party songs: suggestions!

Can - Peking O

ROFLMAO!

B52's!

PFunk!

if it has the letters "DFA" and "remix" in it, that's a safe bet.

Try throwing on "Damn It Feels Good To Be A Gangster" by the Ghetto Boys at your next shindig.

Other songs gauranteed to yield results:
- "Holy Calamity!" by Handsome Boy Modeling School
- "Rock and Roll (Could Never Hip Hop Like This)" also by Handsome Boy Modeling School
- "Just Like Heaven" by the Cure
- "So Watcha Want" by the Beastie Boys
- I agree with "Steal My Sunshine" by Len
- "Lady Don't Tek No" by Latyrx
- "Concrete Schoolyard" by Jurassic 5
- "Deceptacon" by Le Tigre
- "Million Things" by the All Girl Summer Fun Band
- "Just A Friend" by Biz Markie
- "C.R.E.A.M." by Wu Tang Clan
- "Ace of Spades" by Motorhead
- "93 to Infinity" by Souls of Mischief
- "To Tha Left" by Mass Influence and Dynamic Syncopated

These are just a handful of songs that most people could probably get behind, dance and/or sing along to. Of course, it also varies with your friends. My friends would really dig it if someone threw on "Do You Still Hate Me?" by Jawbreaker or "Cannonball" by the Breeders or "Clenched Fist, Black Eye" by 7 Seconds. I could seriously make a list a mile long. It depends on your and your friends' taste.

What about

"Wake Me Up (Before You Go Go)" by Wham

or

"Tenderness" by General Public

?

fela kuti

[wenley]

Absolutely Fela!
And if you haven't heard or seen Antibalas, they do a lot of Fela and Fela sounding stuff. Excellent music from Brooklyn via Lagos!

I also hear that Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings are excellent, fun, and funky.

Sugarman 3 as well.

But Back in Black can't be beat either. And Highway to Hell is always good.

But Sly is the king.

[rockstarfactory]

average white band
the "dead presidents" soundtrack (all old 70's soul and funk)
new radicals
cibo matto
cake
beastie boys "in sound from way out"
propellerheads
daft punk

and the orb, for after the party is over

[teleharmonium]

Guru Guru - "Bo Diddley"
Sun Ra - "Nuclear War"
Beatles - "You Know My Name (Look Up the Number)"
Screamin Jay Hawkins - "I Put a Spell on You"
Deodato - "Also Sprach Zaruthustra"

Nurse With Wound/Stereolab - "Simple Headphone Mind"
Art Ensemble of Chicago - "Rock Out"
Gainsborg/Bardot - "Bonnie and Clyde"
Duane Eddy - "Boss Guitar"

agreed on Dub Narcotic. Would also like to add the Meters. Both great party music bands and great bands in general.

Can - Peking O

ROFLMAO!

Not but really though. My parties are...a little different.

XTC's "Statue of Liberty"!

Not sure what it is, but it's fun.
