Dana Fields' Playlist for The AMC Afterparty
( denotes: check out the song!)



  Satisfaction
The Rolling Stones

The ultimate rock and roll rebel dance song. This song was banned from my sleep-away camp when I was a girlthe counselors were ordered to turn off the radio when it came on, which only made us want to listen and dance to it even more (which we did secretly in our bunks at night).

 

 

 September

Earth, Wind and Fire
I think I danced to this song at every single party I went to in New York for a time. When this song was on the charts my then boyfriend loved this song and I can remember playing it over and over again and dancing around my apartment. Its impossible to not get up and dance when you hear this song.

 

 

 Dancing in the Street
David Bowie/Mick Jagger

I love the Martha and the Vandellas version, but the cover of this song for Live Aid is rock and roll dance music perfection. I remember watching the video during Live Aid, all the while dancing in front of the TV.

 


 Super Freak
Rick James

Nothing defines the late 70s and the Studio 54 era in New York City better than this song. A night out in New York in my club days was not complete without a turn on the dance floor to Super Freak.

 Hey, Baby
Bruce Channel

Every single party I went to at Duke University ended with this songit didnt matter who or what or where, every party ended with this classic hit and everyone danced.
