When Locking met the Robot, another street dance was born in the form of Poppin. However, I always cite that if you watch the film; Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968), there are elements within Sally Ann Howes' doll performance, that you might call proto poppin. Here are my 5 unconventional tunes.
BUT FIRST...FOR THE UNINITIATED - POPPIN 101

CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG - SALLY ANN HOWES
THE SONGS
| MICHAEL JACKSON - SHOUT A very good song to test your struttin-tickin and hittin' moves. This unreleased dynamo will wear out the most fit. | SKRILLEX - FIRST OF THE YEAR A song of 2 parts; the verses are tame and skippity, but come the chorus, you'll not know whether to Pop or Krump! |
APHEX TWIN - WINDOWLICKER
With its jittering speed changes and dynamic flows that are wholly unpredictable, this song has so many levels,
that it will not just test your dancing ability, it will test whether you can listen to a tune and react as it progresses.

| JAN HAMMER - CROCKETT'S THEME A melodic, synth-heavy piece of tunage, this song will test your subtlety and interpretation skills. Less is more here. | ROYKSOPP - SO EASY A mid-tempo slice of ethereal sonics, you can either stay firmly rooted to the beat, staccato piano or syrupy vocal. |
