Shake Your Groove Thing

This is a disco song that has withstood the test of time

The disco era began in the 1970s in American cities, where it became a popular dance music genre and subculture. Syncopated basslines, string sections, trumpets and brass, electric piano, synths, and electric rhythm guitars are characteristic of its sound.  Super easy to dance too!

Rather Be

"When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be"

The year 2014 marked the release of the song by the English electronic music trio Clean Bandit. Additionally, it has a groove that is easy to dance to and contains lyrics that are wonderful.

Mr Brightside

Masterclass in pop songcraft but probably benefitted from not being overthought

Both the vocal and instrumental melodies are brimming with feelings of tension that are asking to be let out. Everyone sings along with this one!

Texas Holdem

This country song was Beyoncé's way of coming out of hiding

All of this ho-hey stomp-clap, complete with an Andy Griffith whistle, comes perilously near to crossing the line into the territory of Lumineers car-commercial music. Fun!

The Lion Sleeps Tonight

It's both ambitious in its scope and deceptively simple

The castanets, the delightfully overproduced opera soprano, the jangling guitar, and each and every one of those vocal peculiarities are all worth listening to.

Lovely Day

It is always a lovely day when you have UC Band in the house!

Such great lyrics - Seems impossible to face, When someone else instead of me, Always seems to know the way, Then I look at you, And the world's alright with me, Just one look at you, And I know it's gonna be … A lovely day .......
