Club Songs

I hit a dance in downtown (Portland) last night that was hoppin pretty hard. With beats, not ladies unfortunately. Despite the offset ratio of guys to girls, the music that was bumpin was pretty legit. When I was lucky enough to find a single girl, I found myself grinding to some of the dopest club mixes I've heard for a while. This is just a quick post, but if anyone out there's reading, link me up to some of your favorite club songs. In return, here's a quick analysis of the hook of what I'm feeling right now:

Caribou Lou -- Tech N9ne

"151 Rum,
Pineapple juice and Malibu.
Caribou get dem all numb.
Make baby girl cum,
out of her shell and raise hell.
We gon party till the cops come.
151 Rum, Pineapple juice and Malibu.
Caribou get dem all numb.
Make baby girl cum,
out of her shell and raise hell.
Don’t stop till the cops come."

Rhyme Scheme: 1, 1... 2, 2... 1... 1... 3... 3... 1, 1, 1... 2, 2... 1... 1... 3... 3... 1. You can already see how this song is easy to rock with.
This song is so "catchy" because of the way the flow is helped along by the rhyme scheme. While there are no multis, the short bars and quick end rhymes make the song easy to remember and feel. While multis and multi-syllable rhymes are good for complex, deep hip-hop songs, quick, easily understood lyrics such as these make for a popular club song. Either way, when you're grinding, you aren't looking for lyrics or depth, mainly beat, and this song definitely has a dope one.
Drop your favorite club songs or any popular ones in the comments.
