DDR Songs in Real Life

Yeah a lot of people think that DDR was better before it included popular western licenses, but in fact, a ton of mixes had a handful of licenses that were originally popular in America.

I never said that it never included popular licences in older mixes, I just said that they went for more ones that Joe Public was likely to know in newer ones.

Also I swear we were talking about this a week ago on FB. But yeah, even so, I await the day I hear Magic Alec Presents Resonance on Radio 1. BECAUSE I'VE BEEN WAITING SINCE 2001.

Uh what I said wasn't even an argument. I was just pointing it out because a lot of people seem surprised to hear licenses on the radio, especially for songs from older mixes. I was adding to your point, calm down.

I've just had a large Coke, I'm caffeined up to the nines.

At least that's my excuse.

My Basic Technical Drawing teacher from last year uses (or at least used for the last 2-3 years I was there) AM-3P for an introduction slideshow shown at the beginning of the school year.

---

hmmm, no one mentioned Sweet World (itg) being in that TV AD with beyonce, i think it was for either hair, or one of her perfumes.

best school introduction slide show ever and props for you're teacher knowing about ddr songs


that's happens to me two whenever a licence from ddr comes on the radio i'm like that was in ddr

i also believe i herd twilight zone rm mix on a morning show once

Cool. Aside from licenses, some DDR KO's might have appeared in movies.

Well the DDR songs I overheard outside DDR were "THAT'S THE WAY (I LIKE IT)", "TUBTHUMPING", "THE REFLEX", "JERK IT OUT", and some other licenses. To me, I think the most over-used song from DDR to other sources is "Battle Without Honor or Humanity".

Eh? Am I the only one who regularly listens to bemani music constantly? I seriously don't listen to anything else but that now.

no way

I recall a long time ago (before I knew what DDR was) at a Burger King in NYC I overheard a slow song with "lousy vocals" (as my friend commented on it) playing on their radio. then after that a song that I thought was really cute and upbeat followed after that.

When I come back from my trip, my older sister bought DDR EXTREME for PS2 and when I ended up taking my first jab at it, I've come to realize those songs were "So In Love" and "Higher"

I do as well.

I actually remember hearing Sweet World in one of the Geico commercials a few years back.

When I first heard think ya better D in MAX 2, I felt like I had heard it somewhere before; before I even started playing DDR.. can anyone attest to that?

The "rap" is part of a royalty free collection called Masterbits. So anyone who paid for it can use it.

That reminds me that I heard the rap from the beginning of LOVE THIS FEELIN' in a Budweiser commercial years and years ago. Most likely the same situation as think ya better D.

...and the rap from PUT YOUR FAITH IN ME is also heard in a song on Bust a Groove.

YES I REMEMBER THAT

God damn i haven't seen that thing in YEARS

I remember hearing Sweet World on MTV (I forgot what show) about 5-6 years ago...

I think the best way to go about adding any mainstream music is to put dance remixes of it on DDR. I remember playing DDR 2010 and my song choices of Hey Soul Sister, I'm Yours, I Got You, etc were all okay songs and would appeal to many people who like what's popular, but they weren't meant for dancing. However, if Konami decided to include remixes of the songs or covers for that matter(Clocks from HP1), then it may appeal to both DDR veterans and new players in a better way.

Also if you've ever heard the song Love Raspberry Juice by japanese girl group SweetS, the rap sample in the middle of it sounds very similar to the one in Love This Feelin'.

Like I once said in a tinychat session, Suddenly I See was once used in a mayonnaise commercial.

It was somewhat awkward watching it.
