3. I’m so Excited – the Pointer Sisters

I love this song so much, that I just added The Pointer Sisters station to my Pandora! I don’t know why, but ‘I’m So Excited’ makes me want to dance until I drop a few pounds! I think I’m going to add it to my exercise playlist. It’s so upbeat, catchy, and well… exciting!

4. Sweet Dreams – Eurythmics

To be honest, I have no idea what this song is about. All I know is that my head and arms want to do the robot every time it comes on the radio! Vh1 lists it as one of the top songs of the 80s, so I guess I’m not the only one who likes to dance to this beat.

    After I read some of these articles, I honestly wonder if you girls have an editor on board to check your articles before you post them. Wow, Robin Sparkles, really? ...Please get someone to review your articles, someone who will check facts and/or at least ensure that you girls make *some* sense.
