Dancing with the Stars - Apolo - What WAS that song?

I said in a discussion yesterday that I wasn't sure what the heck the song was that Apolo did his Paso Doble to. It sounded like "Oh my darlin Clementine" to me in several spots. Well I just watched my tape of the results show, and they were the encore dance, and I swear, I am even more convinced that the song was "Clementine." Does anyone know what the song was? Who else agrees that the DWTS music is very strange??

That's exactly what I heard, it just had the Latin tone to it. I thought it was a neat piece of music though, and I thought the dance was ok, even though the judges didn't exactly love it. I think it was Len who said it was a little all over the place or something. I do agree, some of the music they use is strange with the dances, they don't always fit the dance, that's got to make it more difficult sometimes. I wonder if they chose the music or is it chosen for them?

I looked on the ABC website to see if they had the songs listed and I saw some message board comments that said that the show picks the songs, but Joey Fantone had it written into his contract that he gets song approval.

Actually the song is called Carnaval De Paris by Dario G. I do agree in parts it does sound like Clementine. You can see a list of the music used in the show on the ABC site. I agree that some of the music is definitely arranged strangely at times.

I had looked on the site to try to find it and I must have just been not looking in the right place. Thanks for the info, that was really kinda bugging me!

Sometimes I think the music is part of the problem for these dancers. I think it might be easier to choreograph and dance to proper ball room music instead of rearranged pop and rock songs.
