxxf2Rjjro) ---

Buzz Clifford, one-hit wonder with Baby Sittin’ Boogie in 1961, made this swamp-funk banger in 1969.

And bringing us up to date, here’s T Rex impersonator Devendra Banhart with I Feel Just Like A Child (a song title you’d definitely worry about if it was Gary Glitter).

I always found this to be quite groovy - the psychedelic reinvention of Kentish Town 60s mod legends The Action.

James Murphy likes to use Back In Black to roadtest Despacio when they set it up apparently, but this is only time AC/DC really got a groove on… [![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/djhistory/original/1X/9e609f228de3d8e421c63fd0636ee16fa3dd66a9.jpeg "Gone Shootin'") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7XscWqgdzI) ---
