Advantages: GREAT PARTY TRACKS
Disadvantages: SOME NOT SO GREAT TRACKS

...to hear all your mates wailing like some sort of screaming thing, then put this on. One of my favourites on this cd and also one of my favourite karaoke songs. RATE 10/10 13.THE MONKEES - IM A BELIEVER Another great song to sing along to, and it is also featured on shrek so younger people will know it too. RATE 7/10 14.BANANARAMA - VENUS Not much of a party song, and not one of my favourite Bananarama songs. RATE 5/10 15.JIVE BUNNY - SWING THE MOOD A collection of different rock and roll songs. Just be careful if you play this tune as it is garanteed that someone will try to pick you up and throw you over their shoulder. RATE 5/10 16.FAST FOOD ROCKERS - SAY CHEESE!!!! What can I say but NO, NO, NO,NO. RATE 2/10 17.D-REAM - THINGS CAN ONLY GET BETTER Takes me back to my school disco............ Ah to be young again. Great tune. Rate 8... Read review
