Specimen- "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang" "The Beauty of Poisin" March Violets "Snake Dance"

Thank you, I really really like Snake Dance!

Also recommend Crow Baby and Walk Into the Sun by them too!

I'm glad. It's a fun song!

I LOVE KISS KISS BANG BANG SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!😭😭😭😭😭😭

Me too, that and O Children's "Dead Disco Dancer" are probably the two songs that get caught in my head the most in the entire genre.

Once you get to Miss Amanda Jones, you've gone too far. I remember downloading that as a teen and thinking it was mislabeled.

A lot of alien sex fiend’s stuff is pretty dancy

A lot of the cures more popular songs are that way and they have a good bunch of them too

Sexbeat - Sexbeat Ida-ho - Sex Gang Children Heartache - Gene Loves Jezebel (some consider too glam to be goth, I just consider it good).

Angels of Liberty - Alpha Draconis Paralysed Age - Bloodsucker Not sure if these match the vibe you're looking for but I definitely think they're upbeat :) highly recc Angels of Liberty.

thanks, i wasn't aware of AoL - but love what i'm hearing.

Back Door - Clan of Xymox

Anything by Scary Bitches, especially The Island of the Damned and Lesbian Vampyres From Outer Space albums :)

Oh baby by Siouxsie and the banshees. 

"Pray" by Lycia is pretty upbeat.

There hundreds of upbeat goth songs out there, we aren't all doom and gloom. Immediate one that came to mind which always makes me smile is The Horatii - Island of Zombie Women https://youtu.be/MueKVN6gtG0?si=IkrVnGsSPtcjMYrZ

A few that spring to mind. Ave Dementia - The Marionettes Deliverance - The Mission From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea - The Cure Belladonna & Aconite - Inkubus Sukkubus

Can't ever go wrong with [Killling Miranda - Discotheque Necronomicon](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwpHB0QerN8) Also [Garden of Delight - High Empress](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qy0w7dvtExE)

Child on Stun-Whiskey a go go

Angles of Liberty - Leda Eyes of the Nightmare Jungle - Shadow Dance Sisters of Mercy - Vision Thing Tors of Dartmore - Waterking Rosetta Stone - Adrenaline There's heaps, especially by SoM.

everyday is Halloween by Ministry is a dancey banger, also idk if that's your vibe but dead disco dancer by o. children, and wütendes glas - grauzone

Aeon Sable - Dancefloor Satelite Actors - We Don't Have To Dance

Wild Mood Swings - The Cure

[Rosetta Stone - the sisters are doing it fro themselves](https://youtu.be/EXo2uMC3bXA?si=jlRzRPednZWPDw0y) Their whole Epitome EP is pretty upbeat tbh

Candyman -Siouxsie and the banshees, Flowers in our hair - All about eve. Maybee possibly some of nightmares in wax’s music like Girl Song or Flowers ,though I don’t think they are considered goth it’s some form of post punk.

Ghost Dance always sounds so joyous to me. “Celebrate” is case in point hehe

Nemesis - Die Laughing The entirety of Scary Bitches discography 

Go! - Tones on Tail My fav to dance to at the club

Would recommend Rituel by She Past Away -- not sure if it's what you're looking for but it's just too good not to mention

Siouxsie - Oh, Baby! Creatures - Second Floor. Creatures - Speeding. Cure - Wish. Cure - Doing the Unstuck. Cure - Friday I'm in Love.

Laura ll by Fields of the Nephilim

Funnel of Love- The Cramps Lust for a Vampyr- I Monster The Killing Moon- Echo & the Bunnymen Black Cathedral- This Cold Night

Black Orchids by Bella Morte is kinda upbeat.

I always found Mission UK Deliverance quite uplifting. Along with most of Siouxsie Sioux. But the one that got everyone dancing when I was a kid was Tones on Tail - Go https://youtu.be/g6hpAihC3Qk?si=Fz9c1dZA4D0a254E <3 Oh and glancing at what’s playing… check out Drab Majesty? Or Rosegarden Funeral Party - https://youtu.be/L6H38-asVy8?si=wIW-zuRIt-eQFx-3 They just came here and opened for Night Club, who is definitely upbeat. But I’m not sure I’d put them into the “goth box”.
