"Do You Wanna Dance" is currently my favorite song. I never have really had a favorite song, so I am going to commemorate by reviewing all the covers and adaptations that I have heard. I hope you enjoy!
"Do You Wanna Dance" was written and recorded by Bobby Freeman in 1958. I usually find the original of most songs pretty swell. This one falls in the swell category, but there have been some great covers, too! Also, the animation is super cute!
Next up is Cliff Richard and the Shadows! Cliff's smooth voice is to die for and I'm a sucker for the shadow's harmony! This one might just be my second favorite.
Okay, The Mamas and The Papas's version has got me all weepy. Yes, I want to dance! Please someone dance with under the moonlight!
Bette Midler's version is nice and all but it honestly does NOT make me want to dance.
The Beach Boy's are beautiful and sweet as per usual, in this version. But it isn't really anything special, to me at least.
THIS ONE IS MY FAVORITE. IT MAKES ME WANT TO DANCE LIKE NO OTHER. AND NO I WILL NOT STOP USING CAPS WHEN SPEAKING ABOUT THIS ONE. EVEN IN REAL LIFE.
Thanks for reading my not-so in depth review! This song has also been covered by the likes of John Lennon, BARBIE, T. Rex, Neil Young covered it once live, and MANY MORE!
What's your favorite version? Also, do you wanna dance?
