Party Music

[nyvettebeltran]

I was just wondering which songs are the best songs to have at a party?

I want to make people dance I know a few such as YG- Get Her Tho for an example.
Does anyone else have any others it would be much appreciated thanks.

I would love to hear your opinions.

You could try Here for the Party by Gretchen...If you like country...always makes me feel like dancing.

What kind of music; which genre are you thinking about? If your audience isn't that picky or has a a more general taste in music, then I'd look through Billboard's top Hot 100 songs of 2013 as a base (http://www.billboard.com/charts/year-end/2013/hot-100-songs). Then add other songs that are very popular from other years. Esp. look at adding older songs (eg from the 80s and 90s) for that nostalgic effect. Also perhaps some "group / line dance" type of songs (which don't necessarily have to be country). Some suggestions:

• Come on Eileen - Dexy's Midnight Runners
• Jump - Van Halen
• Red Solo Cup - Toby Keith
• Friends in Low Places - Garth Brooks
• Fishin' in the Dark - The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
• Cotton Eye Joe - Rednex
• Centerfold - The J. Geils Band
• Gimme Three steps - Lynyrd Skynyrd
• (Let the) Good Times Roll - The Cars
• Jessie's Girl - Rick Springfield
• I Gotta Feeling - The Black Eyed Peas
• Margaritaville - Jimmy Buffet
• Boot Scootin' Boogie - Brooks & Dunn
• Cupid Shuffle - Cupid
• 867-5309 / Jenny - Tommy Tutone
• Bust a Move - Young MC
• Celebration - Kool & the Gang
• Kickstart My Heart - Motley Crue
• Tik Tok - Ke$ha
• Wlecome to the Jungle - Guns N Roses
• Suicide Blonde - INXS
• Groove is in the Heart - Deee-Lite
• Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now) - C+C Music Factory
• Baby Got Back - Sir Mix-A-Lot
• Good Vibrations - Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch
