Songs That Guys Might Not Want To Dance To In Public

Guys…you’re at a bar, having a good time, the music’s ok so far. It’s a lot of the typical stuff, 80’s but decent, some hard rock and the current crap they play on the radio. Girls…it’s the same for you, just hanging out with your friends, some good tunes, but nothing that you can really start dancing to.

Then, it all changes…Like A Prayer comes on! The girls start shrieking and jumping up and down like they only get to hear the song once every ten years. They start dancing…their night just got much better! The guys sit there rolling their eyes and wait for the next song to come on as the girls try to get them to dance with them, but the guys just push the girls away all embarrassed.

Like a Prayer is just one of the many songs that made our list of “Songs That Guys Might Not Want To Dance To In Public.” It’s no surprise that almost all of the songs chosen are from the 80’s. Ladies, if you’ve been talking to a guy for most of the night and he starts singing or dancing to any of the following songs listed, you may want to question whether you want to go home with him later (although give him a break if he’s wasted). If he gets as excited about the song coming on as you do, take advantage of the situation by dancing with him and then realize you might be going home by yourself tonight.

A word of caution guys, please don’t start blasting these at work and get caught dancing in your cubicles…

Meatloaf – Paradise by the Dashboard Light
Favorite Lyrics: Ok here we go, we got a real pressure cooker going. Here, two down, nobody on, no score, bottom of the ninth, there’s the wind-up. And there it is, a line shot up the middle, look at him go. This boy can really fly! He’s rounding first and really turning it on now, he’s not letting up at all, he’s gonna try for second; the ball is bobbled out in center, and here comes the throw, and what a throw! He’s gonna slide in head first, here he comes, he’s out! No, wait, safe – safe at second base, this kid really makes things happen out there. Batter steps up to the plate here’s the pitch – he’s going, and what a jump he’s got, he’s trying for third, here’s the throw, it’s in the dirt – safe at third! Holy cow, stolen base! He’s taking a pretty big lead out there, almost daring him to try and pick him off. The pitcher glances over, winds up, and it’s bunted, bunted down the third base line, the suicide squeeze is on! Here he comes, squeeze play, its gonna be close, here’s the throw, here’s the play at the plate, holy cow, I think he’s gonna make it!

Weather Girls – It’s Raining Men
Favorite Lyrics: God bless Mother Nature. She’s a single woman too. She took over heaven. And she did what she had to do. She fought every Angel to rearrange the sky so that each and every woman could find the perfect guy. It’s raining men…
