    Who likes Rock The Boat? I love it, but it seems not everybody does. Nothing like sitting on a sticky floor waving your arms about flailingly to get the juices rolling.:)

    DJs who play GAA club wedding/communion/21st parties have the easiest job in the world, play the same godawful sh1te that every other party in the same vein has had. Grease, ABBA megamix, whatever novelty song is popular at the time, more ABBA, bonus points for awfulness if Sweet Caroline and New York New York are played.

    This!


    Btw - the last wedding I was at where they played Rock the Boat, one of the ladies had one if hers 'pop out'. No one told her until the song was over. She looked like she was enjoying herself so all left her to it :)

    The only bad thing about it is trying to do it in a skirt/dress which is usually the case....especially if you're not wearing tights/leggings.

    I don't mind the song itself but every time people do that fúcking dance I want the ground to open up and swallow them all. :mad: My boat shall remain unrocked, thank you very much.

    But if we're picking disco music, I submit the following for your boogieing consideration:

    I don't know how but I managed to escape this phenomenon until just acouple of years ago. I'd heard the song but had no idea that there was a sit-down dance to it and was utterly bemused and bewildered at seeing people I've known and socialised with all my life all sitting down and rowing and clapping in unison. :D

    I have never rocked the boat.

    I won a dance comp's under 16's regional final with a partner called Dennis for our unforgettable cha-cha to this tune. My face ached from fake-smiling.

    Was exactly like winning an Oscar, but without the Statuette, fame, fortune, money, recognition, allocades, or respect. And Dennis hated me.

    I dreamed last night I got on the boat to heaven
    And by some chance I had brought my dice along
    And there I stood
    And I hollered "Someone save me"
    But the passengers, they knew right from wrong...

    What do you people say to this?

    Looks like fun. I don't ever remember doing this here in Canada so I don't think we did. I do recall a stand up version of a dance to Rock The Boat.
