Completely stole this idea from a La Lechera post on the obituary thread the other day:
[i]"do you wanna dance" died? :(
that's one of my favorite songs of all time, i was going to do a poll of the different versions once but didn't feel like linking to all the versions

I posted something on Facebook later that day, and I keep finding more and more good versions. The options are taken from Wikipedia--anything asterisked may not have made it onto record, but they're all on YouTube. I've listened to about 10 so far.
