Music Suggestions for Series 12?
Has anyone any suggestions as to which music should be used for the 2014 series? I would suggest:-
Cha Cha Cha Dance Away - Roxy Music Casino Royale - Herb Alpert (Down) At The Club - The Drifters Backstabbers - The O'Jays Viennese Waltz South American Getaway - (from "Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid) - this would be great for "Movie" week Spinnin' & Spinnin' - Syreeta Reach Out & Touch (Somebody's Hand) - Diana Ross Foxtrot What The World Needs Now (Is Love) - Dionne Warwick Close To You - The Carpenters Tuxedo Junction - Manhattan Transfer Charleston When I'm Cleaning Windows - George Formby Happy Go Lucky Me - George Formby Jive Land of 1000 Dances - Wilson Pickett Do The Hucklebuck - Coast to Coast We Go Together - (from 'Grease') Salsa Oye Mi Canto - Gloria Estefan I Haven't Stopped Dancing Yet - Gonzalez (Do The) Spanish Hustle - Fatback Band Paso Doble Firedance - (from 'Riverdance') Legend of Xanadu - Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Titch Rodrigo's Guitar Concerto - Manuel & His Music of the Mountains - (I think this could also possibly work for either an AT or Rumba) I was also considering "Speedy Gonzalez" by Pat Boone but was unsure which category this would fit into (Cha Cha Cha/Samba possibly?) Anyone else any suggestions? I'll have a think about a few more. |

Each time I hear the new Sophie Ellis Bextor song I see someone waltzing around the Strictly dance floor to it ! !

I think Happy by Pharrell Williams would fit a Jive.

Rumba
Perhaps perhaps perhaps - doris day spooky - dusty springfield wicked game - chris isaac viennese waltz she's got you - patsy cline danse macabre - saint saens charleston i wanna be like you - jungle book postmodern jukebox's version of thrift shop peppy and george - the artist foxtrot frank sinatra's version of blue moon fly me to the moon - frank sinatra cha cha loca - shakira let's get loud - jennifer lopez (yeah it's been used before but there will NEVER be enough cha cha's to this song.) on the floor - jennifer lopez paso doble espana cani (how does it not crop up at least once every series? there should be more paso's to this) scott and fran's paso doble from strictly ballroom (same with this, i'm sure they've used it before but it's such a great song!) I'd also love to see someone do a jive to you never can tell by chuck berry. Especially during movie week, done up like John Travolta and Uma thurman in pulp fiction. It would just be so delightfully inappropriate for strictly! |

A few suggestions from me (don't think any of these have been done before)
American Smooth
The Four Lads - Istanbul (Not Constantinople) The Smiths - This Charming Man Argentine Tango Sade - Smooth Operator Sheryl Crow - Tomorrow Never Dies Cha Cha Cha Imagination - Music & Lights Charleston Blur - Country House Foxtrot The Chairmen of the Board - Give Me Just A Little More Time Norah Jones - Don't Know Why Jive Alphabeat - 10,000 Nights Sam Cooke - Twistin' The Night Away The Temptations - Get Ready Quickstep Bobby Vee - The Night Has A Thousand Eyes Martha Reeves & The Vandellas - (Love Is Like A) Heat Wave Rumba Céline Dion - Falling Into You Tracy Chapman - Baby Can I Hold You Salsa The Pointer Sisters - Dare Me Samba Carly Simon - Why Kaoma - Lambada Sister Sledge - Thinking Of You Viennese Waltz Bryan Adams - Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman Edwin McCain - I'll Be Waltz Joan Armatrading - Love And Affection Louis Armstrong - We Have All The Time In The World I can't really suggest anything for two of my favourite dances, Paso Doble and Tango! I'll have a think. Generally I would prefer to see these danced to traditional music. |

I also found this. A jive to you never can tell in the style of pulp fiction! And on dancing with the stars, no less. Strictly should go one better and do a dance to stuck in the middle with you enacting THAT scene from reservoir dogs. |

Smooth Operator

I would have thought this more suited to a Cha Cha Cha rather than Argentine Tango
![]() It's always reminded me of 'When Doves Cry' for some reason, which I thought was an inspired choice for Rachel & Vincent's Argentine Tango (and yet seemed unsuited when recycled for Kimberly & Pasha's ballroom Tango). |

Really Angela? I would have thought it was too moody and slow for a Cha Cha Cha, though I must admit that I struggle a bit with time signatures

And then on the other hand you have Mr manic and cheerful Kevin Clifton who danced (and I presume did some/most of the choreography for) an absolute stormer of a paso with Susanna. For loads of people it was the dance of the series, they got great marks, a standing ovation, performed it on the tour etc. There's obviously some real "wtf" moments with the music on strictly but I LOVE it comes together. I never thought I'd describe Rasputin by Boney M as "inspired!" It's kind of worth the odd argentine tango to smooth criminal to have moments like that imo. |

See, I didn't like spectrum as a tango that much, i think the overall sound of it is too graceful and not sharp enough for a tango. I thought that bruno mars song kevin and susanna did a tango to was much more unexpectedly brilliant. i wish they'd stop using you got the love for a paso song as well... it will never work!
I've been listening to tous les memes by stromae a lot lately and could see it as a tango if it was sped up a little bit. i guess the beauty of it being a live band playing is that they can take a song with the right feel and adjust the tempo to make it suitable. some others Viennese Waltz the theme music from harry potter hallelujah nights in white satin kiss from a rose foxtrot after you've gone quickstep that man - caro emerald putting on the ritz some version of tu vuofFa l'americano (maybe like the one from the talented mr ripley.) charleston a little party never killed nobody cha cha blurred lines - robin thicke bounce - iggy azalia groovejet - spiller |

Its cause DWTS have done questionable foxtrots to music I assumed they did one to Roar.The two performances I seen are Australia - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLOOBhY8dvI to Jazz and USA - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2906_UX9eKM to Contemporary So not sure what SCD could use it for. ![]() ![]()

I think it'd be difficult to fit Roar into any of the dances unless it was a showdance. The acoustic versions floating around lend itself to rumba but the original track? Maybe speed it up for a samba.
As for other music suggestions: Charleston: Bad Boy Good Man by Tape Five Cha Cha: I Hate This Part (remix) by PCD ![]() Rumba: The Shadow Of Your Smile - Chuck Brown version |
