SD music ideas for next season

[casken]

Is "Supercalafajalistickespeealadojus" an acceptable polka rhythm?

[TwizzlerS]

The Duchesnays used

The Lonely Goatherd from the "Sound of Music"

[DORISPULASKI]

No. It's in ithyphallic rhythm.

Polka is 2/4 with 120 beats per minute.

But that didn't stop coaches from claiming a tango was an acceptable waltz rhythm either.

[TwizzlerS]

...but my favorites from 1992 were:

Rahkamo & Kokko non-Yankee Polka

and

the incomparable Klimova & Ponomarenko

I had never seen either of those! Of course I've seen the FDs of both teams from those Olympics, but never the ODs. I've been missing out, thanks for sharing those

You know that was difficult to use because most of the song had lyrics being sung...I noticed they had to repeat parts of the music over and over.
The definition of cheesy to me...

Catholic mass polka

Oh, that is priceless!

[Aussie Willy]

Yeah, I thought it would work too

Here's the Tractor Polka, which also might work

I agree that would work. I expect to hear it from some couple.

I think the SD will have a lot of Eurovision type music.

[Zemgirl]

I hope in 13-14 it's tango!

Actually, it'll be the Finnstep.

I so hope someone does that Weird Al polka...

[Hanna]

"Alfie" with lyrics: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4w2TeZw7FKQ

OMG I love Alfie and lovelovelove Lily Allen. But I'm not sure how these lyrics would go with the ISU and audiences in general.

[Aussie Willy]

We do have to revisit this particular music choice by the Beiers from 2007

[semogal]

Doris, could you jump ahead a year and give some examples of the Finnstep?

[DORISPULASKI]

It may take me a while.

The Finnstep is based on Rahkamo & Kokko's OD to Borsalino, of course.

But I'm guessing

Girls, Girls, Girls

Grishuk & Platov used it, and it was great

Tanith and Ben used it too:

is next year's Mas Que Nada.

And that we see

Let's Face the Music (and Dance) again too.

I'll try to find some less used items.

To get you all started, this might work

Gene Kelly & the Worry Song

and there are over 300 quickstep songs listed at Ballroom Dancers dot com
