A Stupid Barber is probably the best DDR song out there, too bad the steps completely suck...

A Stupid Barber has some lyrics. Only a few though. Radical Faith isn't that bad of a name though. Some more bad ones would be:

Max.(Period)--(Period? Why?)
Waka Laka--(Sounds like an older style laugh)
Witch Doctor--(Just because it's way annoying)
Orion.78(Both)--(Dude? wtf?)
Xenon--(It's an element! not a song!)

A Stupid Barbe's title makes no sense. Same with Every Ma besides 300 as well. Oh, and PARANOiA...

Thats because Dance/house/trance songs' title dont really make any sense (unless they have Lyrics of course) or because the writer was writing about past experiences. lol...im stupid

When you write a song, you get to name the song. Simple as that.

BTW: Radical faith is a great song name.... and Simple Barber has decent steps.

I dunno, DDR song names are pretty good. I mean.... "The Legend of MAX". How much more badass can you get. Even the background voices are great

"Trust in yourself..."
*fast triple trots*
"..and you will find a way..."
*more trots, some switching of feet*
"...you can do anything..."
*solid alternation, sudden foot switching, begins to heat up like mad*
"...you can you can yes you can!"
*absolute OMGWTF speed stepping all over the place*

Then it's like jump jump revolution at the end. Awesome.

That's because many of the songs are made by non-English speaking people who want titles that sound cool rather than make sense.

Sort of like all the people here who have Chinese characters or Japanese in their screen names and have no idea what it actually means. It just "looks cool".

dj TAKA songs often don't have lyrics and to the best of my knowledge Mr T songs never do. Anyways, I think they are just using random words they think sound cool

Tomorrow Perfume is a cool name. Hell, even though I'm a guy, if they sold a perfume called "Tomorrow Perfume", I'd wear it!

(BTW, what is a "civilization mix" anyway?)

You forgot these:
Cartoon Heroes
V
A
Burning Heat
Firefly
Tsugaru (Apple Mix)
Tubthumping

What does Tsugaru mean in Japanese or what ever language it is. I'm guessing that it's Japanese.

It's too early in the morning for me to remember right now, but Tsugaru has something to do with apples/apple trees (Hence Apple mix)

Cartoon heroes is titled so because that's what the song is about.. "we are the cartoon heroes, we are the ones who're gona last forever" etc

Rampage is right on the non-english artists point

Sorry. I didn't know that V was for Vivaldi, though I did know that it was by Vivaldi. Et tu of M. Quick responses, though. Good work, soldiers!
