An older fun and upbeat song for a skating routine?

Question

okay. anyone know the song footloose? that's like what I'm looking for, any suggestions?

Answer 1

Lots of suggestions below, but if you really like Footloose, try going to iTunes and put in Footloose and look for the karaoke versions.  I use those a lot in cutting music.  Sometimes the karaoke version is weird without the words, but listen to them all - there may be one that will work.

Here are some great upbeat pieces for skating music:

Happy Feet (from the movie Shall We Dance)

Those Magnificent Men and Their Flying Machine

Chicago Stomp

Theme from Goonies

Theme from Great Mouse Detective

They're Playing Our Song

Reflections of Earth (Millenium Celebration - from Epcot's Fireworks)

Billy the Kid (Billy Joel)

Answer 2

Something that would fit well for a female skater might be the original version of Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun".

Answer 3

Go right back, and do something like Sing Sing Sing by Benny Goodman
