Day 9: A Song You Can Dance To

Okay, I have some explaining to do. Yes, this too is a day late, but I have a good reason. I was up late last night studying for a test, so this kind of took a backseat to that. Now today's topic is a song I can dance to. Well here's the thing, I don't really dance. No conviction against it, I just really don't do it. So today what I'm going to define as a song I can dance to is more like a song with an upbeat tempo that gets my foot tappin'. Here's the other thing, it's not going to be just one song. You may have realized by now that I'm bad at keeping it to one song, and looking at the future categories I can say without a doubt that there will be more posts with multiple songs. So here are the songs that get my toes a tappin'!

ABC by The Jackson 5:

When most people talk about loving Michael Jackson music they mean his solo work, but I've always been more of a fan of The Jackson 5. This is in part because I love Motown music, and they were one of the Motown greats. I have loved this song since I was a kid and it never fails to get me tappin' my toes. 

Seems Fine by The Concretes:

Okay, so this is an admittedly weird song by and admittedly weird band. Nobody is denying that here. That being said, I love the tempo of this song. It always gets my toes tappin'. What I really love about the song is not so much the vocal, but the music. The addition of brass instruments to this song was genius. 

Magic by B.o.B. featuring Rivers Cuomo:

This song has a great beat. I really like that about it. I also feel like the lyrics of the song are pretty creative without getting vulgar, which is something I respect in a Hip-Hop/Rap song. I really like Rivers Cuomo's part in the song too. Good collaboration.
