T05 Just Do What the Song Says

Free

with Judy Bradford

Calendar Jan 6, 2026 at 11:10 am, runs for 1 week

Remember those songs that beckoned you to get up and dance, because they simply told you what to do? These songs will spark the early, mid- or late teen that is still in you, recalling a time when you could just move and have a good time with friends. Here are some of the songs: Do the Freddy (Freddy and the Dreamers); The Twist (Chubby Checker); Jump (Van Halen); Shake, Shake, Shake ( KC and the Sunshine Band); and Do the Locomotion (Dee Dee Sharp). This is a one-time dance party, lasting about an hour.
