  The Music

Cd 1
--------

1. Y.M.C.A - The Village People

What a great start to a party album, should get all the Mum's up and looking ridiculous.
_________________

2. I Should Be Lucky - Kylie Minogue

Yep kids, there was a time when Kylie was distinctly uncool. Another one for us oldies to sing-along to.
____________________

3. The Time Warp - Damian

Ok, my dancing isn't upto the level of The Rocky Horror Show, but its fun trying.
_________________________

4. Saturday Night - Whigfield

This ones a bit more up to date, and again there's a dance that goes with this.
_______________________

5. Rabbit - Chas & Dave

Lord this ones old. My Dad used to quote the "you've got more Rabbit than Sainsbury's" at me all the time.
_________________________

6. Groove Is In The Heart - Deee-Lite

Back to more modern times for this one, and no fancy dance routine :-( but still a great tune.
_______________________

7. Birdie song - The Tweets

Right everybody in a circle, and don't forget to wiggle your bum. A classic and great ice-breaker.
_________________________

8. Hey Mickey - Toni Basil

Time to get the pom poms out. Love this one and used to sing along all the time, far better than the modern version.
_______________________

9. Cotton Eye Joe - Rednex

Out with the cowboy boots, it's time for a bit of thigh slapping line-dancing.
_________________________

10. Just A Little Bit - Gina G

Oo-Ahh it's a nice bright bit of pop.
________________________

11. Jump Around - House Of Pain

Ummm what can I say about this one, reminds me of the time in my life where dancing consisted of jumping up and down on the spot.
________________________

12. Shout - Lulu

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell, what a classic. Might be from the sixties but still one of the best sing-along party anthems.
________________________

13. I'm A Beleiver - The Monkees

Looks like we're sticking firmly in the past for this one. But most children will still know this from Shrek.
_________________________

14. Venus - Bananarama

Great stuff from the Bananas, although most of the younger generation are going to think of razors, at least they can sing-along too.
____________________________

15. Swing The Mood - Jive Bunny

This is a great re-mix of many classic 60's songs. A bit of Round the clock, Little Susie, Hound Dog...need I go on.
____________________________

16. Say Cheese! (Smile Please) - Fast Food Rockers

This is a very up to date peice of cheese. And I don't think this is going to be a classic like the others on the disc.
____________________________

17. Things Can Only Get Better - D:Ream

A great ending for the CD with this feel good anthem.

Cd 2
--------

1. Come On Eileen - Dexy's Midnight Runners

Wow, they've chosen some great songs to start the CDs have'nt they.

My arms are in the air ready for the chorus.
______________________________

2. You Never Can Tell - Chuck Berry

We really turn back time for this classic.
______________________________

3. Oops Upside Your Head - The Gap Band

Not much to say about this one, pretty cheerful, but not what I'd a classic.
______________________________

4. I'm Too Sexy - Right Said Fred

One for the Boys to pose along to, showing off their sexy chests.
______________________________

5. Sexbomb - Tom Jones

A nice modern classic. Will have you singing in no time.
_______________________________

6. Wassup - Da Muttz

When you first here this you're going to think MC Hammer. A re-mix of U Can't Touch This inspired by a certain Lager Ad.
_____________________________

7. You Sexy Thing - Hot Chocolate

Yet another great classic, as good today as ever.
_______________________________

8. Sven Sven Sven - Belle & Spurling

A football anthem, so one for the boys. Was'nt impressed myself.
_____________________________

9. It's Raining Men - The Weather Girls

Hallelujah, another great feel good track.
_______________________________

10. We Are Family - Sister Sledge

One for all the family to join in with, but especially us girls.
_____________________________

11. Meat Pie, Sausage Roll - Grandad Robert's & His Son Elvis

I'd never heard of this one before, but it turns out its yet another footie anthem.
_______________________________

Not another footie song please.
_____________________________

13. Mr Loverman - Shabba Ranks

That's better, this ones perfect for a quick smooch.

This is the original version, not the Halifax one. And everyone knows the chorus, who who who.
________________________________

15. Lip Up Fatty - Bad Manners
________________________________

16. This Ole house - Shakin' Stevens

What a classic from Mr Hip Shaker himself. This one should carry a warning, that we're all to old to try and copy Ole Shakin'

Great song, with a moral!!! Drugs can ruin your life.

Disc 3
---------

1. Hey Baby - DJ Otzi

Yet another great song to start this CD, easy for the kids to sing to.

2. The Ketchup Song - Las Ketchup

This is another song, that has it's own dance, get the kids to teach you it, it's great fun.
______________________________

3. Hooray, Hooray - The Cheeky Girls

This is another waste of space, although the very young may enjoy it.
_______________________________

4. Let's Party - Jive Bunny

A great Christmas re-mix from jive including Merry Xmas Everybody, I wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday and Rock and Rollin Christmas.
_________________________________

5. La Bamba - Los Lobos

Ok, now it's time to try another silly dance, never got the hang of this dance but great song.
________________________________

Another new one, that's a firm favourite with my younger children.
________________________________

A catchy little tune that is quite recent.

I love the squeaky voice in this one, a modern dance tune.

___________________________________

13. Macarena - Los Del Rio

While we're already up and dancing, we may as well do the Macarena and embaress our kids even more.
_________________________________

14. Making Your Mind Up - Bucks Fizz

Right who remembers the skirts??? You do, well you'll love this one then. Just make sureyour fella doesn't get carried away and pull your skirt off. :-)

The pace slows for this one, and thank goodness there's no more silly dances.

  Final Words
• * * * * * * * * * * *

This is a fantastic party album, there's something for everyone although a few of the tracks are a bit of a let down.

But there should be a warning for teenagers that your parents will definately show you up. There is a real cringe factor to some of the songs especially when you watch the video of yourself dancing the next day.

So what are you waiting for

Lets PARTY!!!!
