Evolution of Dance Song List

Filed in Fun & Humor / Movies & Videos / Music


Back on October 9, 2006 I posted about Inspirational Comedian Judson Laipply and his interpretation of the “Evolution of Dance” video. I even included the actual video to watch and links to his site and the songs used in the video.

Well this morning I received a comment on my original post by a user named Courtney saying:

does anyone know what the songs are in this video??? i really need to know them…

So I went to the post remembering that I posted a link to the songs and guess what? The link no longer works.

Have no fear Courtney, I have them all for you and since I’m such a nice guy, here is the complete list of every song and artist used in the “Evolution of Dance” video:

  1. Hound Dog – Elvis Presley
  2. The Twist – Chubby Checker
  3. Stayin’ Alive – The Bee Gees
  4. Y.M.C.A. – The Village People
  5. Kung Fu Fighting – Carl Douglas
  6. Keep On – The Brady Bunch
  7. Greased Lightnin’ – John Travolta
  8. You Shook Me All Night Long – AC/DC
  9. Billy Jean – Michael Jackson
  10. Thriller – Michael Jackson
  11. Oompa Loompa – Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

    Hmmm… I have six of those songs, if you count remixes. I think the surprising thing is which ones I don’t have, really…

    Hi Luke. So what six songs do you actually have?

    I’m going to take a guess and say that you for sure have “Keep On” by the Brady Bunch and “Break Dance (Electric Boogie)” by the Sugarhill Gang.

    Did I win? :)

    Nope, not even close. I have Mr. Roboto, The Chicken Dance, Baby Got Back, Tubthumping, What Is Love, and Cotton Eye Joe, and I’ve since found a copy of Love Shack.

    I was really surprised when I realized my library doesn’t have the Macarena or Y.M.C.A. I mean, come on…

    Luke, I love that you have the chicken dance in your collection.

    I now have this visual of you doing the actual dance… hahaha.

    Did you ever do it in the dorms?

    I don’t remember doing it in the dorms, but I did do it at my brother’s wedding. There were two or three of us who refused to go join in the group dances on the dance floor at the reception, so one time after my aunt had tried yet again to get us to go dance, I started doing it right behind her back every time she turned back to the party.

    That is the only time I have ever been able to pull off the “do it while their back is turned” joke…

    Hi Tom.

    Last I heard Judson Laipply was working on getting permission from the copyright holders for all the songs used in his custom mix.

    Most of the songs are available at your local music store or on iTunes, so with a little work, you could recreate the mix yourself.

    Hi maddie.

    When you say that you need the two minute version, do you want the songs compiled together or the video of Judson Laipply doing the dance?

    Can anyone help me put these songs onto a CD??
    Not all of them, only a selected few. Me and my husband 2 be want to do this for our wedding dance! Should get lots of laughs, but neither of us are very good at computers or anything technical at all – i am willing to pay someone for their help and time.
    Email me if you can help… kensagrys@aol.com
