* Welcome to the Black Parade - My Chemical Romance
 +
** NOTE: Everyone stands together and throws up alternating fists during the marching section (it was centered on RA Gaynor who started doing it 18.2 any time the song came on). RAs are known to go hard during this song. The song was also played at every dance in 19.1, with a similar result. Nevermore CTYer [[User:Zoe.feit|Zoe Feit]] joined RA Gaynor in the center, leading the dance circle. The responsibility was unofficially passed on to [[User:Alex_Lewis|Alex Lewis]] (they were told by Zoe that "You better keep this going, and carry on the tradition."). Similarly in 19.2, Gaynor invited nevermore Livi Quiroga to join them in the center at every dance, to which she wholeheartedly obliged. Gaynor also cries every single time the song is played, without fail.
 +
** Editing Note: After two years off from CTY, Black Parade continued in The Year That Was (2022), lead by SRA Gaynor, although without an official choice of student assistant and instead with a group of 4-5 students. After being played along with Stairway and American Pie at every dance for three years, it has been moved to High Holy with the assumption this shall continue, since even Covid couldn't stop The Black Parade.
 +
** As of 24.2, Black Parade has been removed from canon (after being played at the first dance) for unknown reasons, much to the dismay of students and RA Gaynor. It is unclear at the time of this writing as to whether it will continue to be a part of dances in the future.

Played at nearly every dance.
** NOTE:  This song gained popularity in 08.1 after the whole dance floor emptied due to repetitive playing of bad songs. Then RA Tin, a favorite of students due to his Asian ethnicity and unique hairstyle, played the Pokemon Theme Song, causing more than half the campus to fill the dance floor and sing along. It has been played ever since then.

** This song makes everyone cry! Everyone gets in circles or partners and does the same swaying we do during Stairway to Heaven, and Jack Krentz and the RA’s run around the room flapping their arms. We traditionally scream the lyrics “and you bleed just to know you’re alive” because we’re depressed kids.

 +
***While he's having a smoke - press index and middle finger of one hand to lips

** At the request of Rave King [[User:13electrode13|Isaac Uy]], Sandstorm was the rave song at the first and last dances in 19.2, and Finale by Madeon and James Brown is Dead were played in its place at the second and third dances, respectively.
** NOTE: This was officially added as canon by CTYer Rachel and RA Marshall during 07.2 but credit to its popularity is given to Erica Schoneberger (07.1), Ram Narayan (07.1), Steven Braid (07.1), Eric "Smiley" Wei  (07.1), and RA Emily Johnston (07.1 and 07.2)

They were taken down by RAs, and Rainbow Connection was not played at the last dance.

** At 10.2, despite SRA Mike's reassurances that the song would be played, it was not, despite the brief resurgence of the RC posters. Rumor also has it that the camper responsible has since aged out of CTY, which should by no means discourage any other campers from carrying on the protesting posters.

High-Holy Canon

Played at the end of every dance, in this order.

  • Forever Young - Alphaville (*)
    • NOTE: This song is only played at the last dance of the session.
  • Welcome to the Black Parade - My Chemical Romance
    • NOTE: Everyone stands together and throws up alternating fists during the marching section (it was centered on RA Gaynor who started doing it 18.2 any time the song came on). RAs are known to go hard during this song. The song was also played at every dance in 19.1, with a similar result. Nevermore CTYer Zoe Feit joined RA Gaynor in the center, leading the dance circle. The responsibility was unofficially passed on to Alex Lewis (they were told by Zoe that "You better keep this going, and carry on the tradition."). Similarly in 19.2, Gaynor invited nevermore Livi Quiroga to join them in the center at every dance, to which she wholeheartedly obliged. Gaynor also cries every single time the song is played, without fail.
    • Editing Note: After two years off from CTY, Black Parade continued in The Year That Was (2022), lead by SRA Gaynor, although without an official choice of student assistant and instead with a group of 4-5 students. After being played along with Stairway and American Pie at every dance for three years, it has been moved to High Holy with the assumption this shall continue, since even Covid couldn't stop The Black Parade.
    • As of 24.2, Black Parade has been removed from canon (after being played at the first dance) for unknown reasons, much to the dismay of students and RA Gaynor. It is unclear at the time of this writing as to whether it will continue to be a part of dances in the future.

  • Get Low - Dillon Francis & DJ Snake
  • I'll Make A Man Out Of You - Donny Osmond
    • NOTE: This song was first played by RAs Dianna and Shellhamer during 10.2 at the urging of the ETHCb class, and continued to be played throughout 11.2 due to the efforts of The Couples' Couch and the invaluable cooperation of SRA Mike.

  • In Your Eyes - Peter Gabriel
  • It's Raining Men - The Weather Girls
    • NOTE: It's Raining Men was played at the final dance in 19.2 in the "House Wars" set.
  • James Brown Is Dead - L.A. Style
    • NOTE: This used to be dead Canon, but as of 12.1/12.2, it became live again. As of an unknown date, it died again.
  • Juliet - LMNT
    • NOTE: This was officially added as canon by CTYer Rachel and RA Marshall during 07.2 but credit to its popularity is given to Erica Schoneberger (07.1), Ram Narayan (07.1), Steven Braid (07.1), Eric "Smiley" Wei (07.1), and RA Emily Johnston (07.1 and 07.2)
  • Jump Jive An' Wail - Brian Setzer
  • King of Africa - Douster
    • NOTE** 17.1 kids goofed up and created a wall of death so it was banned during 17.2. King of Africa was brought back on a probationary basis during 18.1 with the restriction of no creating said wall of death. Session 1 CTYers seem to have learned from their mistakes and King of Africa is back as canon. (But still be careful!) It wasn't played in 19.1 due to the difficulty of playing it from YouTube when most music during dances is played from Spotify.
  • Like A Prayer - Madonna (**) (was played once at 16.1 and once at 17.1)
  • Moving Like Berney - ISA
  • Neem Een Ander In De Maling - Ome Henk (**) (A Dutch parody of Barbie Girl. This song is often incorrectly thought to be a German remake by Rammstein.)
  • Oh, L'Amour - Erasure
  • Paradise City - Guns 'n' Roses
  • Piano Man - Billy Joel
  • Rock Lobster - The B-52's (**)
  • Satisfaction - Benny Benassi (2nd Session)
  • Sexbomb - Tom Jones (**)
  • Shape of You - Ed Sheeran (moved because this isn't canon, just popular)
  • Shook Me All Night Long - AC/DC
  • Son Of A Preacher Man - Dusty Springfield
  • Surfin' Bird - The Trashmen
  • Tears In Heaven - Eric Clapton
  • The Time Warp - The Rocky Horror Picture Show

(*) - These three songs are the Nomore songs. (**) - These Dead Canon songs are starting to be played again some (just not always that much)

The only songs with an order are those of the High-Holy Canon. They are played in the order written above, at the end of every dance. (Outside the period of 2000-2005, Forever Young is only played at the last dance.)

Forever Young,
