Snap! - Rhythm is a Dancer

Remember in the early-to-mid ’90s, in that Post-Nirvana, mainstream-grunge period, when we were really, really running low on pop stars? So pop-radio played a lot of eurodance which people my age today have nostalgia orgasms over? Remember when Culture Beat (Mr. Vain), Black Box (Everybody, Everybody) La Bouche (Be My Lover), Snap! (Rhythm is a Dancer), Le Click (Tonight is the Night), Real McCoy (Another Night) were staple of pop radio? Of course you do, because people my age still hold themed eurodance parties everyone once in a while. 

Isn’t it weird that we’re having a similar moment where euro house pop acts are finding traction on top 40 radio (Afrojack’s Take over Control, Alexandra Stan’s Mr. Saxobeat, Edward Maya’s Stereo Love) but people who get really, really excited about nostalgic euro-dance probably dismiss those songs as mainstream garbage? Of course, this time around more mainstream American (though, interestingly, mainly Latino i.e. Pitbull, J.Lo, Enrique) artists are also exploring this terrorism at the same time. 

This is my singing playlist at work, to get it stuck in co-workers heads all day.
