History of hip-hop dance
The most recognizable popping move is the moonwalk . In 1983 , Michael Jackson performed the moonwalk -- called the backslide in popping context -- on ABC 's Motown 25 television special . This performance popularized the moonwalk all over the world . However , it was not the first time the backslide had been performed on television or on film . Cab Calloway performed the backslide in 1932 , and Bill Bailey performed it in the movies Cabin in the Sky ( 1943 ) and Rhythm and Blues Revue ( 1955 ) . In 1982 , during a performance in London on Top of the Pops , street dancer Jeffrey Daniel performed the backslide during the song `` A Night to Remember '' .
Alabama (American band)
The band 's incorporation of rock and roll into their sound was an inspiration for groups such as Restless Heart , Shenandoah , Exile , Diamond Rio , Lonestar , Ricochet , and the Mavericks . According to Irwin Stambler and Grelun Landon , authors of Country Music : The Encyclopedia , the group 's diminishing sales in the late 1980s reflected competition from country bands that would not have received recognition had it not been for Alabama paving the way . For their part , these groups credited Alabama with providing a massive influence on their careers . Prior to Alabama 's unprecedented chart success , most country hit singles belonged to solo artists or duets . Many Alabama singles and albums represented crossover appeal on the pop charts .
Pumped Up Kicks

Weezer also played the song during their grandstand performance at the Minnesota State Fair on September 3 , 2011 . Mark Foster said in reaction , `` Nine years ago , I met Rivers Cuomo at a party , and I had my acoustic guitar with me . He taught me how to play ' Say It Ai n't So ' . So nine years later , to watch him play one of my songs - it was wild . I ca n't wait to meet him and remind him of that story . '' Peruvian sinder Tongo also recorded a cover in 2017 , called Pan con ají ( Bread and peppers ) , in allusion to a vague pronunciation with Spanish phonemes . In 2017 , French DJ Klingande released a song titled `` Pumped Up '' using the same lyrics in the chorus of the song .
Amy Winehouse

'' Lady Gaga credited Winehouse with paving the way for her rise to the top of the charts , explaining that Winehouse made it easier for unconventional women to have mainstream pop success . Raphael Saadiq , Anthony Hamilton and John Legend said `` Amy Winehouse was produced by people who wanted to create a marketing coup . The positive side is that it reacquainted an audience with this music and played an introductory role for others . This reinvigorated the genre by overcoming the vintage aspect . ''

It is a variation on the Charleston with elements of the Roger Rabbit and the Running Man . The Running Man is one of the most recognizable hip - hop social dances . According to Essence magazine , Paula Abdul created the Running Man and taught the dance to Janet Jackson when she was working as her choreographer during Jackson 's Control era . Jackson further popularized the dance when she performed it in her 1989 music video `` Rhythm Nation '' , and rapper MC Hammer kept the fervor going when he started to do the Running Man in his performances . The pop duo LMFAO brought the Running Man back into the mainstream with their song `` Party Rock Anthem '' , which was named the 2011 song of the summer by Billboard.com . The accompanying dance in the song called The Shuffle combines three social dances : the Running Man , the ( half ) Charleston , and the T - step .

Bee Gees
Fever was No. 1 every week ... It was n't just like a hit album . It was No. 1 every single week for 25 weeks . It was just an amazing , crazy , extraordinary time .

In the long run , your life is better if it 's not like that on a constant basis . Nice though it was .

American popular music
R&B remained extremely popular during the 1950s among black audiences , but the style was not considered appropriate for whites , or respectable middle - class blacks , because of its suggestive nature . Many popular R&B songs instead were performed by white musicians like Pat Boone , in a more palatable , mainstream style , and turned into pop hits . By the end of the 1950s , however , there was a wave of popular black blues - rock and country - influenced R&B performers gaining unprecedented fame among white listeners ; these included Bo Diddley and Chuck Berry . Over time , producers in the R&B field gradually turned to more rock - based acts like Little Richard and Fats Domino .
Praying (song)

'' Weiss of Billboard similarly commended the track , saying : `` It would hard for even the biggest pop agnostic to not be rendered speechless by Kesha 's new video and song ' Praying . ' '' In a separate Billboard article , Gil Kaufman thought that the song is `` pure ecstasy for your ear buds . '' Time 's Raisa Bruner called `` Praying '' `` powerfully emotional '' , adding that `` when she breaks out into a flawless whistle tone , it pretty much seals the deal : this new Kesha is stronger than ever , both as an artist and , seemingly , as a human .

He added that he `` would listen to the playlist on my speakers around the house -- sometimes I would be inspired to create a scene around a song , and other times I had a scene that needed music and I would listen through the playlist , visualizing various songs , figuring out which would work the best . '' Most of the songs were played on set to help `` the actors and the camera operators find the perfect groove for the shot '' , with David Bowie 's `` Moonage Daydream '' the only song chosen and added during post-production . Gunn also said that the opening scenes were designed with `` Hooked on a Feeling '' in mind ; however once Gunn discovered `` Come and Get Your Love '' , the song used in the sequence , Gunn felt it was a `` better fit .
