U Can’t Touch This
This song is by MC Hammer. It came out in 1990. It was number 1 on the US Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks in 1990. Many people greatly enjoyed this song! This song means that when you’re dancing, nothing can touch you. You’re just too good for someone to tell you that you can’t dance. We chose this song because it has a good beat and it is well-known. We heard this song in the movie, Tropic Thunder.

A Few Good Men
This movie came out in 1992. Neo military lawyer Kaffee defends Marines accused of murder; they contend they were acting under orders. We chose this movie because it is an excellent movie with great actors and we recommend it greatly. Many people liked the movie at the time and still do even today! It was very popular at the time.
