Prom Spot - The Ultimate Prom Playlist by prom-spots.com

What's a prom without killer songs that get everyone out of their seats and movin' on the dance floor? You may need to kick off your heels for this one.

1. "Party Like a Rock Star" -- Shop Boyz
"Totally, dude!" Nothing like prom to make you feel like a rock star.

2. "Livin' on a Prayer" -- Bon Jovi
You know your date has mastered this song on Guitar Hero; now let's see him rock out in real life.

3. "Flashing Lights" -- Kayne West
With all those pictures you've been taking, it may feel like you're being chased by paparazzi.

4. "Dancing Queen" -- ABBA
Gentlemen, step aside. Ladies, sing along and show off those dance moves (feel free to steal some from Mamma Mia!).

5. "Forever" -- Chris Brown
Did you know that "Forever" was actually an extended version of a commercial jingle for Doublemint gum? We love this track's irresistible, poppin' beat.

6. "Buttons" -- Pussycat Dolls
Hey there "sexy mama," you know you've been dying to strut like a Pussycat Doll ever since you put on that dress.

7. "Jump Around" -- House of Pain
Guys can't resist this song -- even the ones who can't dance. They can get out all their guy energy and compete for the highest jump.

8. "No Air" -- Jordin Sparks
With the combined vocal forces of a sultrier Chris Brown and Idol-winner Jordin Sparks, the heartfelt lyrics, and soft melody, this song has everything you need for a perfect slow dance.

9. "All My Life" -- K-Ci & JoJo
These guys always seem to get it right. Grab that special someone for this one…sing it, gentlemen!

10. "Thnks fr th Mmrs" -- Fall Out Boy
Okay, this song may be more jaded than romantic, but this one is great for really yelling those lyrics and singing your heart out. "One night and one more time. Thanks for the memories, thanks for the memories!"

11. "Glamorous" -- Fergie
Spell it out, girl! G-L-A-M, O-R, O-U-S! How much time did you spend on your hair and makeup? That's right, you've earned this one!

12. "Crank That (Soulja Boy)" -- Soulja Boy Tell'em
Get up there and perform your best version of the Soulja Boy dance, but be careful in those heels!

13. "Misery Business" -- Paramore
Hope you used lots of bobby pins because this head-banging track is going to put that hairdo to the test.

14. "Take Me Home Tonight" -- Eddie Money
If you don't already love this 1986 hit song, you will. Oh, you will.

15. "Macarena" -- Los del Rio
How could we leave out the song VH1 ranked the "#1 Greatest One Hit Wonder?" Besides, this is a dance even your date can't mess up.

16. "The Rockafeller Skank" -- Fatboy Slim
"The funk soul brother?" "The funk song rubber?" Whatever the lyrics, they don't matter. This is the ultimate dance song. See She's All That for ideas.

17. "The Way I Are" -- Timbaland
Ever seen this music video? All Timbaland does is stand there and make arm gestures, yet he manages to look sexy. This is an opportunity for your date to "up" his hotness.

18. "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)" -- Michael Jackson
You know your date looks pretty charming trying to moonwalk in that tux.

19. "American Boy" -- Estelle
This song has such an irresistible beat, so get your "American Boy" out of his seat and on to the dance floor.

20. "Hot N Cold" -- Katy Perry
Surprisingly no arguments here, this playful song will get everyone jammin' on the dance floor no matter how your night is going.

21. "SexyBack" -- Justin Timberlake
We don't care how many times you've heard it -- JT can still bring sexy back one more time before graduation.

22. "It's Raining Men" -- The Weather Girls
While this song is documented as Homer Simpson's favorite, most of your dates will probably hightail it for the men's room. But no matter, form that dance circle and sing it, ladies!

23. "Shout" -- The Isley Brothers
So it's an oldie, but "wa-a-ait a minute!" We still think it's "aaaaallllllllright! Yeah!"

24. "Shake It" -- Metro Station
Nothing like a song that really spells it out for you. Now shimmy those shoulders, move that behind, and "shake, shake, shake, shake, uh shake it."

25. "Don't Stop the Music" -- Rihanna
Prom will go by fast, so a little plea to the DJ couldn't hurt: "Like the way you do this, keep on rockin' to it, please don't stop the music."

26. "Low" -- Flo Rida
Apple Bottoms jeans or not, bend those knees because you gotta "get low, low, low, low, low low low low" for this one.

27. "Don't Stop Believin'" -- Journey
You either love Journey or love to hate them, but either way, this song ranks as a top seller on iTunes (only a mere 28 years after its release). Obviously, Journey's still got it goin' on ("and on and on and on!").

28. "I'll Stand by You" -- The Pretenders
Made popular again by Carrie Underwood's new version of this classic, this song has all the pure devotion you need to make one touching slow dance.

29. "The Lady in Red" -- Chris de Burgh
Okay, maybe you aren't wearing a red dress, but ignore the chorus and rest your head on the shoulder of that hottie you're swaying with.

30. "I'll Be" -- Edwin McCain
Remember this song in A Cinderella Story? It really makes you want to latch on to a cute boy or at least close your eyes and imagine your date is Chad Michael Murray.
