I've been trying to get some good ECS music for our studio. What we have is either the wrong tempo or just a little lame. I've found a few good ones, but I need more. Any songs come to mind?

B-52s – Love Shack
Bill Haley – Razzle Dazzle
Billy Joel – We Didn’t Start the Fire
Buddy Holly – That’ll Be The Day
Captain & Tennille – I’m On My Way
Confederate Railroad – Trashy Women
Fleetwood Mac – Don’t Stop
Foreigner – Feels Like the First Time
Lovin’ Spoonfull – Do You Believe in Magic

Definitely gotta go with the Alex Swings/Oscar Sings songs- very fun with a great ECS beat.
 
Huey Lewis album - four chords and several years ago - lots of good takes on vintage Otis Redding material
 
Pom poms by Jonas Brothers- when this song came on at a recent comp, I came alive....I don't like swing, but this song made me want to do swing
