We all know how tough it can be to find good dance songs. Songs that are actually on beat and are played at an appropriate tempo. Songs that actually “feel” like a rumba, a tango or a waltz.
As a result, certain “good” songs get played over and over (and over and over) at social dances and competitions.
A good example is “Natural Woman” by Aretha Franklin. It fulfills all the requirements. And besides that, it’s sung by a really, really good singer. What’s not to love?
After approximately 5 billion listens, whenever I hear this song I want to go “natural woman” on the speaker system. (I don’t, of course, but I fantasize about it sometimes.)
I bet that you, my readers, have some similar songs in mind. Songs you wish they’d never play again. Ever. What are they? Let’s create a list.
All She Wants To Do Is Knit 
“Sam” by Olivia Newton John
“Leto Shuffle”
“Phantom of the Opera”
“Abrazame”
And anything by Abba.
La Cumparsita (sp?)
A few years ago I would have added “What is Love” by Haddaway. But no one plays in anymore so I’m slowly becoming less sick of it.
what a very good study.
A friend of mine also contributed the following songs for the list:
“Bette Davis Eyes” and “We Built This City.”
Very nice site!
