The song “Footloose”, originally performed by Kenny Loggins and featured in the 1984 film with Kevin Bacon in the lead role, is synonymous with rebellious dance.

It narrates the tale of a town where dancing is prohibited, a rule that is challenged and overturned by the film’s hero.

Blake Shelton’s 2011 country-style cover of this song melds perfectly with the Lizard’s Angels’ vibrant performance.
