There was nothing more awkward than a middle school dance. The boys on one side of the gym and the girls on the other, occasionally making awkward eye contact only to laugh and turn back to their groups of friends. Most of the night was spent trying to get one boy and one girl who liked each other to dance, while the rest was spent stuffing our faces with nachos and pop. But at least once a dance, "Crank That (Soulja Boy)" or some other popular song would play and would break down the barrier between the genders with the "Superman" so that we all left the dance feeling we had a fantastic time. But as awkward as the middle school years were, they did produce some pretty good songs that most of us could probably still jam out to today. Let's see if you agree with my list.
