"Command" songs!

firepoint525

firepoint525

These are the songs that command you to take action! Even if it's something fun, like dancing, or something easy like "Relax" (Frankie Goes to Hollywood). In most of these, the command is right there in the title, but sometimes it is not, like "Yakety Yak" by the Coasters.

And in a subcategory for this thread, there are all the songs that also tell you NOT to do something. "Do this, don't do that, hey can't you read the signs?" (Five Man Electrical Band).

Any way, "Everybody Have Fun Tonight" (Wang Chung) with this category! 8)
