Flashback Friday Song of the Day - Land Of the Living - Kristine W

I got a mirror, a bottle and a pen

The mirror is cracked

The bottle is empty

And my pen don't know where to begin

I've got a picture, a letter, and a song

The picture is torn

The letter is worn

And my tune has been sung before

Another show is over

And the lights have gone down

There's no flowers at my door

No, no callers come around, baby

But I'm glad to be alive and in the land of the living

Oh, I can't believe that I survived

And I'm in the land of the living

Can't believe that I survived

In the land of the living

If I ever found myself in the position to do a drag performance, THIS would be my choice of song.  I love how it starts off like a torch song, then works its way into a frenzied, bass-heavy dance track.  Such a diva track!  (*The album version is slightly better, but there's no video for that.)

Hump Day Song of the Day - On The Floor - Jennifer Lopez, Pitbull

Let me introduce you

To my party people

In the club...

How could I not post J-Lo after posting Shakira yesterday.  A classic amongst dance anthems.  Enjoy...

Song of the Day - Close Your Eyes - Felix Jaehn, VIZE, Miss LI

German Deejay/producer Felix Jaehn's latest creation is this funky little dance jam that's not only awesome musically, but lyrically as well.  Check out Close Your Eyes...

We've got an interesting collaboration on tap for today as Swedish production team Galantis teams up with the legendary Dolly Parton and Dutch rapper/singer Mr. Probz on this uplifting and light-hearted dance tune.  Check out Faith... 

Hump Day Song of the Day - International Woman of Leisure - La Roux

Check out who's back!  It's British throwback artist La Roux with her first new music in five years and it has just as much of an 80's anthem feel as her classic Bulletproof.  Check out International Woman of Leisure...

Summer Jams Song of the Day - This Girl - Kungs

Happy Labor Day everyone!  Today is the unofficial last day of summer and we're going out with a bang.  French deejay/producer Kung's This Girl is one of my all time favorite dance jams.  I dare ya not to bop!  Here's This Girl...

Pride Month Song of the Day - Born This Way - Lady Gaga

Don't be a drag, just be a queen!

One of the most iconic pride songs of all time is from one who, along with many many other in a long line of allies, carries the torch fiercely for those for whom she advocates.  Just yesterday, Lady Gaga made an appearance at the Stonewall Inn, on the 50th Anniversary of the riots, and gave a rousing speech to an adoring and appreciative crowd.  Here's Born This Way...

Flashback Friday Song of the Day - I'm Outta Love - Anastacia

Happy Friday!  It's World Pride Weekend, with big big celebrations all over the place, and especially here in NYC.  Here's a club anthem that I am sure will be played somewhere, sometime over the weekend.  Enjoy I'm Outta Love...

Pride Month Song of the Day - Your Loving Arms - Billie Rae Martin

Good morning and Happy Tuesday!  Here's a classic dance floor filler straight from the gay 90's.  This one got me to be a big follower of German singer-songwriter Martin, at least through her two albums that I know of.  Great artist!  Here's Your Loving Arms...

Pride Month Song of the Day - It's Not Right, But It's Okay (Thunderpuss Remix) - Whitney Houston

Here's a classic club anthem from none other than Miss Whitney.  Enjoy...

Pride Month Song of the Day - Absolutely Not - Deborah Cox

Canadian singer Deborah Cox is somewhat of a gay icon.  With a string of dance hits from the late 90's and beyond, her songs reside in many a gay playlist.  This hit from 2002 appeared on the Queer As Folk, Season 2 soundtrack and for good reason.  The power beats, sassy lyrics and strong vocals were typical sounds heard at the mystical Club Babylon.  Here's a live performance of Absolutely Not...

Song of the Day - Unspeakable Joy - Kim English

Saw some sad news on the Twitterverse yesterday that dance music singer Kim English passed away.  English, 48, died of complications relating to kidney failure.  Though she had several charting songs in the late-90's and early 2000's, she will always be best known for this club anthem, which I actually shared here not too long ago.  Here's Unspeakable Joy...

Flashback Friday Song of the Day - Show Me Love - Robin S

A couple of weeks ago, when I went to see Robyn at MSG, a friend asked me if it was Robin S.  I understood the confusion, especially since they both had songs, in the 90's, called Show Me Love.  Though my love for Robyn came much, much later, it was Robin S. whose Show Me Love still crowds dance floors whenever it's played.  So here we go with that one.  Enjoy...

I Love the 90's Month Song of the Day - My Love Is Your Love (Remix) - Whitney Houston

If tomorrow is Judgement Day

And I'm standing on the front line

And the Lord asked me what I did with my life

I would say, I spent it with you

One of my all time favorite Whitney Houston songs has got beautiful words, an awesome message, and works awesomely as either a sultry ballad or a hot dance track.  Gosh, I've spent so much time in my life dancing to this one.  Here's Whitney... 

And here's the original, slower version, with the video to the song...

Flashback Friday Song of the Day - I'm Gonna Get You - Bizarre, Inc.

Yo deejay pump this party!

Why waste your time

You know you're gonna be mine

You know you're gonna be mine

You know you're gonna be mine

I was jamming out the other day to a great 90's dance playlist on Spotify and then one of my all time favorite dance songs came on.  It's fun.  It's happy.  It's a high energy classic dance anthem.  Check out I'm Gonna Get You...  

I'm gonna get you baby

I'm gonna get you

Yes I am

Song of the Day - Don't Leave Me This Way - Thelma Houston

Oooooohhhh baby

My heart is full of love and it's all for you

Now come on down and do what you gotta do

You started this fire down in my soul

Now can't you see it's burning outta control

Come on, satisfy, the need in me

'Cause only your good lovin' can set me free...

I had planned all week to post this disco classic for Flashback Friday, but alas I was busy moving into my new place and never had the time.  Well just because it's not Friday, that doesn't mean I can't post one of the best dance songs ever.  Here's Don't Leave Me This Way...
