Song of the Day: 'Give Me Tonight' by Shannon

 

There are worse songs to have stuck in your head all day than this little-remembered freestyle jam by the "Let the Music Play" queen, which like its predecessor also topped the Billboard dance charts.

Although it was a bit of a low-rent knockoff of "Let the Music Play" -- in the same way "Here Comes the Rain Again" was at least a first-cousin of "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)," if not a half sister -- I remember loving this song when it came out when I was in high school. Kind of worked as the book end to "Ticket to the Tropics."

Sometimes called the first freestyle song ever, "Let the Music Play" is unquestionably one of the greatest dance grooves of all time.
