When rock 'n' roll dancers hit the floor for a jive they don't beat around the bush. They get on with it. They need music that does the same. The song Beating Around The Bush by Australian band Jo Jo Zep & The Falcons from 1976 doesn't beat around the bush either.

Song - Psychotic Reaction

Posted by: Gareth   on:  17/10/2013   Category: rock-n-roll-dance-songs

Psychotic Reaction is an interesting track to dance rock 'n' roll to. It has some very awkward up-tempo switches at several points.�You wouldn't ordinarily include it in a playlist for dancing unless you want to catch people out wondering what to do when the music throws them.

Song - No Matter What Shape

Posted by: Gareth   on:  22/10/2013   Category: rock-n-roll-dance-songs

No Matter What Shape (your stomach is in) is a song with a slower rock beat. It's good for triple-step dancing, which doesn't work so well with a fast pace.

Song - My Sharona

Posted by: Gareth   on:  22/10/2013   Category: rock-n-roll-dance-songs

The Knack's My Sharona was a No 1. hit around the world in 1979. It has a strong medium pace beat, which makes it good for rock n roll dance.

Just Like Eddie by Heinz

Posted by: Gareth   on:  30/10/2013   Category: rock-n-roll-dance-songs

If you want a track with a good medium-fast rock n roll beat that captures the atmosphere of the early 1960s, you can't go wrong with Just Like Eddie. Heinz Burt was the bass player for the ill-fated band The Tornados.

Summertime Blues By Eddie Cochran

Posted by: Gareth   on:  30/10/2013   Category: rock-n-roll-dance-songs

It's hard to look past Summertime Blues when you're compiling a list of really great rock n roll dance tracks. Medium-fast pace, very strong beat and a tone that perfectly suits exciting dance - how can you go wrong.

Sunday Girl by Blondie

Posted by: Gareth   on:  30/10/2013   Category: rock-n-roll-dance-songs

Not a bad tune to rock to. Sunday Girl was recorded by Blondie in the late 1970s, so it has a more modern disco sound, yet the beat is unmistakably rock n roll. With a medium-fast tempo, it's a great boogie tune, though not one that's often chosen for rock n roll dance sets.

Holiday Road by Lindsey Buckingham

Posted by: Gareth   on:  01/11/2013   Category: rock-n-roll-dance-songs

Okay, we're here to Rock n Roll Dance, not to pack up the family wagon complete with dead auntie on the roof and head down the Holiday Road with the Griswalds. Lindsey Buckingham's hit song from National Lampoon's Vacation movie can certainly help us with that, but only if you're ready for a fast one!
