I think it's the other way round - someone wrote into the Radio Times asking the same question last year and, if I remember correctly, the Strictly producers give each pro a list of 3 (or was it 4?) songs for each dance and the pro (and his celeb) have to choose one. That song is then cut down to the time required.
I remember thinking that, if James and DVO chose Walk Like an Egyptian for their Charleston, then how bad must the other two/three options have been?
