As the Xmas party season is only 3 weeks aways, I thought it might be interesting to know which 5 songs members rate at their main party favourites, but exclude the xmas ones.



Ok here's mine

Dexys - Come on Eileen
Mud - Tiger feet
Chubby Checker - Let's Twist Again
Village People - YMCA
Tony Christie - Is this the way to Amarillo

Grease mix
One and only - Chesney H
Do you love me - Contours
December '63 - Frankie V
Merry Christmas - Slade

Plus the above mentioned, all quality tunes

Is that not xmasy?

Simply the Best - Tina Turner
Beat It - Michael Jackson
Summer of '69 - Bryan Adams
Wake Me Up Before You Go Go - Wham
I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) - Proclaimers

Aaaaaaaagh didn't see the last bit, so in lieu of Slade ......................... I will go for a new party anthem, a good old sing along, a prediction no less ................ Kenny Rogers - The gambler or Whigfield's Saturday night

Hmm, I've never played that one

I did a little set last saturday at a 21st which was sparked off by a request for the tune I played first....

Tell me mah - The Shamrocks
Irish Rover - The Dubliners
Scotland the rave (dunno why I tagged that on the end LOL)

They went bonkers for it, so I might do that one again at some point!

As for other party tunes in no paticular order.....

S Club 7 - Reach
Whitney Houston - I wanna dance
Jermaine Stewart - Clothes off
DJ Otzi - Hey Baby
Be*witched - Cest la vie

It was song the England Rugby team played in the dressing room to fire them up before games. One of the players can play a guitar and started playing and singing it, it then went on to them playing the full original version by KR. It really is a good old sing a long. I've played it in pub gigs and it does go down seriously well. Well worth 79p on i tunes!

The Mavericks - Dance The Night Away
Stereophonics - Dakota
Kenny Loggins - Footloose
Philip Oakey & Giorgio Moroder - Together In Electric Dreams
T.Rex - I Love To Boogie

Love Shack - B52's
Turn Me On - Kevin Little
Mambo No.5 - Lou Bega
Tragedy - Steps
Don't Stop Me Now - Queen

ok I confess, i have Kenny Rogers Greatest Hits.

It's just one of those tracks that if it wasn't for some obscure moment in history would've been lost and forgotten, errrrrrrrrrr Amarillo anyone

Let it go with the right timing they go for it big time

Foundations - Build me up
Candi Staton - Young hearts
Whitney - I wanna dance
Scissor Sisters - I don't feel like dancing
Queen - Don't stop me now

Not sure if I'm allowed to butt in as I'm a newbie here, so sorry if I don't belong.

I was amazed how well these went down.

The Nolans "I'm In The Mood For Dancing"
Toni Basil "Mickey"
Lulu "Shout"

but what totally shocked me was how badly Kylie went down!!

Neil Diamond - Sweet Caroline
Love Inc - You're a Superstar
Van Morrison - Brown Eyed Girl
Bon Jovi - Livin' On A Prayer
Monkees - Daydream Believer

PS I also find The Gambler goes down well



As a member you can add your point of view to any thread (the only areas that require a minimum post count are items for sale and gigs required)

Monkees - I'm A Believer
Edwin Starr - Contact
Jackson 5 - I Want You Back
Tramps - Disco Inferno
KC & Sunshine Band - That's The Way (uh huh uh huh) I Like It (uh huh uh huh).

Most of the others mentioned also go down a storm at the right time....

Last night DJ Otzi's Hey Baby was well received, it had been asked for by about 6 different people, perhaps it was just one of those songs that went down well with them, I normally find that this now goes down like a lead balloon and only play if requested.

Spinko

1 Scissor Sisters / I Don't Feel Like Dancing
2 Kiss / I Was Made For Loving You
3 ACDC / You Shook Me All Night Long
4 Violent Femmes / Blister In The Sun
5 Wham / Wake Me Up

Kenny Rogers The Gambler is requested a lot mostly by under 25's strangely

1. Candi Staton - Young Hearts
2. Brian Adams - Summer of 69'
3. Barry White - My First My Last My Everything
