All time favourite party songs
 

I'm very curious about everyone's party songs that never die. No restrictions on genres or decade :crazy:

1 Beasty Boys: Sabotage
2 Basement Jaxx: Where's your head at?
3 Wu Tang: Shame on a nigga
4 New Order: Blue monday

Will post some later on, at work now...

Rick Springfield--Jessie's Girl
Don Henley--Boys of Summer
Beastie Boys--Party!
Tears For Fears--Shout

80's music is the best party music for some reason.. IMO of course :p

Glad I didn't say: all decades, even from the eighties :lol:
No prob mate, like the eighties to, no matter what most of us say about it.
But maybe the rather cold, electronical thing about it.

Anne Clarck: Our Darkness hmmm

Best Party Song of all time is by far Blur - Song 2!

hehe, everyone knows that song :P

Elvin Bishop's 'Traveling Shoes'. If that doesn't get everybody up and hopping around, than they're just fucking dead!


OK, OK, I know...I'm old................................. :lol:

Working for the Weekend - Loverboy
Love Shack - the B-52s
Whip It - Devo
Billie Jean - Michael Jackson (or really anything from the Thriller album)
Come on Eileen - Dexy's Midnight Runners

"Everybody have fun tonight...
Everybody WANG-CHUNG tonight!" - Wang Chung

My girl wants to party all the time - Eddie Murphy

Safety Dance - I have no idea
"You can dance, you dance, everybody look at your pants." - Homer Simpson

My three faves:

Hey Ya! - Outkast
We Built This City - Jefferson Airplane (Starship?)
I Wish - Stevie Wonder

Depends on the people and the size, but:

Shout - Otis Day And the Knights (or whomever did it)
Back That Ass Up - Juvenile
Tootsie Roll - 69 Boys
Louie, Louie - The Kingsmen
Fat Bottom Girls - Queen
Flagpole Sittah - Harvey Danger
My Own Worst Enemy - Lit
Dixieland Delight - Alabama

...and for almost any party

"Colt 45" and "Because I Got High" - Afroman
All My Rowdy Friends - Hank Williams Jr.

I don't like this song but people go crazy for it at parties
Mony Mony - Billy Idol

Let Me Clear My Throat-- forget who sings it

DJ Cool & Dougie Fresh do Let Me Clear My Throat

In my opinion, its all about hip-hop or electronica, here are a few:

Naughty by Nature - OPP
Eminem - One Last Time
Eve - Let Me Blow Your Mind
Jay-Z - H to the Izzo
Jay-Z - Big Pimpin'
Joe Public - Live and Learn (gotta kick it old school sometimes!)
LL Cool J - Loungin'
Notorious BIG - Hypnotize
R. Kelly & Jay-Z feat. Lil' Kim - Shake Your Body
Snoop Dogg - Lodi Dodi (or really anything off of Doggystyle)
2Pac - I Get Around & California Love

Techno wise, anything like mushroom jazz or good house like Dimitri from Paris or Terry Francis

*DJ Kool
I only know because I actually own the CD for some reason or another. Let Me Clear My Throat is the only thing worth anything on the CD. Great party tune!

Almost anything by George Clinton & P-Funk, but "Flashlight" especially.
NIN - Closer
Dr. Dre - The Chronic (entire album)
Jay-Z - Dead Presidents
Sublime - Doin' Time, What I Got, Santeria, Smoke 2 Joints, Date Rape, Pawn Shop

I'll second Fat Bottom Girls, and add Bohemian Rhapsody (especially after everyone has had a few and feels like singing).

Some more fav's

House of pain - Jump around
GZA - Liquid swords
Lil Kim - Ladies night
The beatnuts - No escapin this
Amy Winehouse - Amy

Oh, and I'm looking for this song performed by Lee Scratch Perry, the one with the lyrics from the Prodigy song "Outter Space" .... I'm gonna put on a

The Hacker - Flesh and bones
Mitsu - Hush
Vitalic - My friend dario (dime prefers new beat mix)
Tutto Matto - You
Moloko - Sing it back (MOusse T remix )
..... (damn band names ecapes me) - White Horse (don't ride the white pony :-) )

The Raveonettes: Love in a trash can
Pennywise - Fuck Authority
The Datsuns - Motherfucker from hell

Hmmm, hopefully I'll hear some of them tonight together with my favourite pint of beer.

man everyone forgot
Party HARD by Andrew WK
in all seriousness though
Most bob marley tracks
and depending on the party Frank Zappa especially if its on 8 track
dr dre 2001and chronic

most people think I'm insane, but one of the all time greatest party songs IMO is ... Humpty Dance - Digital Underground

Thunderstuck - ACDC

We take a drink from whatever you're drinking everytime they say "Thunder" .. it gets wild ... they say it like 34 or 35 times in the song ... good times

Chemical Brothers - Hey Boy, Hey Girl
Faithless - Insomnia
House of Pain - Jump
Blur - Stereotypes
Asian Dub Foundation - Charge

are you sure that's the name of the song ? I Can't find it on iTunes :(

[I just use itunes to listen to the songs for 30 secs to see if its worth d/ling :D ]

good selections everyone, esp. you bacc, here's mine - although I'm not a deejay...

the roots - the seed 2.0
nerd - in search of [most of the album]
darude - sandstorm [techno]
eazy-e - college girls are easy
pod - rock the party
311 - creatures
DJ Shadow - [just various stuff]
Inner Circle - Sweat
k-os - superstarr - part zero
Panjabi MC - Mundian To Bach Ke


plus a few more than i'm probably forgetting.

Yeah, but you made me question myself.

Amazon.com link.

It's on Reasonable Doubt, which is an AWESOME CD (hip hop classic in my mind), but the only one amazon seems to have is a reissue I'm guessing, because it's called Dead Presidents II [New Lyrics]... The video always had different lyrics than the song on the CD, so I'm guessing maybe that's why they redid it.

If you have too much trouble finding it, PM me, and I'll see what I can do.

Spirit of the West: Home for a Rest.

You'll have to excuse me, I'm not at my best
I've been gone for a month
I've been drunk since I left
These so-called vacations
Will soon be my death
I'm so sick from the drink
I need home for a rest...

There is no song that is better for good ol' drunken Canadian dancing!

Any Andrew W.K.





:)

Gimme the weed - Bounty Hunter

Hate it or love it - The Game

Blueberry Yum Yum - Ludacris

Gasolina - Daddy Yankee

Mentiosa - Azul Azul

Mesa Que Masa Aplauda - Climax

All definately fun to hear at a party.

I have some pretty good party associations with

B-52s - Rock Lobster
Jay-Z - Big Pimpin'
Missy Elliot - Get Ur Freak on

B-52s--Love Shack
Donna Summer--Hot Stuff
Hot Chocolate--I Believe In Miracles
Justin Timberlake--Senorita, Like I Love You, Rock Your Body
Kylie Minogue--Come Into My World, Love At First Sight, Slow
The Killers--Midnight Show, Mr. Brightside, Somebody Told Me
David Bowie--Let's Dance
Daft Punk--Da Funk
Def Leppard--Pour Some Sugar On Me
Franz Ferdinand--the entire album
Lil' Kim--How Many Licks
Christina Aguilera, Mya, Pink and Lil' Kim--Lady Marmalade
Robbie Williams--Rock DJ
Madison Avenue--Don't Call Me Baby

and because I like to mix things up a bit...
Pulp--Common People
always surprises the hell out of people...William Shatner's cover of it also throws people for a loop...
and
Leonard Nimoy--Ballad of Bilbo Baggins
always scares the crap out of everyone present.

Ok, so I think I have already outted myself as a complete dork (and rabid feminist), might as well seal the deal... It's not a party until three very burly former football player friends of mine singing along, kaoroke style to Helen Reddy's I am Woman (and the sad part is, they know the words by heart)

(Doesn't matter what kind of mood I am in, that will send me over the top laughing)

A few years back in college Eazy E's "Gimme That Nutt" used to get shit crazy. The Gap Band's "Party Train" is one of my favorites, and I have to agree with J Dawg on "The Humpty Dance"...
