Who rocks the party? (don't answer that)

Songs that simply rock out:
1. You Should Be Dancing
2. Poison (if you come to my party you best believe everyone's ass better be out of their seats for this one)
3. Most anything by Machel Montano.
Songs that should be played at a party once the adults have had one drink:
1. YMCA
2. Dollar Wine (and, seriously, this song needs to be taken back because y'all are embarrassing me)
3. Jungle Love
Songs that should only be played at a party once all the adults have had at least two highly potent drinks:
1. The Electric Slide
2. The Cupid Shuffle
3. The Cha-Cha Shuffle
Songs that should only be played at parties when the DJ has a deathwish:
1. The Macarena
2. Who Let The Dogs Out
3. Buster Poindexter's version of Feeling Hot. Please findThe Mighty Sparrow's Arrow's original and give the man some props; he is a legend.
ETA - And just listen to some of Sparrow's stuff. I stand corrected. :)

While you're stuck on a boat.
I feel for the other two doing sound with me that night. I liked the guitar and bass lines, and didn't mind the drums. They, however, were drummers and they insisted it was the same exact beat through the entire night.
They were ready to swim across Boston Harbor to escape, a condition I didn't begin to approach until it looked as if the captain was going to circle the harbor one more time while Hot, Hot, Hot went into yet another brazillion choruses. As he wisely decided to steer for the dock, it didn't come to that. =)
And, of course, these days I find myself putting a reggae-like guitar and drum part in the new tune. Go figure.

30 minutes? Fo serious? The song always gets the older folks out of their seats, at least. Although granny isn't going to be shaking what's left of her groove thang for that long. That's just torture. Who'd you guys piss off, I wonder?

Captain left the wheel house to dance across the main floor a couple of times. Hell, I don't know about the women's rest rooms, but the guys in the mens rooms were dancing the entire time they did their business.
It was kind of scary really. =)
