"Hello darling how's the weather?" He's in space you thick bint. Bloody awful song...
State of the Game
- Thread starter Fuglydog53
- Start date
It would be a good idea to get a playlist sorted for the forthcoming party.
Whilst I'm not a professional DJ, I've just been listening to Pat Sharp on the radio and have a hitachi superwoofer with dual tapes so happy to step up to the role.
So far I suggest the following:
As people are coming in : Leo playing the theme from the sweeney on bagpipes
During the meal : pan pipe version of Nirvana's nevermind album
After the meal we need some good stuff to get us all in the mood for a party…
Party songs :
Russ abbot - atmosphere
Everyone loves a bit of black lace, so I suggest agadoo - definitely not their mucky song from "Rita sue and bob too"
Ender keeps banging on about being the youngest so "mr blobby" can be played while he eats his jelly & ice cream in the ball pit then runs about sliding on his knees on the dancefloor.
There’s always some oddball fans of niche / weird music that hassle the DJ, so to cater for these I’ve selected:
Metal fans: something really heavy like Europe's 'the final countdown'
Goths / gloom mongers: 'Friday I'm in love' by the cure.
Dance, Techno, rap & Grime fans: 'no limit' by 2 unlimited
World music fans: 'shutuppa your face' by Joe Dolce
Americans only listen to country music so the Texan classic "Man I feel like a woman" by Shania Twain
Space themed songs: Hands across the moon by the Rah band (ubermick)
Requests:
The crunch – the rah band (Oztig)
To end we can have group dancing to include Kylie's 'locomotion' & 'conga' by Black Lace again.
Finally karaoke until the police come to break up the party.
Thes are all brilliant suggestions and you are employed as the DJ.
Might I suggest we get some ABBA in the mix.
Perhaps star sounds on 45 - its a medley so you don't have to listen to the boring bits.
Let's try and keep the songs from the mid 90's down please I don't want to be jamming out to T-Swifts latest breakup songs or some tortured sound that passes for modern rap.
Im considering making the party fancy dress so we if possible need to dress like our heroes/icons and forum avatars.
I'll dress like a 6th form comprehensive geography teacher with the leather elbow patches.

No ABBA please. I have.....reasons.
You hear that Xzan as much abba as possible.
Also, you know any bouncers to watch Rubber in case he comes dressed as Judi Dench dressed as a cat?
Of course...
It's commonly accepted that music stopped being any good when Westlife started so we shall respect this rule.
I still shudder at their butchery of uptown girl.
You stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night?

When my second daughter was delivered via C Section ABBA was playing to calm my wife. Between my wife and the emerging child was a modesty curtain, and I was on the wrong side of it.......as 'Dancing Queen' kicked in I gazed inside my wife in the worst possible way.
Yes but only if Michael Flatley is there dressed as lionel.
It's a pity child didn't emerge to "ah-ha"
Here's today's reminder that things could always be worse.
The forums don't like that link, apparently.

It is brutal what music can "bring to the surface".
Years ago, when I was reading "Cyteen" by C.J. Cherryh, I was also listening to the B-52's CD "Whammy". Now whenver I hear a song from that CD, my emotional reaction to all of the horrible stuff that happened in that "story" comes flooding back.
Whenever I hear 'Saturday Nights alright for fighting' by Elton John, I always think of our border collie from when I was a kid.
Dad was trying to tape top of the pops by putting the tape recorder in front of the TV speaker, and every time Elton sang "satuday nights alright", it was followed by woof woof from the kitchen, where lady our dog had been shut away, so he didn't interrupt the recording.
Ah simpler, happier days.
