10) Celebration - Kool & The Gang (1980)

The only #1 hit of their career, "Celebration" kept up with the rhythm and soul people were used to from Kool & The Gang. In the 80's, "Celebration" was actually a favorite with many professional sports teams. Unbeknownst to most, Kool and other members of the band were born in Youngstown, Ohio.

9) The Locomotion - Kylie Minogue (1988)

The first of a few songs on this list that did better after being covered. In 1962, the song was first released by Little Eva and reached to the top of the charts in the US. Eva actually stated that she didn't like the new version of her song when Kylie released the cover in 1988.

8) C'mon Ride The Train - Quad City DJ's (1996)

It's one of the few songs from the 90's that really has stood the test of time and reached past age and culture barriers. To present day, people are still "choo-choo'ing" across the dance floor and having a great time. The song single handedly brought back the conga line without the need of tiki torches.

7) Mony Mony - Billy Idol (1987)

The song was originally sung by Tommy James before Billy Idol covered it. It's hard to believe that such a fun and ridiculous song wasn't made in the 80's, but in the 60's with the same guy that performed with the Shondells! In 1987, Billy "rode is pony" all the way to a number one hit.

6) Shout - Otis Day & The Nights (1978)

The 1978 release o a movie called "Animal House" put Otis Day & The Nights on the map. The song was actually written by The Isley Brothers in 1959, but didn't become a cornerstone of party music until the toga scene in the move. And Otis is still jamming. You can actually book him to play at your next event.

5) 1999 - Prince (1982)

In the 21st century, who thought we'd all still be partying like it's 1999? Seventeen years before the date, prince was singing about the millennium. And oddly enough, well after the date we're still enjoying the song. Prince actually wrote and composed the entire song on his own.

4) The Electric Boogie - Marcia Griffiths (1976)

The song is the boogie... the dance is the slide... Marcia Griffiths, a backup singer for Bob Marley performed the song for writer Bunny Wailer. The song is internationally recognized and played in tons of different languages around the world. Unfortunately for Marcia and Bunny, the song was never a Top 40 hit.

3) Love Shack - B52's (1989)

Inspired by a Temptation's song in the 70's, Love Shack was a huge breakthrough for the B52's into US mainstream music culture. Before their late 80's release, the band had a small cult following. And all you Simpson's fans will be happy to know that they really performed "Glove Slap" on the animated hit.

2) YMCA - The Village People (1978)

Only OSU fans have their arms up in the air as much as The Village People did. As much as many loved Macho Man, YMCA gave something to their listeners that not many songs of their time did... They gave guys that couldn't dance an opportunity to get out on the dance floor.

1) Louie Louie - Richard Berry (1957)

The 2nd song from the Animal House movie soundtrack is also one of the most covered songs of all time with over 1,000 versions already released. At the time of it's release, the song was considered highly controversial and was actually investigated by the FBI and FCC for obscenity.
