Nice list!

(Although you've missed Cell Block Tango from Series 2 )

So I did...put it in the wrong place and then forgot to add it in again. Should be there now.

Thanks for a great idea. What a way to get over the withdrawal symptons over xmas!

Does anyone know the name of the song Aled & Lilia danced their paso to in series 2? I remember seeing the title on the bbc website at the time but I've since forgotten and nobody I know knows what it's called...

Does anytone know who this is by, as I have been searching for ages for a good version of it? Please help?

Frankie Valli sang it. Gloria Gaynor also did a version of it.

Thank you! I have a Frank Sinatra version but I'm not that keen on it at the moment.

Thanks!

Oh and Andy Williams - forgot about his version!!

Just thought I'd add some more that I remember in case anyones interested...

Proud Mary
Respect
Lady Marmalade
Leave Right Now
Chain of Fools
Jump, Jive An' Wail
Great balls of fire
Libertango
Endless Love
Shake your bon bon
Greased Lightning

It's called Malaguena, but there a ton of different versions. I've downloaded about 10 of them. The closest I could find is a version by 101 Strings

wasn't it Andy Williams originally ?

I think it was valli originally in 1967. williams didn't cover it till much later. lauryn hill also did a version as did The Temptations, Diana Ross & the Supremes, Percy Faith, Manic Street Preachers, Sheena Easton, Boys Town Gang, and Muse.

THANK YOU, Stella Street!!! As soon as I saw the title I realised that I have this on a flamenco cd how silly of me, it's been there since before series 2!
But I have managed to download a better, closer version by the Mantovani Orchestra, so thank you x100!!

I'm loving this! I only have to hear a few bars of Great Balls of Fire and I can feel myself shaking my booty Even when I'm driving! Lol!

You're welcome, I'll take a listen to the Mantovani version

Just thought I'd add my two favourites from this series, which I have on my ipod

Tango D'Amour by Vicki Leandros (This is what spoony and Ola danced to on the night they were voted out)

Think - Aretha Franklin (this I think was the boys group dance the week that the girls had their first dance)

Who danced to "jump jive & wail", please? I don't remember this, and its one fo my favourite songs.

Folks - does anyone know if they've posted a list of this year's musical contributions?

Yeah, here it is
