Ultimate Party Songs. Need Help!

[bigwillq]

My mom is throwing my sis and I a 30th b-day party next month. She hired a DJ and we are trying to compile a song list. I am looking for the ultimate party songs.

What I am searching for are songs like

"Sweet Caroline", yes I love this song despite the origin of the Caroline the song is about!

"Come on Eileen"

"Oh, What a night"

Songs like that.

So help me out and let's make my party a rockin' affair!

:bounce: :hi:

2. Beautiful Day is a great song.

The other ones not so much. People always say I have terrible taste in music!

Yeah, we are kind of looking for those cheesy dance songs that are fun to dance with when all drunk up! :beer: :) We like to get silly stupid and rock out!

[MrCoffee]

[WinkyDink]

5. "Shout". "Brown Sugar".

[JeffR]

6. Prince: 1999

can't miss

[bigwillq]

20. Good one!

:hi:

[Sanity Claws]

7. You're too young for those songs!!

How did two 30 year olds ever even learn of those songs?
If you like those songs, you might like some Billy Joel songs too.

[bigwillq]

21. Believe it or not

They play a lot of those songs but the dance/club mix at alot of the clubs I go too! :)

4. Gap Band--You Dropped the Bomb on Me
5. Ton Loc--Funky Cold Medina

[stuntcat]

51. :headbang:

such a sweeet list :headbang:

[Blue Fire]

10. These might work (if they're not too hard rock!)

Aerosmith - "Dude Looks Like A Lady"
Boston - 'Smokin'", "Party"
Def Leppard - "Let It Roll"
Collective Soul - "Gel"
Nazareth - "Hair of the Dog"
Donny Iris - "Love Is Like A Rock"
Queen - "Tie Your Mother Down"
Slade - "Run Runaway"
Styx - "Midnite Ride"
Trooper - "Raise A Little Hell"
Right Said Fred - "Too Sexy"

I see you mentioned "Oh, What a Night". If you referring to April Wine's "Oowatanite", that's a good one too.
Have a super 30th! If I try real hard, I can sorta remember mine back in '88! :party: :toast: :headbang: :headbang: :beer: :toast: :hippie: :party:
