If the headlines are true, and the end of the world really is really upon us this weekend, then there's only one thing I want to do: dance. Sure, the final day on Earth may be taken a little more seriously by others, but I'd like to go out with a bang and move to the beats of some of my favorite party tunes. Here's what I'm cueing up, just in case:
Trey Songz featuring Nicki Minaj, "Bottoms Up"
Believers suggest that an earthquake will trigger the start of the apocalypse on Saturday, so there's a good chance I won't make it to the clubs. On the bright side, I can vicariously live through Trey Songz, who sings of his dance floor escapades atop a thumping beat on "Bottoms Up." Minaj also adds some flavor to the track by showing off her ever-changing rap flow with her alter-ego Roman Zolanski.
Britney Spears, "Till the World Ends"
It's only fitting to throw in this Britney track into the mix because of the song's anthem-like feel and apocalyptic-related lyrics. Now if only I could find an underground party rave similar to the one in her Ray Kay-directed clip.
Gwen Stefani, "What You Waiting For"
Gwen steps up the adrenaline for the lead single from her debut solo album, Love. Angel. Music. Baby. While the dance tune leaves me feeling rather anxious as she offers fans pants, yodels and belting on this electro-pop tune, there's really no better day to put an emphasis on time.
Diddy-Dirty Money featuring Swizz Beatz, "Ass On the Floor"
Diddy and his songbirds may have taken the Last Train to Paris with this Swizzy-produced cut, but the track's racing drums (sampling Major Lazer's "Pon de Floor") has me heading towards the dance floor every single time. Cue my impression of Diddy's Diddy Bop!
Janet Jackson, "Miss You Much"
Ms. Jackson (if you're nasty) was on constant rotation when I was young, so if the world is coming to an end, I'd like to evoke some nostalgic childhood memories with the addition of "Miss You Much." Even though Janet sings the tale about missing a lover, she appears happier than ever as she dances her way through a lavish pool hall in the 1980s black-and-white video.
