Singled Out.

TAUWAN'S "TOP TEN" SINGLES OF THE YEAR

FIVE.



The knobs turn on your FM dial. Static. Tone Loc. "Wild Thang." Static. Talk Radio. Static. Fastball. The Way. Static. Huh? What is this? Knobs turn. Clarity. The voices of few kids singing in harmony comes through the speakers:

Do the D.A.N.C.E./1,2,3,4,5!/Stick the B.E.A.T./Get ready to ignite/You were such a P.Y.T. catching all the lights!/Just easy as A.B.C. that's how you make it right!/Do the D.A.N.C.E.!/Stick to the B.E.A.T.!/Just easy as A.B.C.!/Do the DANCE!

The voices rise, the beat bubbles underneath. Bass. A get into the groove like melody. Infectious. Harmonious. A slick piece of ear candy, hell bent on having a good time. Inescapable. Umbrella's quieter, but just as affecting Michael Jackson loving little brother. [And arguably just as popular]Under the spotlights/Neither black nor white/It doesn't matter/Do the DANCE!
