Rock n’ Roll Music on Dancing with the Stars
Did someone say Rock n’ Roll with ballroom dancing? That’s right. What did everyone think of Rock n’ Roll night on tonight’s episode of Dancing with the Stars? Did you like it? Did you hate it? Do you hate theme nights in general? What about the live band? Were they rock stars?
As always, here’s the list of rock songs used on tonight’s Dancing with the Stars.
Audrina & Tony danced a Paso Doble to the song “Another One Bites the Dust” 
—Queen
Kyle & Lacey danced a Tango to the song “If I Had You” —Adam Lambert
Jennifer & Derek danced a Paso Doble to the song “So What” —Pink
Rick & Cheryl danced a Tango to the song “You Really Got Me” —Ray Davies
Bristol & Mark danced a Tango to the song “According to You” —Orianthi
Kurt & Anna danced a Paso Doble to the song “The Final Countdown” —Europe
Brandy & Maksim danced a Tango to the song “Holding Out for a Hero” —Bonnie Tyler
Rock n’ Roll marathon to the song “La Grange” —ZZ Top
Also, check for all the music from DWTS.
I hate that the abc website is still...
Did someone within the last four seasons also Paso to “So What”? I had a strong sense of deja vu…
bardic_lady,
I’ll defer that question to Marianya. She keeps track of all the repeats. Seems like it’s about time to have a repeat music post. I know she’s busy, but I’ll have her check her list.
I think Melissa and Tony Paso’d to “So What”. Not 100% but pretty sure. I seem to remember her growling lol.
Maybe Julianne did once too – either with Cody or someone she didn’t win with (so Chuck?) But I think Cody.
I guess Google is your friend, because Shawn/Gilles and Melissa danced the Paso to it in the final Paso Off.
Thanks John! I loved all the songs this week….the Adam Lambert and ZZ top songs being my faves!!
Hated it. Really bad dancing comes from totally inappropriate music.
David!! That probably sums up, in a nutshell, my problem with last night. “Really bad dancing comes from totally inappropriate music.” Amen.
Okay, “You Really Got Me”
is NOT by Van Halen 
.
They did a cover of it, but it’s not their fricking song.
To what what ive seen on Youtube. Last night looked awesome!
Too many themed nights can be too boring and tiresome. I loved last night but didn’t like tv theme week.
Last night was so much better than acoustic night. I was expecting to see all like KISS and Queen and other 70s/80s rock songs, but was very surprised and enjoyed them using Pink and Orianthi.
I am getting sick of the singers butchering songs. I think it may be time for the orchestra to go and just use a boom box. It may actually sound better in the long run.
David and Heidi! You rock! Ditto to “Hated it.”Imagine what great dancing might’ve happened with the appropriate music. If the producers want a rock night, have the pros dance to a great rock number…that I might’ve enjoyed.
Thoughts for next week’s songs based on nothing other than who the guest judges are and what dances the couples have (though I am guessing the latter for Kyle and Jen as well). It’s fun to guess when you only have half (or less) of the information — maybe I’ll get half (or less) right!
Brandy/Maks: Foxtrot to Helio’s “Ain’t That a Kick in the Head”
Rick/Cheryl: Quickstep to Kelly O’s “99 Red Balloons”
Jennifer/Derek: Waltz to Gilles’ “Come Away With Me”
Kyle/Lacey: Samba to Emmitt’s “Sir Duke”
Bristol/Mark: V. waltz to Mel B’s “Somebody to Love”
Kurt/Anna: Tango to Drew’s “Shut Up”
mmc,
I should have thought of that first. It will be interesting to see how many you get right.
Ray Davies is pissed. You Really Got Me is his song performed by his band the Kinks
Sorry Ray. I’ve updated the posts.
Geez, John. Did you see that I’m already off by 2 on my guesses? Maks said they are doing their foxtrot to Gilles/Cheryl’s’ song (“Fever”). That means that I (at least) got Derek/Jennifer wrong too. Thought for sure they’d use one of Gilles’ “30″ dances. Oh well, back to the drawing board… LOL
I don’t think I’ve even heard what Derek and Jennifer are dancing, mmc, so you’re ahead of me. I have everyone except Kyle and Jennifer.
mmc,
I hadn’t seen that. It’s alright. It’s hard to predict what the crazy DWTS producers will do.
Heidi, I’m just guessing on dance for Kyle and Jennifer as well. I could give a whole long explanation on my rationale, but it probably wouldn’t be interesting to anyone but me. I’m just a geek when it comes to numbers and other types of data.
If you’re a geek, you’re in good company here, mmc.
What are your guesses for Jennifer and Kyle?
Assuming that TPTB want to leave each couple with 2 ballroom and 2 latin just in case (for weeks 8-9):
Jennifer = waltz: She also hasn’t done quickstep and tango, but other couples are already doing those.
Kyle = paso: Unlikely he’d get samba along with the group cha-cha, and none of the guest judges really had a great jive (highest score was 27).
Well, mmc, that seems pretty reasonable to me. I can’t believe Derek, Lacey or Kyle haven’t tweeted their dance yet. Derek never tweets his order, but he usually puts the dance out there. I hope Jen does have the waltz as I think that will favor her. Kyle and the Paso – I don’t see that as a strength or either him OR Lacey.
Per the ABC website, the dances are foxtrot, quickstep, V. waltz, tango, and paso. But out of those, I can’t figure out the Emmitt dance for the life of me. None were standout dances for him.
anyone know the song the used in the little video they used for Kurt’s little ‘behind the scenes’ a couple of weeks ago in the results show?
