No real taste or connecting thread here except these are the singles/album cuts that seemed to me to show exceptional energy and/or dramatic flair. I tried to avoid the most obvious/timeworn numbers (with a few exceptions) for the lesser-known examples of this particular flavor. These are the draw the shades, turn on the black light, get nekkid, and dance all by yourself WILD numbers.
