Party music

[Mr. Peanuts]

Ok, I really do recommend Happy Mondays - Boys are Back in Town.

Pretty danceable with a good beat

[Fit of Rage]

Polyesterday by Gus Gus is a good funk beat to play at a party.

[Sleepy Weasel]

I was listening to a song like two days ago and I had the thought "this would be the absolute perfect song to play at a party." I now have no recollection of what that song was. I'll let you know if I come across it, I feel bad now.

You could uh try some hiphop. Two songs that are impossible to dislike are Blackalicious - Deception and Mos Def - Ms. Fat Booty although I doubt it would really fit in well with the rest of your music so I'd probably pass on those.

The Flaming Lips - She don't use jelly is a great song to drunkingly sing along to by the way, in my opinion. I'd enjoy it if I was drunk and at your party. Maybe that's just me.

PJ is right though, it's all about crap songs that the girls know the words to and can sing along to. Overplayed rap songs and the like. But if you're set on the woman side, screw it, stick with the stuff that's accessable but you won't hate.

[kites]

I'd have to add.

Daft Punk - Technologic
And
Gorillaz - Feel Good Inc

Very addictive songs.

Thanks for the list also Zeus, I've been needing some songs in that genre.

[za gophar]

beck - high five
311 - come original
chumbawamba - tubthumping

[Jason]

lcd soundsystem - daft punk is playing at my house

[eehh]

depends on the people coming to your party, but you say beasty boys. they have a lot more good music than intergalactic.

audioslave, ramones, acdc, iron maiden, to die for, the von bondies (probably not what your looking for, so i dont know why i write this :S damn murphys!)

[ZeUs!!]

Yeah I probably won't be playing much Audioslave or Iron Maiden at this particular party

[genocidal]

Nirvana - Smells like Teen Spirit
Snap! - Rhythm is a Dancer
Vanilla Ice - Ice Ice Baby
Spice Girls - Wannabe
La Bouche - Sweet Dreams
Sir Mix-a-Lot - Baby Got Back
Haddaway - What is love?
MC Hammer - You can't touch this
Corona - Rhythm of the Night
The Real McCoy - Runaway
Ace of Base - All that she wants

and fuck Zeus and his anti-child molesting taste in music because Thriller will always be the ultimate pop/party song with an awesome video!

[GoldenPlums]

ZeUs, do you think there's a forum somewhere where your flatmate posts stuff like "he's looking for cutlery again.., I'm just gonna put on some tunes"

Anyway, it's your birthday so play things just to piss people off. If they complain throw them out for being sober enough to notice.

Failing that, drop acid and listen to hawkwind.

[Cylor]

Daft Punk all the way.

[ZeUs!!]

I'll be taken at the party so I'm not looking to impress anyone (which is a relief)

Sorry, I was just reading over this thread again and I don't want to give the impression sex is something I phone up and arrange a few weeks in advance - my friend is coming down for the party

[Jeansi]

You can never go wrong with a little bit of Blondie. B)

[scumbag]

no party is complete without some Beatles tracks in there, everyone knows them and with a few drinks downed everyone will probably sing along :groovy:

if you want that to happen that is

(dont forget The Who, done some fantastic tracks over the years)

[Ilya]

personally i like to get my groove on to Lou Bega's hit #1 classic Mambo No. 5!
