After the new G-rated music selection played at this year’s Back to School Dance, many students hope for a better, more satisfying song list at this year’s upcoming Homecoming Dance.

Over the years, dances have gotten rowdier, crazier, and more difficult to manage—and because of this, the administration took action in an effort to gain more control. Changes to the dance dress code and an increase in security are understandable measures that won’t stop students from having a good time—but a change in the danceability of the music will.

This year’s Back to School Dance featured fewer crowd-pleasers than in past years, replacing some great hits with the repetitive, cheesy, light beats of pop songs and the wholesome but immature and sappy-sweet lyrics of Owl City’s “Good Time.”

At this year’s Homecoming Dance, I propose we keep fun levels high while keeping it appropriate at the same time by playing clean versions of the same classic dance crowd-pleasers, keeping the catchy beats but simply removing the foul language.

Here are some songs—all of which are available in clean versions—that are sure to please the crowd:

GET LOW- Ying Yang Twins & Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz

Ying Yang Twins’s deep vocals combined with the high-energy hypes of Lil Jon and the East Side Boyz give this classic jam extreme danceability. The beat is neither too fast nor too slow. The simple, easy-to-learn lyrics promote an interactive sing-a-long and dance combination of shouting about and pointing to the windooooows and to the walls (to the walls). The song’s built-in crowd involvement creates an easy way to hype up dance-goers and attract people to the dance floor.

GET BUCK IN HERE- DJ Felli Fel (feat. Akon, Lil Jon, Ludacris & Diddy)

DJ Felli Fel’s fast-paced track features a dream team of Diddy, Akon, Ludacris, and Lil Jon that gives the song some seriously high energy. The collaboration is magical — from Akon’s vocals to Ludacris’s rhymes to Lil Jon’s “woo!”s and “hey!”s that you can feel echo and vibrate through your entire body. In the last 45 seconds of the song, the beat is significantly slowed down, adding variety to the music and making this hit anything but boring.

THIZZLE DANCE- Mac Dre

A Bay Area classic, this song is guaranteed to get the crowd going. The rhythm is explosive and the beat is unique, contagious, and easy to move to. This was even a hit at school dances I went to in middle school — I think high schoolers can handle it. Try to get through this entire song without having to “wipe all the sweat” off your face.

YEAH! -Usher (feat. Lil Jon and Ludacris)

Although Usher released this song almost ten years ago,  Rapper Lil Jon described the song’s combination of genres high-energy crunk and R&B as “Crunk&B,” or “R&B songs that get you crunk, make you wanna wild out.” Lil Jon’s wise words definitely still hold some truth today. The combination of Usher’s smooth voice and the timeless, recognizable rhythm lures you to the dance floor as you bounce to the beat and “wild out.”

I’LL BE- Edwin McCain

When the strobe lights dim and the soft guitar picking and violin begins, it’s time to turn around to face that hottie behind you and give him or her one last memorable dance to the tune of this dreamy slow song. You look deeply into each other’s eyes as Edwin McCain’s soothing vocals slow things down, and you hope the lights are dim enough for nobody to notice the sweat you’ve worked up from “Thizzle Dance” and “Get Buck In Here.” You’ll be writing about this song in your diary tonight. When it’s time to stop getting low and start getting slow, this beautiful ballad’s simple melody will keep people on the dance floor.

GAS PEDAL- Sage the Gemini

Something about local rapper Sage the Gemini’s soft, deep words is inviting and intimate. The simple beat and loud bass can get repetitive, but somehow the song’s ending leaves you wishing it had lasted just a little bit longer. The chorus’s lyrics are minimal yet impactful, commanding the crowd to “slow down,” “wiggle,” and “speed up” by pushing the pedal to the floor.
