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

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...

Glory's Sun

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

MrJones

Glad I didn't say: all decades, even from the eighties
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

Let Me Clear My Throat-- forget who sings it

alec

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

Bacchanal

*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).

MrJones

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.

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!

I have some pretty good party associations with

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

snowy

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)
