Dancing is an addiction. Some nights I will up in the middle of sleeping, my legs twitching, needing to dance to maintain homeostasis. My philosophy is that every songs a dancing song, and that all the world's a stage. Unfortunately for this assignment I can only pick 5 songs to really get me dancing. My playlist is composed of 5 songs as follows:
1.) Dance - Big Sean - This is the perfect beginning to a dance playlist. The word dance is said over 90 times, and the beat of the song can make even the shyest person slide onto the dance floor and shake it. This song gets you pumped up and ready to dance, and really forces the listener to appreciate dance, and love it just as much as Big Sean does.
2.) Call Me Maybe - Carly Rae Jepson - Now that everyone is on the dance floor enjoying themselves, it's time to throw on something for the stereotypical white girls. This song is familiar to everyone age 14-20, and will have the white girls jumping up and down and giggling in no time. It may be an annoying song, but it has to be included in the playlist because no matter how much you dislike the song, you can't help but dance to it.
3.) Pursuit of Happiness (Steve Akoi Dance Remix) - Kid Cudi - Not a very popular song for day to day listening, but certainly a must-have for any dance party. You are able to hear the bass in this song in your soul. I guarantee that you will release adrenalin if you dance to this song.
4.) Thriller - Michael Jackson - A classic dance song. Revolutionary for its time the choreography for this song is easy to pick up, and is satisfying when you pair the dance with the song. This song had to be included not only for its brilliance, but also for its impact on modern dancing.
5.) I Gotta Feeling - Black Eyed Peas - Tons of other songs are better dance songs than this one, but as a closing song for a dance playlist, this seems like the smartest choice. This song is has a fairly simple beat, not as complex a song as previous ones. The tempo is a little slower, but still fast enough to go crazy on the floor. The ending of the song also gives a feeling of final closure, and you are able to feel okay with the playlist being over.
