Semi-Canon/Canon/High Canon

The placements of certain songs in these categories are debated. If you feel a song does not belong in this category, don't delete it, move it to the Dead Canon list.

• Pokemon Theme Song
  • 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.
• Dragostea Din Tei / Numa Numa - O-Zone
• Shook Me All Night Long - AC/DC
• Tunak Tunak Tun - Daler Mehndi
• Sandstorm - Darude
• Surfin' Bird - The Trashmen

• Paradise City - Guns 'n' Roses
• Brimful Of Asha (Fatboy Slim Remix) - Cornershop
• Rainbow Connection - Kermit The Frog (*)
  • NOTE: At 09.2, this song was not played, owing to SRA Clay's belief that it would lead to nomore-only circles. A certain camper protested Clay's policy by taping posters to the front of ATS requesting that the song be played. They were taken down by RAs, and Rainbow Connection was not played at the last dance.
• Nightswimming - R.E.M. (*)
• Like A Prayer - Madonna
• It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine) - R.E.M.
• Come On Eileen - Save Ferris / Dexy's Midnight Runners

• Birdhouse In Your Soul - They Might Be Giants
• I Will Survive - Gloria Gaynor
• Wake me up Before you Go-Go (Jitterbug) - Wham!

• The General - Dispatch
  • NOTE: This was officially added to canon after the "End of the World Dance," the makeshift dance at Swine '09 when Jeanette Kim, Gabe Wisner-Carlson, and Abhinav Gupta played and sang it under the arch, and has traditionally been played and sung by the nevermores at meetmarket ever since.
• What Is Love - Haddaway
• It's Raining Men - The Weather Girls
• Brown Eyed Girl - Van Morrison

• • NOTE: This song was also officially added as canon by RA Marshall during 07.2 but was brought to fame by his 07.1 hall. WE ARE MARSHALL!!!

Dead Canon

Still canon, but RAs have mostly stopped playing it.

(*) - 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.)
