Comment:

All these songs are in quintuple metre: 5/4 or 5/8. I know very little about music and I had a curioisty. All credit goes to Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_works_in_irregular_time_signatures

And of course the quintessential 5/4 tune is Dave Brubeck's Take Five. Interesting concept, but can you dance to it?

Yeah, you can dance to this? Especially if you have no dancing skill! I love this concept!

hey cool idea. I heard also that the godly Meat Puppets liked to do stuff in 5/8 time as well... not that it'd fit in to well on this mix...

just looked at the wikipedia link and my fell on Kate Bush, "Sat in Your Lap" - that'd fit well here maybe b/w Radiohead and Sufjan...

Mark Petruccelli, I can dance to anything! And I do like your wordplay, too. :)
