They felt like safe options and didn’t seem very creative compared to some of the other songs chosen by others.

So it was you.

These songs have been used that much because there's basically no other songs to fit the dances I had from those decades.

It was either Mambo no.5 or "I'll be there for you" by the Rembrandts ( The Friends theme tune) 90s Quickstep songs are limited

The only other was "Cotton eye joe" and that's also been done to death. I think I chose the most fun one of the three.

The obvious 80s choice for a Samba is Gloria Estafan song. But I thought I was being more creative going with Lionel Ritchie.

The only other song I could find to fit well for a Samba was "I haven't stopped dancing yet" by Odyssey. And believe me, I searched.

I even commented that I was confident with my choices and that I chose the best options for the dances I had. I thought I was well safe.

Can't believe I got beat, I thought there was a few poor efforts in there, that didn't fit the dances they had.

Not gonna single any out, they speak for themselves.
