As I stated last posting, We want YOUR songs! PLEASE though, don't send more than 2 suggestions at a time.
If you find NEW stuff to suggest, feel free to send, just don't keep sending the same song over and over :)
If you wish to suggest music, you must PRIVATE message me directly with the link and the subject line "Suggestion for Music". It would help me a GREAT deal if you would also include the name of the band and the song with your video clip. I am running into removed videos and I have no way to search w/o information included.
Also, If you discover I did NOT use your particular clip It's usually because it isn't available, isn't playing properly or has a long commercial in front of it. I will try to search out a good version when this happens.

This upcoming M3 will post on January 28th, 2013


Next category. Heavy Metal. Do I really need to explain that? lol. Share your loudest, most thunderous, electric head banging songs here, NAOW. :)

Congrats to:

We need a music madness monday with Travelling or transportation songs...planes, trains, automobiles...lol Even horses!

As always, I love listening to peoples picks.

ZhaveaJan 14, 2013 6:40 pm
Wow, lots of familiar titles to songs that I really wish I had thought of myself! XD

Sienna- THANK YOU for suggestiong the Cha Cha Slide. That song makes me so nostalgic, I'd first listened to it for a halftime dance between my elementary school' basketball team and the faculty at the end of my fifth grade year. Ahhh, good times.

Jango- I can't resist that song, it's just so catchy. x3

And of course, those two picks of your own, Alex, are just too amazing. x3

Exellent choices everyone! Yay for Monday Music Madness! <3

PhantomFireJan 14, 2013 6:56 pm

AlliraJan 14, 2013 7:11 pm

Wow you picked Dancing Queen Alex - bet that was painful :) Good pick for me though - I'll be Dancing soon.

singleroseJan 14, 2013 8:39 pm
Great picks everyone....they all make me feel like dancin'.

Shadows HidingJan 14, 2013 11:07 pm
I didn't think I knew any of these songs. Then I listened to them and knew them all xD They bring back memories haha!

VendettaJan 15, 2013 2:13 am
Aw brenne,I haven't heard Your Momma Don't Dance in years. Made me smile and burst into happy song (fortunately no glass was broken in the moment of joy).

NoctyJan 15, 2013 12:42 pm
Oh wow! Lots of songs I haven't heard in ages! Time to fresh up on the lyrics memory I think, because singing and dancing is in order! CX

furryfeathersJan 20, 2013 1:41 pm
Hmm, Heavy Metal is not my type of music, but I'll ask hubby for suggestions...

UsikuJan 20, 2013 11:48 pm
Great Songs!!! I can even say I knew most of them, I even knew a lot of them by name.

I did not recognize Land of 1000 Dances. But as soon as I did I went to hunt down my copy of Fern Gully. I love that movie - love that song.

I love Anne Murray and Sasha's pick is one of my favorites that Ms Murray sings. Although I like most of her stuff!!

I had not heard Safety Dance but I thoughly enjoyed it and the video that went with it. Thanks Captian for a great pick.

My mom loves to have music playing, so I grew up listening to the music of American Band Stand, Elvis, and the Beatles, so Alex's picks really brought back some great memories!!!

furryfeathersJan 21, 2013 8:53 am
All kinds of familiar songs.... LOL, I don't dance, but I do recognize most of them.

Kami Mi Ke NekoJan 26, 2013 2:13 pm
*rolls on this thread* WHY AREN"T MORE PEOPLE SUBMITTING SONGS> DO EET>

^.^ That was my helpful message brought to you by Callie. :D She approves! ^.^


crazy catJan 26, 2013 5:04 pm
Fantastic songs this week! Listening to these, all I can say is that I was dancing in my seat! xD!
Can't wait to see everyone's picks for next week!
*discos out of the thread*

AlliraJan 26, 2013 5:47 pm
Once again Sashie had a pick that I nearly chose too. My eldest sister had Anne Murrays song as her bridal waltz.
My other choice was Dancing in the Dark by Bruce Springsteen (one of my all time favourite songs) but Im glad Alex finally went Abba. Turned out I only needed major surgery to soften him up - who knew!!

I can sing most of the words to La Bamba does that make me bilingual??

I actually know most of the songs this week - which hardly ever happens and I even like a few of them!

EVeryone should have a go at sharing their songs!

SashaJan 26, 2013 6:44 pm
I loved everyone's picks. I think we have such similar styles Allira, that our music suggestions are just slightly out of sync so We don't submit the same songs lol.


Dances around evilly and says to all my minions..I challenge you to submit songs for the next MMM!!! GO.....NOW!

kidkeeperJan 26, 2013 6:46 pm
so many songs that i grew up hearing! I remember singing with la bamba as a teen lol and tiny dancer was one of my moms favs. they are all good pics this week and made me wanna get up and dance even after being exhaused from work :)

Shadows HidingJan 26, 2013 7:07 pm
Lol @Kidkeeper
Same here! My mom played tiny dancer all the time when she was making her coffee in the morning xD

WhirlwindJan 27, 2013 12:06 pm
I love Cha Cha Slide!!

MaddieJan 27, 2013 8:06 pm
Cha Cha Slide is a classic... and Dance with the Devil is my personal favorite!

ZeliksJan 28, 2013 3:17 am
Lots of awesome songs!! I was able to listen to them all this time, so yay!! I'll touch on my faves and a few I've never heard

"Dancing With Myself" was awesome, and I really liked the video for it! A classic, and it's a great song all around.

"You Should Be Dancing" brings back quite a bit of memories. My mom bought a dvd of the BeeGees in concert quite a few years back, and she would watch it over and over. This song slowly became a favorite of mine. Originally I hated it, but every time I hear it now, I can't help but smile like an idiot.

"Tiny Dancer"... an amazing song, and it reminds me of my significant other. When ever it comes on the radio/tv/whatever, they'll say 'Stop everything! Tiny Dancer is playing!!' It's one of my favorite Elton John songs, with Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting taking first place.

"Dancing Queen", now that's a song I hadn't heard in -years-! I never knew it had a video for it, and seeing it was really awesome. My mom loves Abba, and I like a few of their songs as well. Couldn't call myself a fan though, sorry! ^^; I do think the list is complete with this one, though!!

"Blood on the Dance Floor" is really nice! I've never liked Michael Jackson much since Pop music really isn't my thing, but wow, awesome! I do like his voice on the few songs I've heard of his, and this is no exception. Really neat video, too!

I don't think I've ever heard "Cha-Cha Slide", but listening to it definitely made me want to get up and dance! XD

"Dance With the Devil" is amazing. Omg! I think I'm going to have to check out Breaking Benjamin now! Possibly a new favorite band? I think so!

"Saftey Dance", now -that's- a song I hadn't heard in about ten years, quite literally! I giggle every time I hear it, and I'm not sure why. I really needed a laugh when the songies were posted, so thanks so much for suggesting it, Captain Stumpy!

Alex, I'm so happy you suggested "Twist and Shout"! I was actually considering it, but I couldn't help but go with Mary Jane's Last Dance. [My partner would've glared at me had I not XD] I was wondering if you've ever heard the Who's take on it? John actually sings it!

As for "La Bamba", I'd never heard it before, but that's a very interesting song! I like it! XD Especially the guitar and the vocals.

Thanks everyone for your awesome picks!
