The best party songs are the ones that get everyone on their feet and interacting. Sure, the electric slide and the chicken dance may be familiar to most people of a certain age, but more often than not they’ll just make your party seem lame. Instead, check out some ideas others have had for great party music. Online music stores sell digital downloads of single songs – but did you know that many people assemble playlists right on the site? You can look through a bunch of posted collections, pick out what you think are the best party songs, and voila – you now have a great playlist with much less work than starting from scratch.
If your party is happening in the future, try putting up a poll or asking a question on your favorite social networking site to ask your friends what their favorite music is, and from their answers you can cull a group of the best party songs for those attending. Another fun way to pick out songs without work is to have everyone pick out two numbers randomly – the first can be any number between 1 and how many CDs or albums are in your collection. The second number can be between 1 and 12, twelve being a common number of songs in albums. When you match up all the numbers with your collection, you’ll have a funky playlist of the best party songs chosen at random.
Whatever you think the best party songs are, remember to take your guests into consideration. If they don’t look like they’re into the music, switch gears and either change the type of music you’re playing or offer to hand over DJ duties to a music-minded friend for awhile. Your thoughtfulness will definitely be remembered when it comes time for your friends to throw parties of their own.
