SYTYCD Season 7 Premiere Episode Music
Tonight, I need y’all’s help. I’ll probably be running late from work and the audition episodes are always hard. So, if you’re a human jukebox like Marianya or have a Midomi or are just a know-it-all, feel free to chime in in the comments. I’ll flesh out the music list from your comments and my own finds, so keep checking back!!!
SYTYCD Season 6 Premiere Music List
New York Auditions
Opening song: Jimmy James “Fashionista” –
Future of the Left “Arming Eritrea” –
Waiting in line: Kill Hannah “New York City Speed” –
Waiting in line: Alicia Keys’s “Empire State of Mind Broken Down” – Straight from my list of predicted Season 7 Music Two cool points for me!
Some classical with violins – Vitamin String Quartet “Hallelujah” – Thanks to commenter Courtney for pointing this one out. I thought I recognized it! Thanks, Courtney!

Sarah Brinson audition: Ben E. King “Stand By Me” –
Giselle Peacock and Henry Byalikov (Burn the Floor dancers) audition: Fulanito “Chillando Goma” – Thanks to our reader Ryan for this find!!
Mike Perlman: Dead or Alive “You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)” – Marianya said this version is by a band called Orgy, but they’re not on iTunes (that I can see), so enjoy the Dead or Alive version.
Bad dancing montage: (“everybody’s doing what they shouldn’t be doing, everybody’s moving…”) Electric 6 “Improper Dancing” –
Teddy Tedholm (crazy pants from last season, suit this season): Damien Rice “All Dressed Up” – Our reader Anestazia pointed out that it’s a hidden track called “Prague” on the cd “O”. Thanks, Anestazia!
Good dancing montage (Briana De Falco, Daniel Baker): Either Devotchka’s “Queen of the Surface Streets” – or “How It Ends” – or “The Winner Is” – depending on who you talk to. But, clearly, Devotchka. 🙂 The winner is…”The Winner Is,” but I’m gonna leave the other links up so you can enjoy.
Scott Vogel (biohazard/cereal bar guy looking for a date): Madison Cowboy & DJ Robbie & Fabby T “Last Night” –

Hit the floor montage (dancers falling): Ray Charles “Mess Around” –
Wadi Jones (ran up walls, etc) Interview song: Rob Dougan “Clubbed to Death” – according to our reader, Icka.
[Marianya’s Addendum]
Wadi Jones’ Audition Song: ??
Anthony Burrell (in a 2-person “good dancing” montage): Chris Brown “Fallin’ Down” – Thanks to our commenter Erin for correcting my kinda desperate guess (lol, Space Cowboy’s “Falling Down” ).
Megan Davis (the other in the “good dancing” montage): Kate Nash “Nicest Thing” – LOVE this song!
Edward Spots (from New Orleans!! tried out last season, crazy legs, Alvin Ailey): haven’t found yet
Megan Carter (“thicker” dancer who admires Mia): pretty sure it’s Destani Wolf’s “7th Heaven,” which isn’t on iTunes. I think it was created to replace an audition song they couldn’t get cleared. Check out her website, here: http://www.destaniwolf.com/.
[Marianya’s Addendum] If you guys go to the link and scroll further down the page, there is a “Featured Video” provided of Megan Carter’s audition with a caption notating that Destani’s vocals were for her audition.
Miami Auditions
Montage: Ou Est Le Swimming Pool “Dance the Way I Feel” – Thanks to our commenter R2 for naming this song!

Michael Petr audition: Kelly Clarkson “Walk Away” –
Michael Petr yes to Vegas: Bill Medly and Jennifer Warner “I’ve Had the Time of My Life” – (also from “Dirty Dancing,” of course)
Beach montage: Gloria Estafan “Rhythm is Gonna Get You” – ?
Tyrell Rolle (from Liberty City, black guy with crazy hat and glasses) interview segment: DJ Khaled “B*tch I’m from Dade County” – ? Is that a weird guess?
Tyrell Rolle 2nd interview song: Ryan Calhoon “Who We Are” – Thanks again, Marianya, I LOVE this song! Had never heard it!
Tyrell Rolle audition song: Sam Sparro “Black and Gold” – One of my favorites!!!

Bad dancing montage: DJ Sightless “Murder on the Dance Floor” – As suggested by our writer Amanda. I had to guess at the artist. 🙂
[Marianya’s Addendum] Thanks to the artist Dirty Vici, it’s verified that the song used is his version. Please visit his website to learn more about this artist and to listen to his music! Unfortunately there’s no iTunes or Amazon link to this song. 🙁 so we’re keeping the DJ Sightless version for your listening enjoyment.
CSI spoof montage to the CSI Miami theme song: The Who “Won’t Get Fooled Again” –
Jose “Full Deck” Ruiz (thinks he’s better than Legacy, in a sweet way): LTD “Love to the World” –
Next episode will be the L.A./Chicago auditions. I’m so excited! But I need a big ole rest after tonight’s excitement!
