Actually, this version of Roar by Vintage Motown isn't too bad for a quickstep. (Prefer it to the original to be honest)

I've had a few thoughts! And finally found a pop song I reckon you could have a stab at doing a decent paso doble to.
Samba, Girl Just Wanna Have Fun - Cyndi Lauper Tango/AT, Tous les Memes - Stromae Paso Doble, Americano - Lady Gaga I also think you could maybe do a jive to pon de replay by rihanna. And has anyone ever done a cha cha to mucho mambo (sway)? It seems like such an obvious choice it MUST have been used on strictly. |

Cha Cha/Salsa - "Dance With Me (Club Mix)" by Debelah Morgan (the original was used for John & Nicole's Tango back in s5) Argentine Tango - "Whatever Lola Wants" by Gotan Project Jive - "Caramelldansen" by Caramell (might be a bit fast but I'd like to see them try it )Quickstep/Charleston - "Ma I Miss Your Apple Pie" by Sam Browne Foxtrot - "I Won't Come In While He's There" by Jim Reeves Cha Cha Cha - "Hollywood" by Madonna Rumba - "Nothing Hurts Like Love" or "Never Gonna Leave Your Side" by Daniel Bedingfield |

I think we're definitely going to get a Jive to Happy by Pharrell.

This Old Heart of Mine (Is Weak for You) by the Isley Brothers would be nice to dance to. Too slow for a Jive but maybe make a good Quickstep?

Bond free ?
Can we please have a Bond free year ??
I am a huge fan of John Barry's work - but the Bond stuff keeps getting crow-barred in - usually as some wacky "Theme" (Mark's "Blofeld" Rumba still gives me nightmares). John Barry did fantastic other stuff. The Persuaders Born Free Midnight Cowboy amongst many others. What about a Bee Gees night ? So many huge songs by the Gibb Brothers for them and other people. |

I'd also like to see two duets that did well this past year or so used: Pink and Nate Ruess "Just Give Me a Reason" for the rumba (the drum beats used as it gets going would I'd like to think satisfy those who like to see traditional music used,and lift it above just offering the pace of the usual ballads) and Great Big World/Christina Aguilera "Say Something" for a (admittedly slow and subdued) VW. I'd also like to see a McFly song used for a Foxtrot, namely "Love is Easy" which I always thought would be a bigger hit than it was when released in 2012. |

If they are going to do any more theme weeks I would love it if they did one featuring music from the 1940s (i.e. Glenn Miller etc). Maybe they could have the guys dressed in officers' uniforms like they had in one of the professionals' group performances a few years ago?

Keep the suggestions coming!
Some great suggestions above - it's been fun to discover some new music! Hope the BBC producers read DS message boards, so we can have some better music choices in 2014 (there were some real hummers last season, as well as a few highlights).
I'd love to see a Charleston danced to Ginger Bread Man by Dirty Honkers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Iy36Rug2Bw Does anyone think they are beginning to struggle with finding Hallowe'en themed songs? |
