The floor would always get moving whenever I'd include her most popular song into one of my DJ sets.  Twit would always say, "You know, they're all dancing to this because of Dirty Dancing."  I didn't know, I assumed that they all just had great taste . . .

I love that song! The Dirty Dancing soundtrack had some great songs, just be glad it turned so many onto things like the genius of Sylvia Robinson!
