Moonhawk Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 (edited) My "50's Dance Party!" CD has these songs I recommend: At The Hop, Danny & The Juniors Stagger Lee, Lloyd Price Maybe not after listening to lyrics lol Lucille, Lilttle Richard Come Go With Me, Vikings Do you wanna dance, Bobby Sherman Yakety Yak, Coasters Red River Rock, Johnny And the Hurricanes Lilttle Darlin', The Diamonds Tiger, Fabian Same CD also has these songs that would be fun but maybe not the stereotypical "dance party" flavor: Honeycomb, Rodgers Western Movies, The Olympics Party Doll. Buddy Knox Thanks for this post!! Love my afternoon music selection now. (DH is not as thrilled, LOL) Edited February 27, 2019 by Moonhawk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TravelingChris Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 I love this thread! Listening to so many of these songs is doing a wonder thing for my AS (my newest autoimmune condition diagnosed-- which dance is the perfect exercise to help relieve stiffness). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garga Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 (edited) Do you have pandora? I listen to a 50’s station on Pandora while I houseclean. Something about that music makes me move faster when cleaning. If you have Pandora, find a 50’s station and start jotting down the titles.
