167.0. ""PARTY" SONGS?" by FSOA::HLEINONEN () Thu Mar 12 1992 10:10

    
    	Can anyone suggest some fairly current "party" songs? 
    	I need some well know songs with short, catchy lyrics 
    	that audiences would recognize after a measure or two. 
    	My theatre group needs them to illustrate a festive 
    	occasion and right now we're stuck with "Celebrate".
    	
    	I'd prefer the words to actually reference a party. 
    	Like:
    	
    	  "We're havin a party, everybody's singing ...."
    
    
    	I need the title(s) and some lyrics if possible.
    
    			Thanks!

    I got a 12" of a song with the same title and the same lyrics by Phil
    Fearon (formerly singing with Galaxy). Is this the same song?

    This one is a Pete Hammond production, 124 BPM. Wether or not it's the
    same, if you're into house/dance music, this is also a great one! It used
    to raise the roof in 1988 for the club I used to go to anyway ;-)

    Andr� ;^)

    Let's quizzz huh? ;)
    
    from the top of my head;
    
    Mezzoforte:Garden Party(band from Iceland they went to the U.K)
    Wally jump jr.& the criminal element:Private Party
    (an early 70's hit) The Ovations:Having a party(RE.0 close to your
    suggestion huh?)
    Bunnie Sigler:Let me party with you.
    
    And a German band of which Frank Farian used to be the producer, had a 
    cut called"Party Party", I'll remember it later. ;^)
167.7Van Morrison stuffATIS01::ASHFORTHI'm NOT ugly- I'm cosmetically challenged!Fri Mar 13 1992 08:016
I'm not the world's biggest "Van fan," but some of his songs would seem to fit
the bill. The ones which come right to mind are "Dancin' in the Moonlight" and
"Brown-Eyed Girl." They seem like the type of songs folks start singing along
with (loudly) when they're deep into the party spirit...

167.8Prince - 1999PIPE::GOODMichael GoodFri Mar 13 1992 12:425
    Prince's 1999 is a great party song.  The chorus has the
    musical hook that is most popular:
    
      Two thousand zero zero party over oops out of time
      Tonight I'm going to party like it's 1999
167.9AKOCOA::SALLOWAYYou'll See Perpetual ChangeFri Mar 13 1992 12:526
    Eddie Murphy - Pahty All the Time
    
    Not one of the greatest records of all time, but could fit the bill
    if you want to buy into the lyric.
