ECS song

[alimarie32]

Hi Everyone,

I just signed up for this forum and I have a question. I'm doing an ECS with my teacher at our next showcase and I'm trying to find a song. Does anyone know where I can find a list of songs of triple time east coast songs? I would prefer a more contemporary song. I really like Christina Aguilara's Beautiful People, but my studio plays it so often I don't want to do that one. But something like it.

Thank you SO much in advance!
Alison

Hi Alison. Welcome.

Just curious. What kind of song are you looking for? Pop? R&B? A swing or jazz standard? What kind of music do you like?

 

[alimarie32]

I like top 40 and country music. So I'm looking for something a bit "pop-y or r&b-y" or maybe even country.

Pop: "Cuz I Can" by Pink (clean version is available on iTunes)
Country: "Turn on the Radio"

I vote for Pink, uh...does that matter?

My current favorite east coast swing pop songs are
Lets Dance by Vanessa Hudges and Its Still Rock and Roll to Me by Billy Joel

Heard Sara Bareilles' "Gonna Get Over You" today and it sounds like it would make a dandy, contemporary triple swing.

A contemporary song (in french), from last year, that I like very much for ECS is:
Prendre l'air by Shy'm (iTunes)

My all time favorite song for ECS is:
Let's Shout by Colin James and the Little Big Band

If you want to stick with Christina Aguilara, "Keeps Getting Better" is an ECS.

"Womanizer" by Britney Spears.

The girl got hot, by Weezer, is a cute ECS (I am pretty sure...)

 

[Foreveradvanced]

Holiday -Green Day
Love Drunk - Boys Like Girls
How Sweet It Is - Michael Buble
The Girl Got Hot - Weezer

There are also multiple songs by Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and The Brian Setzer orchestra that'd work. Hope these help.

I don't, but just wanted to suggest that you ask this question in the "Official Ballroom Song ID Thread" at the top of the page -- people are more likely to see it there. Oh, and welcome to DF!
