Dancing with the Stars American Week Music
Well, I’m really happy to say that Vogue did an amazing job on her list of possible American music for Dancing with the Stars. I knew that Lee Greenwood would have to make an appearance on this list and figured that someone’s version of America the Beautiful would as well. Sadly I figured Yankee Doodle Dandy would as well, but I think it’s a terrible song for ballroom. I was surprised by Viva Las Vegas which makes me happy since I live in Vegas.
Anyway, below you’ll find the list of American music used on DWTS and as always you can see the full list of Dancing with the Stars music. Although, I’d probably rather go look at the list of American music that Vogue created if I were you.
Ralph & Karina danced a Samba to the song “Sweet Home Alabama” — Lynyrd Skynyrd
Chris & Cheryl danced a Viennese Waltz to the song “America the Beautiful” — Katharine Lee Bates
Petra & Dmitry danced a Quickstep to the song “Viva Las Vegas” — Elvis Presley
Romeo & Chelsie danced a Foxtrot to the song “New York, New York” — Frank Sinatra
Hines & Kym danced a Rumba to the song “God Bless the USA” — Lee Greenwood
Kirstie & Maks danced a Foxtrot to the song “American Woman” — The Guess Who
Kendra & Louis danced a Foxtrot to the song “Yankee Doodle Dandy” — James Cagney
Chelsea & Mark danced a Samba to the song “Party in the U.S.A.” — Miley Cyrus
didn’t like american week… =/ after a wonderful classic week, this one wasn’t that good… =/
Thanks John! 😉 And if I were to pick my two fave songs this week, it would be American Woman and Sweet Home Alabama!
I liked “American Woman”, but I found it odd that they reused a song for a foxtrot that was originally used for a paso on the show. But I daresay it worked far better for Kirstie’s foxtrot than Natalie Coughlin’s paso!
Also found it interesting that more outwardly patriotic songs (“God Bless the USA” and “American the Beautiful”, and to a lesser degree “Party in the USA”) tended to fare better points-wise than songs about specific cities (“Sweet Home Alabama” & “Viva Las Vegas”).
all i want is the entire music sound trax for all the seasons by the dwts band and singers. where and how may i get it??
Have to make a small correction to your list John. Kirstie and Maks danced to the Lenny Kravitz version of “American Woman”.
The singing however ICK. I’m Canadian & I was offended by how badly they butchered “America the Beautiful”
I thought the song that the whole troop and more danced to in this past week’s show was outstanding. Does anyone know the name of that song and who was the original artist?
