I Fought The Law - Bobby Fuller Four (1966)
Bobby Fuller Four's recording of I Fought The law dates back to 1966. A popular song at the time, the quick strong tempo is ideal for Rock n Roll dance.
Right from the drum-roll lead in, you know you're about to start rockin' with this track. Once the music starts the feet just can't keep still. You can launch into just about any style of Rock n Roll dance and be sure you'll have worked up a sweat even though the song is fairly short.
This is the type of song to place a t the very beginning of a set to get things moving. If dancers have been sitting down for a while, you need something fiery to ignite some action. Rest assured that this song is enough of a blast to ensure the dance floor will be full in a flash.
Medium fast is the ideal pace for most rock n roll dance styles. It's quick enough to keep experienced dancers fired-up and comfortable enough for beginners to handle some of the more complex moves they're experiment with.
If dancers tell you they can't dance to I Fought The Law, politely suggest that a different hobby might suit them or they need to sober up!
