PureDWTS Season 19 Music Wish List
Normally this list would be a lot longer, but John, Heidi, & Lori all had brain farts on music – leaving Vogue & I to pick up the slack π Here’s some of the songs we’d love to hear on DWTS this season…and we want to hear yours! Let us know in the comments what songs you’re hoping get used on the show!
Courtney:
“Chandelier” by Sia – This has been on repeat on my iPod all summer.Β Just a great song for a contemporary routine.
“It’s Not Unusual” by Tom Jones – I’ve wished for it before, and now that we finally got Alfonso on the show, I need to see a quickstep to it…or maybe even a quickstep/samba fusion π
“Sunglasses at Night” by Corey Hart – My perennial song wish – you guys know this π Well I wished for Alfonso & got him – maybe Rob Wade will give me my much-anticipated paso doble to this one! π
“You & I (Nobody in the World)” by John Legend – While everyone was going crazy over “All of Me” last season, my favorite song off of John’s latest album is this one – it’s kind of the R&B answer to Eric Clapton’s “Wonderful Tonight”: a guy telling his lady she’s beautiful no matter what, as he watches her get ready to go out at night.Β And if you haven’t seen the video yet, go watch it right MEOW – it’s just perfect.Β If I only see one rumba all season – I want it to be to this song.
“Stay” by Shakespears Sister – Thought about this song last season upon finding out that Candace & Charlie were dancing to Sam Smith’s “Stay with Me”.Β It’s a pretty old song, but it would make a stellar song for a contemporary routine – hell, I think it would make a fantastic contemporary TRIO song, based on the narrative of the music video.Β Give it to Derek and watch him work wonders π
“Conjunction Junction” from Schoolhouse Rock – Had an epiphany the other night while watching a documentary about Schoolhouse Rock – how fun would it be if they did a Schoolhouse Rock theme week? This song would make such a fun foxtrot, and would allow the pros to show off a bit more of a playful side.
“All About That Bass” by Meghan Trainor – This song is so ridiculously catchy, and my sister and I have a running inside joke about this song and a gif of a dancing honey badger.Β Just don’t ask π Would be a fun cha-cha.
“Love Runs Out” by OneRepublic – A currently-popular song that’s actually appropriate for paso doble.Β So please, producers – no more duds like “Sail”.
Vogue:
“Billy Jean” by Michael Jackson – I’d love to see Alfonso bring this song to life as his older self being this is the song he did with Michael in the Pepsi commercial. That could possibly give us a big “Michael Jackson” moment and I love how this show features something by Michael almost every season.
“A Place With No Name” by Michael Jackson – This is my favorite song currently. I’d freak if the pros performed this in a group number. They could bring on Sharna’s boyfriend Paul Kirkland to dance as well and help with choreography being he performs in the new Michael Jackson Vegas show.
“Come Get It Bae” by Pharrell – This is another one of my current favorite songs. I don’t care who performs it or how….just so they do it. I know Sharna likes this song a lot too.
“Hunter” by Pharrell – Being this song has “Duck Dynasty” mentions, I’d love to see Mark and Sadie dance to this song. Not sure if it’s age or lyric appropriate (maybe the band could fix it somehow?), but, it’s a great dance song.
“Anything Goes” by Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga – What a beautiful song for a Fox Trot or a Waltz.
“Bailando” by Enrique Iglesias – This would be such a great song for a “Latin” group number. The cast could bring the video to life.
“Fairytale” by Alexander Rybak – What a cool and snappy pop Irish/Hungarian “gypsie” jig. A song like this would make a great mix up to the show. I was hooked the first time I heard it.
“Queremos Paz” by The Gotan Project – This song would be so cool for a Tango or Argnetine Tango. Actually, I’d take anything by The Gotan Project for a Latin number. Ssssssssssss
Now let’s hear your suggestions! π
Anything by Maroon 5. π but how about Animals.
I would say “Shake It Off” would be on my list, but I’m about 190382933% positive that song is going to be danced to this season, so I’ll leave it off.
I like “Fireball” by Pitbull. I normally hate myself for liking Pitbull songs, and I do hate myself for liking a Pitbull song, but this would make a really fun Salsa song.
I hit submit too soon. Sorry for the double comments by me.
I also like “One More Night” by Nick & Knight. That would be a great samba, I think.
I have no idea what style this song would be (Maybe a cha-cha) but “I Got U” by Duke Durmont would also be a fun song to see on the show.
Yes love the song chandlier i hope Derek can do a
Contemporary to it hes great at making contemporary dances
I would love to see someone dance to Maroon 5’s “maps”
And maybe hilary duff’s come clean or fly love those songs
I second that, Rose2. However I would prefer “Maps” for like..a ChaCha, maybe?
I also agree on the above choices of “Love Runs Out” and “Bailando”. Such awesome songs that are always stuck in my head.
My wishlist would be:
“Back to Black” by Amy Winehouse – A Foxtrot.. or Tango.. or both?! Haha
“You Can’t Stop the Beat” from Hairspray – Super fun Jive song!
“Am I Wrong” by Nico & Vinz – Also stuck in my head. Arg. Tango, maybe?
“All Night Long” by Lionel Rickie – Want a Samba to this one π
“Mountain Sound” Of Monsters and Men – Would be a nice Quickstep
“Safe and Sound” by Capital Cities – Want a ChaCha to this soo bad!
“Everything Has Changed” by Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran
“Delilah” by Tom Jones – My favorite song of his, perfect for a V. Waltz
“Fireball” Pitbull – A Salsa appropriate for Latin Night, I would say
“Cough Syrup” by Young the Giant – Love this song. For a Tango maybe?
There’s probably more I want that I can’t think of now. This is such a fun post, thank you! π
I don’t mean “One More Night.” Oops. I meant “One More Time.”
Well, if Alfonso makes the finals…he HAS to get Will Smith to recreate their Jump on It routine to the song Apache by The Sugarhill Gang…it was used in an Xbox Kinect video game because I recall dancing to it with my son π lol
Also love All About that Bass by Meghan Trainor π
Bang Bang by JesseJ, Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj
Any of Ariana Grande’s recent hits–LOVE HER!
@Kelly Bang Bang is apparently going to be used for Janel and Val’s Jive.
Not sure how I feel about that. Would rather them give that song to someone else.. for a different dance. Sighhh.
I would like to see “Highway to Hell” or “Love A Rainy Night” for some reason whenever I read Team TangoDega Nights that song pops into my head.
Don’t really see Bang Bang as a Jive song. Interesting choice.
OMG Vogue Fairytale by Alexander Rybak hahaha. OMG hahaha I am from Europe and that song is known as the highest scoring song of ALL TIME at the Eurovision song Contest. The most GAYMAZING thing on Earth hahaha I cant stop laughing hahaha
Cher, I’ve always wanted a Paso to Highway To Hell. The couple could start it sitting on a Harley clad in black leather.
π
Fairytale – OH great music & song.
I’m with #CC in many of here music too.
would like to add, sorry – I’m in the 60’s music : (one can dream right ? )
SWAY – Dean Martin
You can leave your hat on – Joe Cocker
Big spender – Shirley Bassey
Putinn’ on the Ritz – PERFECT quickstep… π
Fever – Peggy Lee
Georgy Girl – The Seekers
That Ole Devil Called Love – Alison Moyet version
Jailhouse Rock – Elvis Presley
Puff The Magic Dragon – Peter, Paul and Mary π
Stand by me – Ben E. King
Tommy Seebach (Denmark)- “Disco Tango” – fusion. Eurovision 1979 – just for fun
My list can go on… I’m a music addicted…
@Susan2 They could always reuse Val & Zendaya’s Go-Cart props from season 16.
Sorry for the double post but @Vered w -Tommy needs to do something to “Puff the Magic Dragon.”
#Cher – π I’m just coming up with ideas, BUT who ever dance to that will win EVERYBODY hearts π
one of the songs I thought of was – Cher – The Shoop Shoop Song (It’s in His Kiss) π
Here is my Wish List for Season 19
“Really Don’t Care”-Demi Lovato feat. Cher Lloyd (Cha-Cha-Cha)
“Blue Moon”-Beck (Foxtrot)
“Open Your Eyes”-Andrew Belle (Contemporary)
“Dirty Love”-Kesha feat. Iggy Pop (Quickstep)
“Don’t Stop”-5 Seconds of Summer (Jive)
“Partition”-BeyoncΓ© (Jazz)
“You Make Me”-Avicii (Tango)
“Whistle”-Flo Rida (Samba)
“Just A Little Bit Of Your Heart”-Ariana Grande (Waltz)
“Black Widow”-Iggy Azalea feat. Rita Ora (Paso Doble)
“Wanted Is Love”-Phillip Phillips (Viennese Waltz)
“Perfume”-Britney Spears (Rumba)
“Marilyn Monroe”-Pharrell Williams (Argentine Tango)
“Let The Groove Get In”-Justin Timberlake (Salsa)
So many good ones, Everyone. I want to add “All Of The Stars” by Ed Sheeran for a contemporary performance.
“It’s Not Unusual” would be awesome! And Tom Jones in the audience would just be the icing on the cake.
My memories of my dearly departed Dad singing Tom Jones classic’s all through our house are near and dear to me, so the thought of a Tom Jones song or even Tom Jones in the audience would bring Happy Tears of Joy to my eyes.
If they do not, sometime during the season, have Alfonso dance to “It’s not Unusual” then this season will be an epic fail.
“Stay” by Florida Georgia Line – Such a great song…what dance I am not sure…contemporary?
“Cruise” by Florida Georgia Line – A cha cha cha maybe?
“Dirt” by Florida Georgia Line – I want the pros to dance to this with them performing it live π .
“Hot Stuff” by Donna Summer – This was used in season 2 and honestly deserves to be used again so a better dancer than Kenny can use it.
“Mambo Number 5” by Lou Bega – Not gonna lie, I want to see Mark or Cheryl get this. Could be amazing.
“Just Fine” by Backhouse Mike- I love this song but I’m not sure what dance it would work for.
“Bare Necessities” – This is if they do Disney Night again. I was hoping they would do it last season but they didn’t.
“Wish Upon A Star”- Another one if they’re doing Disney Night. I’ve always preferred this song for a waltz to “So This Is Love” so it frustrated me when they used this for Amy’s waltz last season and Sabrina’s in Season 15. I’ve also always preferred “Pinocchio” to “Cinderella.”
“Break Free” by Ariana Grande- This is a really catchy song and has a good beat. I think this could be good for something like a jazz since the style is more flexible.
“Cool Kids” by Echosmith- On the slim chance they do use this song this season I want it to be given to Bethany. I think she would make the best fit for it. Don’t ask me why because I have no idea. π
“Smooth Criminal” by Michael Jackson- Don’t lie. You want to see this too. π Have they ever used this? I think this would make for a great dance. Probably jazz or freestyle. If anyone would do this this season, hopefully it would be Alfonso.
This is FUN!
I’m not sure what dances fit my choices below, but here goes:
1. Funky Town
2. Play that Funky Music
3. She Bop (Cyndi Lauper)
4. On Top of the World (Imagine Dragons)
5. All Through the Night (Cyndi Lauper)
6. Frozen (Madonna)
7. Nothing Compare 2U (Sinead O’Connor)
8. Fade (Wild Culture)
9. Dare (Shakira)
10. Higher (Deborah Cox feat. Paige)
My Picks
1. “Electric Lady”- Janelle Monae
2. “Wild, Wild, West”- Will Smith (Quickstep)- an oldie but gooodie
3. “Bad Habits”- Maxwell (This would be a hot rumba)
4. “Run the Show”- Kat DeLuna (Samba or Salsa)
5. “Problem”- Ariana Grande (Cha-Cha)
6. “Commander”- Kelly Rowland (Paso Doble)
7. “Who Do You Love”- Bernard Wright
8. “Play”- Goapele (Rumba)
9. “If”- Janet Jackson (Paso)
10. “La La La (Dare You)”- Shakira (Samba)
Vogue, you and I are on the same page with “Come Get it Bae” for Cha Cha. After Amber and Riley slayed “Wings” to a Cha Cha, I’m ready for someone to bring the thunder to this song with a Cha Cha.
