Dance the Night Away

I remember when Dance the Night Away was a old David-Lee-Roth-era Van Halen tune. I can admit that I rather liked it then; I'm old enough not to blush about my occasional enjoyment of hair band hits. But the song was due for an update. Along came the Forces of Evil in 2003, with their ska rendition of the song on the album "Friend or Foe".

About Songs on the NPJ

All of the links here at the Not-Pop Jukebox will be to full tracks. If the artist's name is linked, it's to their home page or their MySpace profile where you can listen to some of their other songs. I link to the individual tracks at Amazon, where possible, and I encourage you to purchase tracks or albums to keep around those artists that you enjoy.

If I've posted a song of yours here, it will not be free to download unless it has been made available for such elsewhere on-line. (When you click "Download" in the imeem player, it takes you to options for purchasing the track.) If you still don't want your songs to appear here, let me know and I'll remove them.

If you want a review, please contact me! If I like what I hear, you'll get a review on the NPJ and, if possible, I'll scrobble my listens on Last.FM so that you appear on my various profiles, I'll tweet about you on Twitter, and I may even pick you as the Music of the Month.

I'm going to attempt to keep my labels specific to very general genres. Some of them may be too broad, so if you really disagree with one, let me know. If you've got suggestions, recommendations, or ideas for improvements, I'd love to hear them. Because I listen to so much music, I find myself constantly discovering new artists and songs. I also generally have one stuck in my head, if another isn't playing just then. My taste spreads across many genres and varies wildly from one minute to the next. I never know what will strike my musical fancy. I hope that you enjoy exploring them with me!
