I am in a quandry - Although I play it a lot, I can never find what I think is the right song to follow it with. Have tried lots of stuff but am never happy.

Last night I even ended up following it with Here comes my baby by The Mavericks as well. It's bad when you have to play 2 by the same artist.

So come on guys help me out here.

What are your follow up songs?

Man I Feel like a woman, 9 to 5, or Livin' Da Vida Loca.

mambo no 5

the cha cha @ the end mixes with the beginning of mambo if you play it in a bit

Paul

I don't necassarily see two songs by the same artiste as bad, especially if they are popular tunes. I often go from "man I feel like a woman" into "Dance the night away" and often wonder what next, but usually go into something like "La vida Loca". When it was popular I would also have used "rock DJ".

phil collins can't hurry love
or
amy winehouse valerie
works for me

good question its a song i would'nt play unlesss requested but maybe the galway girl ( magners advert )would work ???

Danno, you play the songs I follow it with, but it seems like you need a country one of the same ilk (my opinion anyway).

Never tried Mambo No5, but my well be worth a whirl.

Can see you can't hurry love working, but I'd use Valerie elsewhere in the evening I think.

Galway girl possibly, but I'm not sure of the appeal. I did think of trying Boot Scootin' Boogie by Brooks & Dunn or Small Town Saturday Night, and felt the same about the appeal of the songs

If I play it tonight, I'll try Mambo I think & see how it works.

Thank guys.

Anyone else have an opinion?

Bit of a cheesey one BUT what about steps?

S Club 7 - Reach is also a good one, and you can then mix nicely into Mambo No 5... obviously needs to be a bit of a cheesy crowd though..

yeah ive been known to throw on some steps 5,6,7,8 in the middle of a cheese-fest

hermes house band - country roads

Lee, I've got that, and totally forget to ever play it!

That could well be the one I'm looking for

Thanks my man!

Another mavericks tune - There goes my Baby

from an earlier post of mine
'Last night I even ended up following it with Here comes my baby by The Mavericks as well. It's bad when you have to play 2 by the same artist.'

or is that a different track?

I think it's the same. It goes down very well with an older type audience only. Must play it about 10 times a year.

I 99% of the time play La Bamba by Los Lobos...

Have to have it a little bit louder than Dance the night and 99% of the time it works....

Here Comes My Baby is a great song but the Mavericks version is shocking, stick with the classic Cat Stevens version, it get a surprisingly good reaction when I play it.

As for the country cheese-fest, you can't go wrong with this little 3some:

Hillbilly Rock - Woolpackers
5,6,7,8 - Steps (Someone asked me for 1,2,3,4 by Steps last week!!!)
Cotton Eye Joe - Rednex

Hermes House Band, Billy Ray Cyrus, Dolly Parton etc can all be thrown in to the mix if it's going well but those 3 never fail to get the boots scootin!

the original was by the Tremeloes.

But Mr Islam's version is the bestest!!!!
