What could a different title have been? (Patrick hated the DD title)

According to an interview, Patrick Swayze hated the title "Dirty Dancing" and said the rest of the cast did, too. They tried to get it changed.

What if they had succeeded? What could a different and/or better title have been?

I think I might have simply gone for "The Time Of My Life"

I can see that this is going to get out of control. 😃

Dirty Dancing IS a silly title, but for some reason it worked!

I agree Time Of My Life would have been better suited. But honestly does it sound as exciting as Dirty Dancing? Not really. At this point-30 years later-it's hard to imagine it being called anything else.
