    Top of my head, it has to be a toss up between Barbie Girl and Cotton Eye Joe. But given time, I’m sure I’d come up with something else.

    Like I find Lovely Day by Bill Withers to be one of the most annoying songs ever, but I can’t say it’s BAD.

        It’s 75% great. But then it gets to the 3 minute mark and I just don’t need that minute plus of Lovely Days and held notes. But I know I’m most likely a minority with that opinion.

      I never got into group dances. I love music. According to my mom, I’ve been dancing for as long as I’ve been able to stand. But when a song comes on and there are specific directions on how to move, I almost resent it. Are you a dance instructor? No? You’re just a song? Okay, then don’t tell me how to dance.

      That’s why I never got into Cotton Eye Joe, or the Electric Slide, or any of the other group dances they play at every party. Dancing is a creative expression, it feels weird to use it to conform with others. I get that it can be fun for some people to dance in synchrony, and if well-choreographed a group dance can look amazing. But these pop group-dance songs just don’t inspire me to move.
