Season 35 of Dancing with the Stars is heating up and last night the remaining 14 couples took the ballroom floor for “Viral Hits Night,” dancing to some of the biggest songs and internet moments to take over our feeds.
And for anyone who’s spent the year deep in BookTok, those viral hits may have sounded especially familiar. As book-to-screen adaptations continue to dominate pop culture, some of the songs featured on DWTS have become closely associated with beloved books and their adaptations, making for a few very fun “Wait, I know this one!” moments.
From Off Campus to Heated Rivalry, here are the viral hits that may have transported you right back to some of your favorite bookish moments.
‘Off Campus’-inspired salsa
‘Girls’ by The Kid LAROI
Tyler Cameron and Sharna Burgess brought some heat to the ballroom floor on Dancing with the Stars last night, performing to the hit song from the Off Campus soundtrack, “Girls” by The Kid LAROI. For those who have seen the Prime Video drama once or twice (or 10 times, we don’t judge!), it’s likely your mind instantly went back to Garrett Graham’s lap dancing moment from Episode 4.
Cameron and Burgess performed a salsa dance to the viral track, showcasing some lifts and even a recreation of the dance from Off Campus, but the judges weren’t entirely convinced. The duo scored a 16 out of 30 though they have advanced to the next round.
‘Heated Rivalry’-inspired Tango
‘All the Things She Said’ by Harrison
Amber Glenn and Pasha Pashkov pulled out this Heated Rivalry hit for their performance on Viral Hits Night and the duo earned a top score. The song, which gained traction after being featured in a club scene in the hockey romance series, was instantly recognizable to book and adaptation fans.
Glenn and Pashkov performed a tango to the viral hit last night, racking up 21 points out of 30 and a tie for the highest score of the night. While their dance may not have been as steamy as the scene from the series, it certainly was an impressive performance.
‘Boys of Tommen’-inspired Waltz
‘Iris’ by The Goo Goo Dolls
Harry Shum Jr. and Jenna Johnson took a viral hit that was featured in the Boys of Tommen book series, which is currently in production for Prime Video. The series is expected to premiere in 2027 and will adapt the first two novels in the series—Binding 13 and Keeping 13. However, “Iris” has a significance in the following two novels, Saving 6 and Redeeming 6, which follows the love story between Joey Lynch and Aoife Molloy. “Iris” serves as their emotional anthem throughout the books.
Shum Jr. and Johnson performed a Viennese Waltz, earning a score of 18 out of 30, but fans are giving the moment all 10s. One fan commented on the dance, writing, “Literally I recorded this dance to rewatch it because I actually couldn’t focus on it in the moment because all I was thinking about was Johnny and Shannon. The series consumes me and I am 1000% ok with that.”
