Playlist: Dance, Dance

Tonight is DANCE MARATHON AT USC!!! In honor of dancing for 24 hours, I'm making a playlist of GREAT dancing songs for y'all:

1. Copperhead Road by Steve Earler: There's a great line dance that my favorite country western bar does to this song! It's SO easy to learn and everyone knows the dance!

2. Hey! Baby by Bruce Channel: This is one of my favorite songs to shag to! It's got a fun beat and everyone recognizes it. We're even lucky at Gamecock football games when they play this and the whole stadium joins in!

3. Push It by Salt-n-Pepa: Now when you hear this song, don't you IMMEDIATELY think of the dancing scene in Something Borrowed?! I know I always do!!

4. Where Them Girls At by David Guetta, Nicki Minaj, and Flo Rida: Good beats, fun lyrics and totally a GIRLS song!

5. Country Girl (Shake It for Me) by Luke Bryan: I don't know anyone who wasn't groovin' to this song live at the Luke Bryan concert! Shake it we will!

6. Bennie and the Jets by Elton John: Another song that makes me thing of a dancing scene in a movie--27 Dresses this time!

7. Hold Back the Night by The Trammps: Again, another shagging song, but I also love the lyrics in this song. It was even the title of one of my facebook albums!

8. Super Bass by Nicki Minaj: I don't care what anyone says about this--it's a really fun dancing song! It's also a HUGE crowd pleaser!

9. Dancin' In the Moonlight by Toploader: I love this version from "A Walk to Remember" and this makes me want to snag a partner and shuffle around the dance floor!

10. The Way You Look Tonight by Frank Sinatra: This is my last movie dancing scene one! Taken from one of my favorite movies, My Best Friend's Wedding, I love this song for a sweet slow dance!

11. We R Who We R by Ke$ha: Really, any Ke$ha song is a great dancing song! Am I right?

12. Love Done Gone by Billy Currington: This tune has the IDEAL shagging beat and timing! I once heard it called "the happiest sounding sad song ever" on the radio! I shag a little just hearing it!

13. No Hands by Waka Flocka Flame: Anyone who hears this song, HAS to dance to it! ...with no hands!

14. Come Away with Me by Norah Jones: I know a few couples who have used this as their slow dance for their weddings. So sweet I can't get over it!

15. Why Don't We Just Dance by Josh Turner: The title says it all!

Dance With Me

Ever since shag class, I've gotten really into old school dancing music. Whether it's beachy shagging music or jazzy slow dance music, I LOVE listening to it. I have a playlist on my iPod called dancing music that I just envision dancing to like in "My Best Friend's Wedding" (my favorite movie of all time):



Here's my slow dance and shagging playlist:

1. Sway by Michael Buble
2. L-O-V-E by Nat King Cole: Let's all envision the scene in "The Parent Trap" that opens the movie with Elizabeth's dress all flowy...
3. This Old Heart of Mine by The Isley Brothers
4. Wonderful Tonight by Michael Buble featuring Ivan Lins: part of this is in Italian...to die for!
5. The Twist by Chubby Checker
6. Summer Wind by Frank Sinatra
7. Dancin' in the Moonlight by Toploader
8. Baby You've Got What It Takes by Michael Buble
9. Runaround Sue by Dion
10. The Way You Look Tonight by Tony Bennett: In honor of the "My Best Friend's Wedding" scene. I know a few girls who have danced with their Daddyos to this song at their weddings and I get choked up just thinking about it.
11. For Once in My Life by Michael Buble: I'll take Scotty McCreary too for this one!
12. Isn't She Lovely by Stevie Wonder
13. The Way You Look Tonight by Tony Bennett
14. It Will Stand by The Showmen
15. This Magic Moment by Ben King and the Drifters: this one is currently taking the cake for my entire playlist!

Got any playlist additions? Let me know!!
