Game show music you can dance to

[daveromanjr]

The Price is Right's remix of Bean Stalker has got a pretty good beat on it. I could definitely see people getting down to it.

I wish there were a clear copy of this, I've heard it a time or two on the show and it sounds good but I'd like to see what all got updated.

I always thought "Swingin' Safari" (the original Match Game theme) was one of the first game show themes anyone could dance to; but the one from Stump The Stars, which proceeded MG by three months, had a jitterbug style to it.

Cordially,
Tammy

Bullseye, but mostly for when it gets all Copacabana-like.

[Ian Wallis]

My wife did some dancing to the Las Vegas Gambit theme a couple of times!

[JayDLewis]

Frisco Disco?

[Jimmy Owen]

"Chain Reaction". /thread.

That was the song they played in Supertrain's disco.

Another disco classic used on a Bill Cullen show was "Spring Rain" by Silvetti.  "The Love Experts" used it as its theme.

• Blackout (Crystal Bernard proved it was a very danceable tune during the credits of the finale).
• The Cross-Wits (2nd version of the Clark series, as well the steel drum remake found on the internet)
• Monopoly

There hasn't been enough of any stuff passed around at parties we've attended to make me dance to game show music.

[Casey Buck]

Didn't Chris Lambert nickname the 2002/2003 Lingo theme the Butt Dance?

[DoorNumberFour]

There hasn't been enough of any stuff passed around at parties we've attended to make me dance to game show music.

I'll send you an invite next time.

The theme from Pointless, remixed:

[WhammyPower]

(Nearly) anything by Edd Kalehoff certainly qualifies for this topic.

A case can also be made for these:

• Celebrity Name Game (99¢ on iTunes, but only :30 long)
• The Crystal Maze
• Family Feud '99
• Fort Boyard (the original French theme)
• Hollywood Squares '79
• Legends of the Hidden Temple
• Shopping Spree
• To Tell The Truth '00
• Whammy!
• Win, Lose, or Draw
• WinTuition

Honorable mention goes to the Eazy as 1 2 3 music:

Body Language was pretty rocking.

Classic Concentration works, too, since it was a BL cue originally.

The theme from Pointless, remixed

Or even this one

Come on Down by Crystal Waters  was a minor dance hit for about 12 seconds.

I've actually done this before, but when I was DJ'ing at a now-closed swing dance venue years ago, I would regularly try to sneak in "Swingin' Safari" in my playlist. Like Tammy said, it has a great Jitterbug feel to it. Many people didn't even realize it was a game show theme song. Well, they didn't realize it until I let the cat out of the bag one day. 

FWIW, I also snuck in the 1960's Password theme at that swing venue.... and for shiggles, I also played "Monopoly" once.

/That was during April Fool's Day
//It still got a great response.
///I haven't played it since...

Pass the Buck gets me flailing on a regular basis.
 

He speaketh the truth...I know because I've been known to be flailing away right next to him...I'm sure that we are quite the sight to see...

Now, it probably is not my place to be revealing the secrets of others but since I am also a party to the secret, I suppose that I can be excused for exposing the shameful truth...we actually have a different game show cue that is quickly becoming our spaz-out dance-your-heinie-off music of choice...and it is the win cue from YOUR NUMBER'S UP...the second that music starts, we look as if we are having simultaneous happy seizures...in all fairness, we became hooked on this particular cue due to its association to the companion "Nipsey Dance"..

While I realize this fad has become passe, what I want to be a part of someday is a flash mob that breaks out into dance set to a nice long game show theme medley/remix...the perplexed looks on the spectators would be priceless...
