Nice choice, bouncy and fun. I'd give it a go!

If it's the one to which they dance at the end (where the music dies down and they start dancing to handclaps ...) then it was composed for the film. Believe it's called Strictly Paso Music and Karen and Mark snaffled it for their Paso this series.

Thanks, thats the one I was thinking of!Hadn't realised Karen and Mark used it but I just watched it back and I think firstly I was distracted by the capes and then it doesn't seem like the band played it very well, so that's my excuse for not noticing!!

I've always wanted to be able to dance properly to Come On Eileen and (since seeing the movie of Billy Elliott) the Jam's Town Called Malice. However, not being any kind of dance buff, I wouldn't know what kind of dances they'd go to - if any!

Lol what could they use the macarena for?

I don't know why but I'd love to hear soomeone use the Kooks- She Moves in her own way. I don't know why.

Whoever suggested the Candyman song I agree, it'd make a fabulous Jive

Macarena would be used for samba. Seen it done in comps...hate it with a passion.

The band messed it up in the middle and it was pretty awful. It's not actually a true Paso, but I do love that piece of music myself.

At a push, you could dance a Cha Cha to Come on Eileen. But it lacks the punch and staccato rhythmns of a properly composed bit of Cha Cha music.

Town Called Malice would be a very fast Jive - you'd need lots of energy and stamina to get all the way through!!!.

Thanks for that. Maybe I'll work my way up to it slowly!

On week one of SCD Series Three, Colin Jackson and Erin Boag danced Cha Cha to Save the Last Dance. I loved watching Colin's debut of his trademark snake hips!

Andrew and Hannah - I just watched it but not clever enough to work out which dance it was

thanks cymru girl and estilo

I think Colin's cha cha cha was probably in the one episode I missed last year.

I love that song, just makes me want to jump up and dance along
