get up off your chair and get ready to
bust a move
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be counting down our picks for the top
10 songs with their own dance for this
list we’re focusing specifically on
songs with dance moves that are an
integral part of the production real
smooth which means that hotline bling’
achy-breaky heart and thriller have all
been excluded along with the songs such
as the hokey-pokey
which doesn’t actually involve dancing
with more of a repetitive routine no
rhythm involved you do the hokey-pokey
and sit down everybody please sit down
number 10
crank that Soulja Boy Soulja Boy what
the heck is that dance you Soulja Boy
tell for a song about a deviant sexual
practice that asked listeners to
Superman oh ho the world just couldn’t
get enough of this hip hop dance craze
let me crank it watch me roll I’ll be
what is Superman at least in 2007 prank
that requires a bit of flexibility as
one first must be able to actually cross
their arms on beat certainly a difficult
task for many yet there’s also some
fancy footwork involved to me Frank
you’re wet me bro I mean what is
Superman love it or hate it
Soulja Boy’s breakthrough single was
huge did you know the dance number nine
the hustle ban McCoy and the Seoul City
Symphony now we’re gonna go way back
back into time for a song by a
Washington DC native that once wrote for
the Shirelles and even worked with the
iconic duo of lever and Stoller let’s be
honest pretty much anybody can do the
Hustle as the basic moves involves some
pointing a sense of direction and the
little arm roll
in other words your mama can do the
hustle and even your granddaddy too
while van McCoy wouldn’t survive the
disco era that was the 70s his timeless
production lives on in the cinematic
world and at retro themed parties
number eight watch me whip/nae nae
salento doesn’t it sound mysterious well
the maestro behind this dance is
actually a teenager by the name of
Richard taking a page out of Soulja
Boy’s book silento created a dance craze
that swept the nation and had everybody
and their uncle getting down with the
chorus
Thank You Leigh go to Sankhya late do
this thank you for an artist that cites
Justin Bieber as an influence let’s just
say the moves have a modern feel as one
must shake that stanky leg break said
leg and then Bach top times top of
course you got a Superman that thing too
number seven time war the Rocky Horror
Picture Show down time is maintained
tucked away between over at the
Frankenstein place and sweet
transvestite this song and dance number
from the cult musical Rocky Horror
Picture Show never fails to make fans
lose their inhibitions
with a set of simple-minded instructions
Time Warp gets people into the mood and
then boom the pelvic thrust
despite the relatively easy dance
routine you’ll still find people that
focus intently on the lyrics when all
they really need to do is jump around
and throw their hands in the air
number six the Charleston James P
Johnson hey pops don’t worry we didn’t
forget about the Charleston back in a
more innocent time when just the idea of
pelvic thrusting made people sweat a man
named James P Johnson composed a ditty
that introduced a most creative dance
number on a basic level one must have a
general sense of rhythm to get those
legs kicking to the side but once you
grasp the concept a little freestyling
will take your Charleston to the next
level of course some individuals will
forever struggle with the basic steps
but hey that’s what YouTube is for
number five vogue Madonna
contrary to a popular belief Madonna
didn’t actually invent this style of
dancing but rather showcased the concept
with her iconic 1990 hit
in fact bogging can be traced back to
1960s Harlem as it was African Americans
that first conceptualized routine even
so the titular song put the vogue
inspired dance on the map and whether
it’s LGBTQ ballrooms or just random acts
of voguing everybody seems to grasp the
essence of this particular form of
self-expression just say the word and
strike a pose
you
Oh Majumdar sorrow when he got jogging
yoga copy number 4 Gangnam style psy by
me all machine jockey
Lou gaw was in the yeah Jack dude on bad
done in the jaw Jack a dance so original
it took over 30 nights to craft Gangnam
style met such success upon its release
that side couldn’t have even come close
to predicting it whooping cotton I’m
star and no one could have predicted the
well over 2 billion views the song has
earned since quickly becoming the most
viewed video of all time on YouTube
thanks to the horse stance and its other
moves Gangnam style has been parodied
time and time again all while bringing
kpop a little closer to mainstream
audiences around the world cleanin so
it’s no surprise that psy will continue
to be gracing dance floors everywhere
for years to come
whooping Cottenham star number three
Macarena los Del Rio
nothing they call me marina and if
achy-breaky heart inspires a sense of
external belonging this Jam inspires a
union of physical and emotional harmony
just look at the members of los Del Rio
and you’ll understand the central
component to this dance as one must find
a way to visually sell the experience
way to following the AMA Colleen
equipped with ballet de gasolina a
little bit following the AMA Karina step
one you got a smile because nobody likes
to watch somebody that looks
uncomfortable doing the Macarena step
two just get into the vibe if you can’t
find a vibe one will be provided for you
although los del rio may be considered a
one-hit wonder with this track their
legacy lives on through this timeless
dance
I love the winner’s podium I’ve had
enough number two the twist
Chubby Checker we know you know this
song so what are you waiting for get up

the Midnighters it was when Philly based
Chubby Checker got his hands on the

back in 1960 the concept of freeform
groove was a provocative concept and
without the twist
millions of people may have never been
born
before we unveil our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions takes me high –
Doug takes me high today takes me how to
