I really like this instrumental. I'm sure that somewhere in the NCAA, someone is doing a techno remix of it.
Plus, there are pretty colors!

Floor Music Friday, straight out of our Italian restaurant
And we're back, folks, with Floor Music Friday!
And there was much rejoicing.
Anywho: this week's pick for potential floor music goes out to the Piano Man.
There is the wistful, classic opening (1:02 - 1:43).
The playful and whimsical center (2:24 - 3:03 -- after 2:48, the vocals cut out).
This rocking part (4:29 - 4:52).
And the conclusion, grander and yet more wistful than before (5:55 - 6:27; 6:49 to the end).
Heck, I may try to cut this one myself.

Floor Music Friday
When I was 16 and super into Incubus, I told my high school coach that I wanted the intro to this song as floor music.
She listened and was "meh" about it.
I see her point. It's repetitive and I ended up sticking with my usual music of dramatic symphonies.
But I like the funkiness and the darker edges of this intro. I think in the beginning, there could be all sorts of interesting body shapes to match the music. A gymnast with a rocker's soul.
Nowadays, with all the music editing software out there (not like I went to high school back when you had to walk uphill both ways in the snow, but it's much more accessible now), I think this music could stand a chance. Cut some of the repetition. Maybe remix it with something else. (If we were in NCAA, it'd probably get inexplicably remixed with Lady Gaga.)
Maybe it will never see the light of day beyond my old Make Yourself CD. But it still makes my Floor Music Friday cut.

Floor Music Friday
Whoa! Maybe I'm on to something.
Thanks to YouTube, Aliya Mustafina's old floor music, sans the vocal assistance. I'm kinda digging it this way. Could make for a lovely, mature, powerful routine.
Here's her routine from Rotterdam, when she won the all-around title:
Too much lingering in the corners. I think that in the lower levels, where there is time to dance, there's potential for fantastic choreography to this music. It's interesting, though, how Mustafina doesn't have to do very much dance to have a presence. She takes ownership by stepping onto the floor.
