Which is your favorite?
Michael Jackson is on this list, like, nine times. That’s totally tubular, dude. “Valley Girl” is strangely not listed. Our personal favorite “Safety Dance” by Men Without Hats is #50.
We can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
‘Cause your friends don’t dance
And if they don’t dance
Well, they’re no friends of mine
