'Can You Feel It,' the Jacksons
From 1980's 'Triumph'

With a choral opening so grand you could be fooled into thinking you're listening to an altogether loftier genre, you hardly have time for a breath before 'Can You Feel It' locks into that familiar disco-infused groove. Vocals are handled by Randy and Michael, with the latter's signature whoops lighting the whole thing up and sending shivers down the spine.

I love this song because it simply couldn't be any dancier, it has some nifty little guitar licks and because it showcases the vocal prowess of one of the 20th century's greatest performers. If you really want your mind blown, you should check out the video for the song with its dazzling creationist theme. As a kid, it scared the crap out of me. Epic stuff.
