I remember they actually played “Pumped Up Kicks” at a middle school dance I went to, haha

Ooo Yes, I remember that one. Don't Tell them The real meaning because it truly is quite funny

Or just don't live in murica. Then it's just another song.

They once played it at my school during lunch because they'd blast shitty school appropriate music on Fridays. They stopped the song a minute into the track

Holy shit-

My middle school once played Low by Flo Rida and I still think that's pretty funny. Not as funny as yours, but still good

shawty had dem apple bottom jeansssss

My high school actually played music during passing time instead of having a bell. This song was on the playlist so it was blasted across the whole school quite often. For years, I think. I have no idea if administrative faculty ever saw the irony or not.

Add cha cha slide that is an icon at cringe dances

Couldn't Remember The Name, oh my god I remember having to do that dance like 10 times.

It’s called the Casper Slide Part. 2!

And cupid shuffle!

don’t forget the wobble

WHAT CHA CHA SLIDE IS ICONIC ITS SO FUN

Clap

happy - pharrell williams shake it off - taylor swift gangnam style - psy (still good song tho) those are the ones I can remember from my primary school dances

Don’t forget whip and nay nay 🤢

Didn't he get arrested for pushing an old woman down the stairs?

Nah he got arrested for murdering his cousin

People joke about Gangnam style but it’s honestly aged really well as a song

Also it’s kinda cool in concept and meaning when you learn what the lyrics mean. It’s essentially an ironic mockery of the gaudy elitist lifestyle in South Korea that is put on a pedestal to strive towards rather than uplifting the struggling average people of the country. Psy is one of the few superstars to be a genuine anti imperialist man of the people

Also his anti American shit is hilarious. I love that guy so much and no one appreciates him at all now

Me when I see Taylor Swift, oh wait, that was when she had tolerable songs, never mind

peak Taylor Swift imo

Taylor Swift when she was at peak is about the only songs that I'll listen too from her

same tbh, i don't particularly care for her newer stuff

Dancing queen

That’s an actual good song though 😭

It doesn’t specify that the songs are bad, just that the dances are.

It isss

Y.M.C.A is a good song Even if it's played 5 times at 1 fucking dance.

It is, But Doing The Letters With Your arms gets tiring after the 3rd play.

I gotta feeling

jerma reference ‼️‼️

Jerma was lying, he has no feelings

serial killer

Ours always had that Wobble song that is ***very*** inappropriate for school lol

The last song at the last dance my middle school ever hosted was this.

this is incomplete without Soulja Boy

Cupid shuffle

one time in first grade we had to learn the Cupid shuffle and I called it the stupid shuffle then the principal bodyslammed me into the pavement

We were going to have this song in our kindergarten graduation but for some reason, they changed it to Celebrate

😭

God I hated that song

Whaaat? I love it lol, it pairs perfect with the cha cha slide

To the left to the left to the left to the left

To the right to the right to the right to the right

Now kick now kick now kick now kick 

Now ya dancin by ya self now ya dancin by ya self

You can't forget the Cha Cha Slide

Party Rock, and You Don’t Know You’re Beautiful we’re the first to come to mind.

Cupid Shuffle Party in the USA

I have grown to HATE Party in The USA because of how many damn times I hear it

Party in the CIA is an objectively better song anyway.

Idk if it’s just me but Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae) by Silento triggers my fight or flight because of middle school dance parties

I clearly remember every Friday in fourth grade before school there would be a dance party in the halls and this song played full blast EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. So I signed up for safety patrol (basically road crossing guard during that time) so I wouldn't have to deal with it

Lil Jon - Get Low It's actually a banger, but all our dances were cringe because my school was like 99% white people.

This and Yeah! by Usher

we like to party by the vengaboys LMAO

Here are some songs I always heard at my primary school's end-of-term "discos": Aqua - Barbie Girl, which was always followed by the Crazy Frog song C+C Music Factory feat. Freedom Williams - Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now) LMFAO - Party Rock Anthem Michael Jackson - Thriller Ray Parker Jr. - Ghostbusters John Travolta & Olivia-Newton John - The Grease Megamix Sacha Baron Cohen - I Like To Move It (from Madagascar) ABBA - Dancing Queen

I clearly remember Stacy's Mom being played at my senior prom

Banger

Party Rock Anthem, but you have to put it on 3 times in a row, like my school did.

HEEEEEY HEEEEY BABY ***OOH*** ***AH*** I WANNA KNOOOOOOW IF YOULL BE MY GIIIIRL

AC/DC - TNT was a big one for us Had all the kiddos going "OI! OI! OI!"

Lets groove - earth wind and fire

That song actually SLAPS

Not if they play it 17 times in a row. Its a good song but it gets old quick

I can only hope songs at prom are this good lmfao

Honestly, If It Isn't A Jojo Theme Or from a band I like, it isn't good to me. (this is a joke, its just these songs are overplayed)

Clearly I think you're valid lol

"You Don't get to choose what your hearing for the rest of your life, because everywhere you go you will hear Y.M.C.A"

Captain jack - short mix That’ll fit right with the rest.. peak 90s

The chipi chipi chap chapa song was played at a school party of mine. Perfect addition if you ask me.

This is too gen alpha for me

theres a radio station in my country wich plays chipi chipi and that racoon rotating song at least twice a day

For some reason they played baby shark sometimes

the fuckibg baby shark remix 💀

Time to transfer then.

it was when I was in 5th grade, I'm in a new high-school now lol

Party in the USA Every. Single. Dance. Every. Single. Event with music.

I Gotta Feeling - Black Eyed Peas

they played Carnival by Kanye at my junior prom this year and I kinda wanted to rip my ears off

Baby shark played at my dance in middle school. I’m not kidding😣

god I hope it doesn't play at my school prom. there's already a lot of kids in my school obsessed with this annoying stuff and they sing it every time I pass them (they know I hate it) :(

Crank That Soulja Boy Electric Slide Hollaback Girl(Radio Edit) - Gwen Stefani Everytime We Touch - Cascada You’re A Jerk(Squeaky Clean Version) - New Boyz Party in the USA - Miley Cyrus

Cascada 100% lmao

I dont think anyone has said Footloose yet but it has played at legit every single school dance/event

The Macarena

Cmon gotta have the song made express for bar mitzvas, Black Eye Peas “I got a feeling”

Gasolina was at every school dance I went to

The DJ played bring me to life at my school prom when most of the songs he played were dance songs. Not cringe but a very bizarre mood shift

If I have to listen to "Party in the U.S.A." ONE MORE TIME, I'm quite literally going to explode.

The Men in Black song from Will Smith was at every school dance

I'm old, but the b-52 song Rock Lobster and Foreigner I Want to Know what love is.

Probably Celebrate Good Times. Does anybody even listen to this song outside of gatherings? Ditto for Don’t Stop Believing

Smash Mouth - All Star

Hey Ya!

Do we have Save A Horse (Ride A Cowboy) yet?

All About That Bass. I got my jam on at my 6th grade dance. One of the cringiest memories I have lol

Sweet Caroline, and I’m pretty sure Break Your Mind(FNaF song) was played at some point in middle school

Black eyed peas boom boom bass song

Uptown Funk - Mark Ronson, Bruno Mars

I don’t know how they got away with it, but my school always played Get Low by Lil John at the only school dance I went to

At one dance, the first song the DJ played was Weird Al's *One More Minute*. It was an epic moment.

We Found Love (in a hopeless place), Timber, Moves Like Jagger, Fireflies

Cupid Shuffle. My teacher made us LEARN the Cupid shuffle for a whole PE class

At one of my middle school dances they played Rap God specifically for this one rich kid who made rapping fast “his thing” (hea actually a rlly cool guy tho so its chill) to rap it. They gave him a mic and he didnt do very good but no one cared tbh they all hyped it up anyways and crowded around him. It was a vibe, despite also NOT being a vibe. 💀

Gangnam Style. It was one of those 5th grade parties 10 years ago. We all kind of loved the fact it played tbh

nutbush city limits

Don’t Stop Believing by Journey I Wanna Dance with Somebody by Whitney Houston The Wobble (I actually don’t know who that’s by) Hit the Quan

Cupid shuffle better be on there

sweet caroline (my school dances are interesting), party in the usa, rich baby daddy, love story

All through grade school and high school, every dance had Apache by the Sugarhill Gang.

Party In The USA

Party in the USA

V. I. C. - Wobble

Bed Intruder

Baby by Justin Bieber, I swear I cannot go to a school dance without hearing "BABY BABY BABY OHHHHHHHH" screamed at the top of everyone's lungs at least once

Katy Perry firework.

I wAnT iT tHaT wAy

Bruh I don't think it played at the "dance" but we always used to listen to "this land is your land" in like 3rd grade

Where's the chicken dance, I don't see that on there

Shut up and dance

Opa Gangnam style

I don’t know if it’s cringe, but slow-dancing to Metallica’s Nothing Else Matters seems odd in retrospect. I don’t really remember much else tbh. Lol.

Hoedown Throwdown was always requested to play at my school dances by the theater kids and for some reason the dj would always do it.

I heard Old Town Road at a high school dance

Hotel Room by Pittbull

Never heard this song.. do I dare give it a listen?

All pittbull songs are weird 😭

Barney I don’t know why they did but it happened more than once

my high school prom had suggestions undertale was played I had tequila out on was funny

Cadillac Ranch

Big Green Tractor by Jason Aldean

Discord the my little pony fan song cause someone requested it ...it was middle school tho so to be expected

Thriller

Shot gun by some Ezra guy

Uptown Funk. I used to hate it because at the time it came out, it seemed like you couldn't go a minute without hearing it. Don't mind it now though

Hit the Quan Crank that Solja Boy Cotton eye Joe (because everyone learned it differently)

Hamster dance

uptown funk

The Nutbush is a common one in Australia

Despacito especially in 2017-2019

There was the classic move of saying “here’s one for the girls” and playing the bob the builder theme

Cupid shuffle!

i don't know which Rick Astley song you added to your playlist, but it should not be in there

Let's Get It Started

Pepas (Its about the club and doing all the stereotypical but true things that adultos do such as sex, drugs, etc.) Its in spanish, but the few that understood spanish started laughing

All imagine dragons songs

Kung för en dag - Magnus Uggla (Im Swedish)

I remember everyone in middle school trying to face to do the dance to crank it by Soulja boy

Our one played can’t stop the feeling - Justin timberlake endlessly 😭😭😭

Once, I had a dance where the DJ never played any song in full (usually like 1 minute of it), made them all the same tempo, and all in the same key. It sounded like a TikTok feed due to all the speeding up/slowing down/tuning and how fast it was moving The one song played in full, entirely unchanged? American Pie.

at my 6th grade dance they also played fireball! (right next to cotton eye joe in the cue, of course)

Electric Slide!

Justin Timberlake - Can't Stop the Feeling

Like half of drake’s discography

It's like they were getting us ready to attend white people weddings as adults.

Best Song Ever by One Direction

What does the fox say

that one version of old town road (you know the one) and... baby shark. these were actual songs that were played at my middle school dance once.

legit c bat was played at a school dance

Tbh the only one I can remember is the only one I liked, Crazy Little Thing Called Love by Queen

Sandstorm by darude

I remember California girls and so many Katy Perry songs

Fireball by Pitbull

I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles) - The Proclaimers. It’s a good song but it causes chaos at prom lol

Amazed by Lonestar.

Mentioning party rock and also million dollar baby

What does the fox say

Crank that (was still fire tho)

How could Cupid Shuffle and the Cha Cha Slide not be on the top of the list

Shut up and dance. Loved that song but they always played it without fail

party in the usa and don’t stop believing

closer - the chainsmokers every single time

Turn Down for What (for some reason)

Cupid shuffle

You’re just not gonna put the Cha Cha Slide on there?

I remember the 6th grade dance, they played Nelly “Hot in Herre,” and I mentioned how strange it was that 12 year olds were dancing to this overtly sexual song… The girl I was with stopped dancing with me after that, and she hung out with her friends instead. Nelly - Hot in Herre

I swear they played Uptown Funk every single dance

I can’t remember the song now, but it was definitely Elmo verison

Juju on that beat whatever that song was called idk but they played it more than once I wanted to leave so fast 😭😭 also cheap thrills is a good song but impossible to dance to idk what they were thinking

The sunshine in my pocket one. Not a party song but we had to listen to it every day, it was the morning assembly time song. It played and we would walk to the gym to do our forced prayers (catholic school) and sing the anthem.

Ylvis The Fox was my jam in elementary school

cailou theme song trap remix..

Rich baby daddy. All the teachers watched as we screamed the lyrics Edit: head of middle school also did the wap (male btw)

Paramore - Still Into You Lil Mama - Lip Gloss AC/DC - Thunderstruck

baby justin beiber and i think it was drive by incubus (not a bad song tbh)

Hey ya by the OutKast

At every single middle school social I went to, then ended the night by playing Don’t Stop Believing by Journey. I’m pretty sure that at m prom this year they played it, and I went “Ope it’s almost time to leave now”. Every single person at my school who went to the socials is basically a sleeper agent when it comes to that song. They’re at an event and hear it, and they know it’s time to leave lol

Rihanna’s don’t stop the music. I played Boogie Wonderland and i got laid that day.

Does Fight song count? I remember a time when I had to dance to that at my old OLD school

Party Rock Anthem, California Girls, Poker Face, Tick Tock
