What's the best music for filling a dance floor at a wedding?

In the clip above, Late Late Show host James Corden maintains that it's classics from the 1980s that do it best. Then Lizzo suddenly appears to put his theory to the test.

Cue a 80s v. 2020s dance music riff-off that sees Corden's versions of "You Spin Me Right Round" and "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" going up against Lizzo's renditions of "Watermelon Sugar" and "Butter".

Corden's finally forced to admit defeat, but at least they're able to bond over a "Juice" duet in the end.
