A place for the discussion of all things not closely related to the sport and its competitive side. (Locked down several times a year during the major championships)
Theme from Shaft-gets their attention
You Can't Sit Down-gives them the rules
Do You Want to Dance-the asking song
Dance with Me- ditto
Land of a Thousand Dances once they are moving
Do you Love Me
Willie and the Hand Jive
Ride Your Pony
The Twist
Cool Jerk
Peggy Sue
At the Hop
Baby Work Out
Later when you switch to the slow grinders start with this for reminders.
Save the Last Dance for Me
Edit to add-I once had The Gentrys-Keep on Dancing with it's false ending recorded over and over for about 20 mins followede by 20 mins of Do You Love Me- The Contours and that false ending.

Joan Osborne doing Heatwave and Bootsy Collins doing both Do You Love Me and Cool Jerk on the Standing in the Shadow of Motown DVD. Second best music-oriented DVD next to Hard Days Night.
"My Sharona"...just kidding..."Gimme Some Lovin" by the Spencer Davis Group
or Chic's "Love Rollercoaster" or "Forget About You" by the Motors or "Tell 'Em I'm Surfin" by the Fantastic Baggies" or "Miserlou" by Dick Dale or...

ooooh - good question - I used to put on those big earmuff headphones and play 'Whole Lotta Love" with that awesome middle interlude (made you feel like you were losing your mind as the music went left to right and then top to bottom!!) - THAT pumped me up before a track meet!
Every May, before our big half Marathon here in Indy, the first thing I do the morning of the race is play " At The Hop" by Danny and the Juniors, full blast.
