This song practically demands you dance on a table. Admit it, you’ve attempted the quick-step shuffle at a wedding reception while belting this out.

The eternal question, presented in a catchy stadium-favorite format. It’s a puzzler wrapped in a Caribbean beat.

The unofficial anthem for, well, bad days. Remember, you can’t have a bad day if you’re singing about having one.

The synthesizer, the beat, the drama — this ’80s hit can still fill a dance floor.

Whether you know the actual steps or just flail around, when “Macarena” comes on, you’re part of the party.
