Got a Divorce party coming up a bit stuck on some appropriate songs to play any suggestions D.I.V.O.R.C.E is only one I can think off Help Please

i will survive - gloria gaynor

OK never done a divorce party but some suggestions:

I'm outta love - Anastacia
Freedom - Wham

If it's a woman:

It's raining men - Weather Girls or Geri Halliwell
Independant woman Pt II - Destiny's Child
I'm every woman - Whitney
Girl's just wanna have fun - Cyndi
Young Hearts Run Free - Candi Staton

If it's a guy sorry only one:

Bachelor boy (again) - Cliff Richard

That's after a brainstorming session with my family (it was almost as if they had prepared them - oops)

I'm sure they'll come up with more - given time

The Drifters - Mexican Divorce
Max Bygraves (and many others) - Happy Days Are Here Again
Edwin Hawkins Singers - Oh Happy Day
Al Jarreau - Breakin away
Freda Payne - Band of Gold
Tavares - I Hope You'll Be Very Unhappy Without Me
Elvis P - Starting Today
Smiths - I Started Something i Couldn't Finish (if they have a sense of humour!)
Kelis - Caught Out There (I Hate You So Much Right Now)
Weird Al Yankovic - I'm So Sick Of You
Weird Al Yankovic - You Don't Love Me Anymore (Very funny lyrics, again; only if they have a sense of humour!)
Beautiful South - Don't Marry Her
Soupdragons - I'm Free
there's a few to add to the list anyway

dependant upon the circumstances:

Get your hands off of my man,
Walking back to happiness
Money, money, money
He wasnt man enough for me
Some guys have all the luck
I can see clearly now
Its a mans world
Missing you
Maneater
I should be so lucky
What becomes of the broken hearted
Bad girls,
If you leave me now
House of fun
Free
A little less conversation


I could go on all night!

By the Way Smulou, welcome to the forum.

IF there was a prize for the most number of long replies to a new members first ever post, I think that you'd have won it. But, unfortunately, there isnt a prize - except the sheer amount of information that you've got back.

Oh, some more idea's


Cameo - Single Life
Lena Lovich - My lucky numbers one
Trad: (?) - Goodbyee
Gloria Gaynor/Communards - Never can say goodbye (but in your case, I made the effort)
Rolling Stones - I cant get no satisfaction
West End feat. Sybil - The love I lost
Harold Melvyn - The Love I lost
Dana - You wont find another fool like me
The Cardigans - Love fool
Salt'n'peppa - Push it
Salt'n'peppa - Lets talk about sex
Salt'n'peppa - Let's talk about you keeping a box of Anadin extra by your side of the bed every night.
James Brown - I feel good
Pulp - Lets all meet up in the year 2000 (But thats year has gone already - YES EXACTLY DEAR)

And of course, if the came about because of an unfaithful partner being snitched/"told on" by someone who saw them do it...and told the other partner.

Windsor Davies & Don Estelle - Whispering Grass.

'You're an ugly bird and I don't know why I married you in the first place' Dunno if it was a track or not, but it's shame if not !!

'I miss you, ....but my aims getting better'

You're one in a million, my wife was won in a raffle

Ads, Are you thinking that song that goes "if you want to be happy for the rest of your life, never make a pretty woman your wife, so from a personal point of view = get an ugly girl to marry you"...
My hubby specially requested the steel band we had at our wedding to play it!!

That's Rocky Sharpe and The Replays..............Shout Shout Knock Yourself Out

Artist was Sunfire

Peter Sellers did a funny version of this and I seem to remember Tommy Cooper doing one as well, and that reminds me of another semi-appropriate song; Tommy's version of We'll Meet Again, which is a song about his girlfriend leaving him. This also has some very funny lyrics.

Goodbye To Love - The Carpenters

"If you want to be happy" was a hit for Jimmy Soul and later Rocky Sharpe and the replays.Has the UK really got to the stage where they have divorce parties?
