Soundtrack for Just Dance 2015 is an eclectic mix of offerings

By Stephany Nunneley

Ubisoft has announced the entirety of tracks included on the Just Dance 2015 soundtrack, and it’s has a wide-range of offerings. One in particular made me chuckle.

Many songs are quite recent, with a few staples included such as You Spin Me Round by Dead Or Alive and even Walk This Way by Run-DMC and Aerosmith; however, Holding Out For A Hero by Bonnie Tyler is the one which made me laugh a bit.

Unless it’s the dance mix version, in which case, I am totally wrong, I found it a bit od dconsidering the other track listings. Sure it was fun to dance to in 1984, I assume, this song was featured during the “dueling tractors with a scoop” scene in Footloose. Don’t believe me? Watch. There’s no way I would ever be able to dance to that song without thinking of that scene. Worst. Duel. Ever.

I’m mostly confused over Frozen’s “Let it Go” being on the list – unless the game allows for interpretive dance.

Okay, my attempt at being funny isn’t working. Just look at the list below.
