Evolution of Dance 2 - Random Trivia Answers

• A1) "Here It Goes Again". OK GO's treadmill video has been watched, remade, and parodied countless times (including our kids' not-quite-YouTube-worthy bedroom rendition).
• A2) Marcia Griffiths. The song, called "Electric Boogie" (yes, not "Electric Slide" as Wikipedia's "Evolution of Dance" page refers to) was originally recorded in 1976 and rereleased in 1989 and is still the best-selling single by a female Reggae singer.
• A3) "Soulja Boy Tellem". DeAndre Ramone Way, a.k.a. Soulja Boy Tell 'Em, had a late 2008 hit even though the song was never officially released as a single.
• A4) "Tequila". The Champs shout "Tequila" three times in the otherwise instrumental-only song.
• A5) "Shout". The Isley Brothers' 1959 song was revived in 1978 for the movie Animal House, where it was performed by Otis Day and the Knights (which became a real band because of the movie).
• A6) Japan. The fashion model is also too sexy for New York and Milan, his love, his shirt, your party, his car, his hat, his cat, and the song itself.
• A7) "Pump Up the Jam". In addition to the title song, Technotronic also reached #7 with "Get Up! (Before the Night Is Over)" and #95 with "Rockin' Over the Beat".
• A8) Piccolo. The flute-like instrument led millions of line dancers beginning in 1975.
• A9) May. The late-1964 release topped the charts in March of the following year.
• A10) "Hokey Pokey". The Larry LaPrise, Charles Macak, and Tafit Baker version was released in 1950, but the song traces its roots into the mid-19th century or earlier.
• A11) John Fogerty. The singer and guitarist and his band Creedence Clearwater Revival reached #2 on the charts with the original version of the song in 1969.
• A12) The Tower Bridge. The famous London Bridge from the song "London Bridge Is Falling Down" was demolished in 1831, so the currently more picturesque Tower Bridge was used instead.
