100 Greatest Dance Songs ?
according to VH1, that is. they polled producers, djs, record execs and more for this. some of them i had to scratch my head on. others were pretty obvious.

the 70s seemed to reign supreme for dance songs though. no entries for anything after 1999 though. hmmmm, i dunno about that one. have there ben NO "greatest dance songs" released since then? i would think "one more time" would qualify. anyway, here's how the decades fared:

1950s - 3
1960s - 11
1970s - 52
1980s - 25
1990s - 9

my W-T-F items:
25 - "Mashed Potato Time" - Dee Dee Sharp (1962)
has 75 songs below it????

60 - "Believe" - Cher
is above...
66 - "1999" - Prince
and 40 OTHER songs?????

There are several good songs on the list (I'm sure you know the ones). Others... I'd have to change the radio station.

I dunno...
