to ask if your dc know: lambada, macarena, scatman...

[redcandlelight]

and other 'ancient' songs?

spent my lunch break silly-dancing and the dc in disbelief heartily laughing at the videos.

my dc are young teens and pre-teens.
another hight light was aha (take on me)

My ds knows 80s stuff because I play it. It makes me smile if an 80s song comes on the radio and he sings along as happily as if it’s something current.

Mine know Saturday Night, Oops upside your head and Macarena from our cultural getaways... oh, sorry, from our trips to Haven

we had a foray into NDW (80s german silly pop) a while ago.
nena 99 balloons and the such.

Omg I loved these cheesy songs lol 😂 my dd is only 7mths but she loves cartoons version of witch doctor she laughs and dances about whenever we put it on! And I must admit....I do love scatman

Macarena is in Hotel Transylvania 3 so mine knows that. She's also a fan of "the pineapple song" (Agadoo)

16yo would know:
macarena
ymca
reach for the stars

My DS knows
The Timewarp
YMCA

But wouldn't know
The Birdie Song
The Slosh
Cha Cha Slide

Yes, we've been going to UK holiday parks since dc were v small

Added to that list:

Hokey Kokey
Superman
Time Warp
Oops Upside Your Head
Conga
And a few others too no doubt.

Oh, and:

Greased Lightning

My dc knows the dance to Thriller.

We have an ELC DVD of all these songs and dance moves on. Had it since they were toddlers.

My DC (both in their twenties) know all the party dance songs from when we used to go to uk holiday camps, DD also loves most music genres and all decades. We listen to music a lot, always have and regularly went to pub gigs and festivals.

Lambada was before my time but I still know it.

Scatman John and Macarena were mid-90s and was from my time. If we're specifically looking at around 25 years ago, then I would expect youngsters to know:

Spice Girls - Wannabee
Lightning Seeds - Three Lions
Reel 2 Real / Madagascar - I Live To Move It
Steps - Tragedy
Take That - How Deep Is Your Love
Backstreet Boys - Backstreet's Back
The Battle of Britpop (Blur vs Oasis)
Mariah Carey, most over-played Christmas song of all time!

Possibly a handful of Eurovision entries too such as Gina G.

today has been herb alpert & tijuana brass and a bit of carlos santana.
