The Best Songs From Dirty Dancing

It's hard to believe that it's been 25 years since the release of Dirty Dancing. To mark the incredible anniversary here are some of the music hits that helped to make it a hit film...

It’s been 25 years since the release of Dirty Dancing starring Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey.

In celebration of a film that never gets old and is loved by many over the world, here are five of our favourite songs from its equally memorable soundtrack.

5. Hey Baby

We have to warn you, Bruce Channel’s song is one of those that will get stuck in your head really easily but as it’s so good and sort of cheesy, we don’t mind so much!

4. She’s Like The Wind

This is probably one of the lesser known songs from the film but we have no idea why. It’s beautiful and Patrick Swayze sings it. What’s not to like?

3. Hungry Eyes

Yet another song from the film that has been covered in recent years, Hungry Eyes is a classic tune by Eric Carmen.

2. Cry To Me

Known as the song that plays during the sex scene between Johnny and Baby, this song has it all: rhythm, soul and romance. In fact it’s prefect for Dirty Dancing.

 

1. (I’ve Had) The Time of My Life

Last but not least, the song that everyone relates to the film. And yes, we also imagine dancing with Johnny on stage when we hear this song by Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes.

Which Dirty Dancing song is your favourite?
