Tough to tell when some of the ads that only had graphics and not real people in them were from. This was a tough one.

It's that time folks. You know. The day after The 4th of July. When you partied down and ate all those goodies, knocked down a beer or half dozen, drank Johnny Walker dry, BBQ'd those fat juicy steaks, ribs or chicken. Even this morning when you are waddling around and have a Egg McMuffin, apple pie and on over to Race Track and got that special 24 oz coffee that the machine grinds up the beans. Then grab a huge Cinnamon roll covered in thick white frosting . Heaven right? Yeah for the time being. Now to lose those 20,000 calories you took in. I've put together a dance music workout routine that you can move your booty to. So kick those legs, move them arms and flap around. Let's get started. Here are some good workout music to get your blood pumping and your Mojo a working.
Bend Me Shape me. That's what we intend on doing. Off that swivel chair and bouncing to the music. Yes up down over and around. That's it.
.
I know what someone (a few) is gonna say about this one. What's with the Disco man! If you wish you can sit this one out but me I am gonna give it a little jive. I can just pretend I'm John Travota a whole 3 minutes. It's not like every other tune is Disco, come on. Step it! .
Yeah you know this one is for you. Aren't we all some sort of Village People. So say YMCA and hey you moving away.
.
Momma Mia its-----ABBA. Get those arms and legs moving and Mamma Mia isn't this fun.
.
Come on , come on do the Loco Motion with me. .
Cubby says let's twist again. Around and around . . Whew I am gassed

True but did not want to leave a music station. Just picked at random in 2 shakes of a lambs tail. Richard Simmons I'm not
Great selection Alan 👍 BTW, there ain't NOTHING wrong with John Travolta, Bee Gees or Saturday Night Fever 😎😉
Ty ty. Well there's a few here that don't Disco. I can live with it. To think that JT does not appeal to everyone. Come on now, get down on it Now where did my shades go .
You got 10 out of 20.
I got some just from the fonts and hair styles. Others I guessed and guessed wrong.

I got 10 out of 20 this was a pretty difficult quiz
I gotta plan better vacations! 😄 Maybe next year 😉
9/20 so not good. I need a bigger screen to look at these ads! Didn't go with my gut when I should have.
Some were not clear enough or not close enough to get a good enough look for a clue. Suggest enabling zoom feature on the pics.
Gah! 11/20.
