The aforementioned” Lose Control” was only one of Missy Elliot’s many amazing dance hits in the 2000s, and “Work It” was an even more popular one.

39. “Right Thurr” By Chingy

Chingy’s “Right Thurr” was another one of those songs that were inescapable in the early 2000s.
It was pretty much guaranteed to be played at any party or club you went to, and for good reasons – it’s catchy, fun, and easy to dance to.
Some people see the lyrics as pretty nonsensical, but that doesn’t make them any less enjoyable.
40. “Bye Bye Bye” By NSYNC
Song Year: 2000
Before Justin Timberlake took off on his solo career, he was a member of one of the most popular boy bands of all time, NSYNC.
They had a ton of great hits, and “Bye Bye Bye” was one of the greatest to dance to, especially due to the simple dance move that went along with that title line.
41. “Pop, Lock and Drop It” By Huey
Song Year: 2006
One might assume that songs titled with dance commands would have gotten old over the 2000s, but that wasn’t the case at all.
In 2006, Huey released “Pop, Lock, and Drop It,” which became an immediate success because of its stirring, bass-heavy beat and relatively simple and sexy corresponding dance move.
42. “Walk It Out” By Unk
Song Year: 2006
Another fun “dance command song” in 2006 was “Walk It Out” by Huey. Some people found this dance a little more challenging to pick up, but once you got it, it was pretty addicting.
Given its popularity, “Walk It Out” inspired several remixes and freestyles, including one by the legend Andre 3000.
43. “Lean With It, Rock With It” By Dem Franchize Boyz
Song Year: 2006
We can’t talk about dance commands of 2006 without mentioning “Lean WIth It, Rock With It.”
It was similarly addictive and fun to dance to, especially with a group of friends.
It incorporated other related dance moves at that time as well, such as “snap your fingers,” which is a similar move to the title dance, and “lean back,” which Fat Joe popularized.
44. “It’s Going Down” By Yung Joc
Song Year: 2006
Yung Joc came into the mainstream with “It’s Going Down,” and shortly thereafter, it seemed like everyone was making the motorcycle move associated with the chorus.
The repetitive beat is snappy and captivating, so it’s no surprise that people of all ages and walks of life couldn’t resist this hit.
45. “Where The Party At” By Jagged Edge featuring Nelly
Song Year: 2001
Jagged Edge’s “Where The Party At” was a song that was simultaneously relatable and inspirational.
If you were a party goer in the 2000s, it’s likely that you’d call up a friend and ask, “Hey, where’s the party?”
But what made it a little less relatable was the lyrics about partying with wealth and luxury.
However, some people find these lyrics inspirational, motivating them to work hard and get what they want out of life.
