We've got a 2026 version of a #13 hit from 1973, called Dancing In The Moonlight. The original was from a band from Olcott, New York. The new version is from Prince Royce, who was born and raised in The Bronx to Dominican parents. The 37-year-old is known for popularizing modern bachata music, which is a style of guitar-based music and dance that originated in the Dominican Republic in the early 1960s. What group did the original? Was it King Crimson, King Harvest or the Kingsmen? We've got the parts of both songs, and the answer, next, on Tuesday For Tuesday, brought to you by Reynolds Market!

Granite countertops and dedicated laundry rooms are great, but new research suggests the hottest home upgrade in the country right now may just be a locked gate at the end of the neighborhood. According to a new survey, half of U.S. adults would pay above market price for a home in a gated or controlled-entrance community, and a third would be willing to pay at least 6% more. But it’s not prestige they’re looking for; it’s security.
The poll of 1,000 U.S. adults reveals that people are willing to pay more for the sense of security they believe comes with a gated neighborhood. Nearly three-quarters (72%) of respondents admit they don’t feel fully at ease at home, even though 69% say crime risk in their neighborhood hasn’t gotten worse.
Only 28% say they feel “very safe” and “genuinely protected” in their own home.
Over two-thirds (69%) of those surveyed already have a security camera or video doorbell, and many are nervously checking the footage all the time.
A third of camera owners admit to checking the feed multiple times a day, and eight in 10 are monitoring their home constantly.
While they’re vigilant about watching, most are surprisingly passive when it comes to acting on something they see.
More than half (56%) say it would take an actual break-in or a visible pattern of crime near them before they seriously invested in physical security upgrades, instead of doing it preemptively.
Still, break-ins are pretty rare, as just 8% of households reported having one or an attempted one in the past two years.
What’s far more common is package theft, with 23% of respondents reporting that a delivery has been swiped by a porch pirate.
